What do you guys think of gray hats, hacktivism and leftist cybercriminals? Hactivism is a politically motivated cybercrime that may target oppressive governments or capitalists. Gray hats are cybercriminals who often engage in such cybercrimes.
Also, white hats are fuckin' posers man. Corporations keep shilling for them because they're useful idiots.
the black/white dichotomy is a false one, because it is divorced from class struggle

with black hat activity it is largely the opposite, except in the Chinese case where It Depends. the real dichotomy is between red hats and yellow hats - hackers that work in the interest of the proletariat, or those that work in the interest of the bourgeoisie (including themselves when done for petty bourgeois purposes)
>>28558>critical supportWhy should I support proprietards instead of Chinese FLOSS devs?
>red hatsYou've just made this term up haven't you? Red hats are just leftist gray hats really.

>>28560>antiimperialismNo, it's techno-imperialism, it sabotages the proles' computers with proprietary software.

Btw, the term "ethical hacking" is such an obvious Newspeak psyop, just like the term "piracy" is. The corporations want you to think that if you download DRM-locked games with spyware and microtransactions for free or get unsolicited access to private documents that expose the CEO as a pedo rapist money launderer then you are an evil person.
>>28563The question is whether the ends justify the means rather than whether China will become socialist in 2077 or not.
>>28564>The question is whether the ends justify the means rather than whether China will become socialist in 2077 or not.sure. what I'm trying to get at is that if you're going to poke at proprietary software to try and break it, you should poke at Western software
