Black Hat Hacker
The black hat hacker is someone that uses "evil" techniques to achieve their goals. For example, spammers or people that intentionally try and take down other peoples work for their own gain. They are also those that spy on you with a backdoor trojan and a keylogger. In essence, they are evil.
Many white hatters are disgusted by black hat techniques and put their heads in the sand. The problem is that the black hatter will almost always win because they will use black and white hat techniques. In essence, they are morally corrupt, but are better at winning the game.
Some people report that any black hatter, on average, will beat out any white hatter. It takes a ton of skill to be good at black hat.
Don't be tempted to go black hat. It can seriously get you put in jail and harm a lot of innocent people. However, you need to be aware of their techniques and know how to defend against them. If you are a serious computer person, you will eventually be putting your wits up against one of the black hatters. Whether you win, will be determined by your knowledge base. If you only know white hat techniquest you won't have much of a chance.
