Firestarter! Part # 1 White Hat
I wanted to start a series of articles about hacking. You can start writing about a variety of vulnerabilities, the nuances of Penetration test'ing. But hacking starts with people. And as The Mentor (Loyd Blankenship) wrote in his Hacker Manifesto :
Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is
It’s not.
a hacker is a criminal, but not everything is so simple ...
Why am I so critical? - yes, because smart and strong is already a “villain”.
The term “White hat” takes its roots from old American westerns where the “good guys” wore white hats. “Ethical hackers,” as they are also called, are computer specialists who, using various methodologies, find problems in software and notify the vendor company or developer. As practice shows, most of the White hat - altruists, and earn on hacking as much as other people in their hobby. Why is that? Yes, because the white hat, for the most part - single technicians. One person is not enough to organize his business, and it is easier for corporations to buy a person than to use his services.
White hat is a latent paranoid, he is afraid of special services, and therefore does not overstep the line of law, most often at an intuitive level.
Steve Wozniak (Woz)
As a student, he made and sold “blue boxes” which allowed telephone companies to “throw” on international calls.

Tim berners-lee
Studying in Oxford for the first time I got caught on hacking passwords to university computers.
Linus torvalds
Hacked and modified the home OS Sinclair QL
Richard stallman
Studying at MIT suggested not using passwords on lab computers. Of course no one listened to him. Richard hacked the system, reset all passwords and sent a newsletter about it.
Tsutomu Shimomura
Hacked AT & T, to listen to the congressional telephone conversations.
He also helped to catch Kevin Almighty
White hat psycho-intuitive-logical extrovert.
Well sees the prospects of new ideas and projects. He is interested in everyone in the hope of finding something unique. Quickly rejects those ideas that were unpromising, and switches to something new. Has a variety of interests. Often his hobbies are not related to the main work. It seeks to collect all the discoveries and innovations on the problem of interest to him. It generates bold, alternative ideas on any issue that he only has to face. Does not tolerate routine and shackles of tradition. If the work he is forced to deal with does not attract him, he will give him a completely new turn. May suggest a large number of applications of the invention or discovery. Persistent and expansive in distributing their own developments. To catch the fire, he has to make her "his".

In the title, Firestarter symbolizes that the White hat was lit by a fire that changed the world, even if it was virtual.
If the interest of such topics will appeal to habroles, the next post will be about Black Hat || Social engineering.
