	Hacker -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Blackhat: A person that maintains his or her vulnerabilities and exploits as confidential.
		Blackhats poke holes in systems and do not increase control of information; there are no attempts made to disclose or patch software.
		Conversely, flhats may claim the lighter the hat, the more the ethics of the activity are lost.

	The Enemy: Protecting Your Organization from Blackhats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		By understanding the flhat's methodologies, you will have a better idea of who your enemy is and the threat you face.
		Some of these flhats are advanced users who develop their own tools and leave behind sophisticated backdoors.
		Most likely, their systems were scanned by a flhat who happened to be sweeping that address block.

	Know Your Enemy: Honeynets
		Once a system is compromised, flhats will often require Internet connectivity, such as retrieving toolkits, setting up IRC connections, etc. We have to give them the flexibility to execute these actions, as these are the very steps we want to learn and analyze.
		So, the trick is to give the flhat flexibility to execute whatever they need, but without allowing them to use the compromised system to attacks others, such as Denial of Service attacks, system scans, and exploits.
		Blackhats are continually developing methods to avoid detection, such as anti-IDS techniques or encryption.

	[Full-Disclosure] RE: Please post to the list
		All of that is axiomatic, however, the so-called flhats have been posting here, ranting about the security industry and how it it's greedy and leeches off of other people's work.
		If the so-called flhats were sincere about the security industry going away, they would go away.

	COTSE-What would you do if you produced unsecured software?
		Most of them by the flhat community, a community that would like nothing better than to keep it secret that they know a new way to compromise a system.
		This allows system administrators to address the issue rather than be in the dark while the flhats run rings around their systems through a vulnerability only the flhats know about.
		Blackhats will still know about the vulnerabilities, and it is flhat nature to share those vulnerabilities with each other in the underground and to use them while trying to keep it all secret from those who might patch them.

	Can the hackers be stopped?- ADTmag.com
		The term generally refers to someone attempting unauthorized access or activity to a closed computer system, and The Honeynet Project uses the term in lieu of the better-known ''hacker'' or ''cracker.'' True hackers do not consider themselves to be criminal, and they never penetrate a system with the intent to cause harm.
		Blackhats employing a strategy of ''probing for the easy kill'' are not searching for specific information or targeting a specific company, Spitzner explained.
		System administrators who believe flhats attack only late at night tend to miss scans when they search their log entries for probes the night before.

	The Superbowl Hack Lessons From a Blackhat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The term flhat is used by the security community to define the bad guys, the evil-doers, the criminals.
		At this point in the game we don't know for sure what our flhat is using FTP for, but past experiences and documentation have proven that flhats generally FTP to previously compromised systems where they store tools to be retrieved for a later date.
		My guess is something went wrong for flhat so she stopped until she could resolve the problem.

	The Centennial memoirs of Ross Kimmel - 1961
		To be honest, we Blackhats were not among the most enlightened white people at the time, but we certainly had no ulterior motives as white supremacists.
		But in the reenactment, the Blackhats were assigned to Beauregard's forces and so got to be part of both the initial retreat and the resurgence.
		We Blackhats were a shooting organization too, but only to the extent that we had to be in order to belong to the major uniformed and armed Civil War entity at that time.

	The Centennial Memoirs of Ross Kimmel - 1960
		My father called Rolph first and found out that the Blackhats were pretty much an organization for boys, that they placed great emphasis on authenticity, and made all of their own clothing and equipment.
		Another stellar Blackhat personality was Roy Collins, a Virginian, maybe a year or two older than I. He was lanky and fair-featured, and took to wearing a shoulder-length wig in the field, these being the days before males wore their own hair long.
		As was often the case, the Blackhats shot miserably in the team musket competition, and we were subjected for the rest of the day to the inevitable "Wrath of Rolph," previously mentioned.

	LinuxSecurity.com Reviews the Honeynet Project's Know Your Enemy Book - The Community's Center for Security
		The Honeynet Project was developed to gain the knowledge of the flhats by putting them in the unwitting role of the teacher, sharing their most closely held secrets about their motivations, attack techniques, and tools.
		Previously, emulated systems (in some cases called "honeypots") were placed on the Internet, but often lacked the ability to contain the flhat once the system was compromised, were limited to specific operating systems or environments, or unable to detect unknown vulnerabilities.
		When a system is compromised, and the data on it and its network are compromised, it is not simple to determine the extent of the damage without a lot of work.

	RE: 0-day Exploits
		These vulnerabilities are found by flhats and they do not share the vulnerability information with the vendor or public.
		As the vendor is not aware of the vulnerability, these flhats have an upper hand and they code an exploit and hack as much as they can.
		Once they get bored of using that exploit or it is somehow leaked (by some friend etc) they disclose the vulnerability information and then we recieve advisories from the vendor with patches.

	Defeating Honeypots : Network issues, Part 1
		By "defeating a honeypot", this paper refers to defeating the role of a honeypot, or in other words we will mainly focus on attacks that are used to detect a honeypot and/or disable parts of it (such as disabling its ability to record all activities).
		It is widely known that some flhats enjoy SSH sessions to compromised computers.
		Therefore, it is critically important for security professionals who deploy honeypots to be aware of the methods flhat hackers use to identify them.

	Charter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		A Honeynet works by creating a highly controlled environment that is probed, attacked, and compromised by flhats.
		Data Control: Once a honeypot within the Honeynet is compromised, we have to contain the activity and ensure the honeypots are not used to harm non Honeynet systems.
		An example would be a non flhat testing a tool by attacking a honeypot.

		The BlackHats, are guided by the same passion and aptitudes than the WhiteHats but they differ in what they believe in, and by their way of doing.
		BlackHats seem to be more underground than the WhiteHats, exchanging ideas and tools on small web sites and discussions boards.
		He can be described as a hooligan, as someone that uses tools and techniques developed by WhiteHats, BlackHats and Crackers to destroy information, deface sites and other types of digital-vandalism.

		This is such a stupid notion that I won't bother to comment it further, other that it's been known for years that some phones have Bluetooth security issues.
		Mostly obsolete by now, and the issues were of (very) limited practical use for flhats.
		And, for people who have absolutely no idea of how things work, there is no way a Bluetooth worm will ever work unless we all use a single smartphone platform.

	Unix Review > Securing Linux 101: Reasonable Steps to Detect and Prevent Blackhats
		Blackhats are very clever and, much like squirrels breaking into bird feeders, will try again and again until they succeed.
		I just read a paper on GETSLAG from SensePost (http://www.sensepost.com) that outlines a technique to use a Windows browser to transfer data in and out over HTTP, or to potentially run other programs with obvious sinister consequences.
		Tucson Ariz. and Temecula, Calif. have approved the deployment of municipal Wi-Fi networks, as the public network rollout of the wireless technology appears to be gathering momentum.

	Black Hat Training Course: Hackers on Honeypots
		In the never ending cyberwar between whitehats and flhats, Honeypots have become a new class of defensive tools, allowing to delude attackers.
		Hands on lab exercises are built to improve your pratical knowledge with whitehats and flhats tools.
		His research focus on defensive technologies highly closed to flhats activities like honeypots, intrusion prevention, IDS, firewalls, sandboxes, etc. Laurent has been teaching network and systems security for the last seven years, and has managed numerous security projects for about ten years.

	IDS Evasion Techniques and Tactics
		Blackhats, security researchers and network intrusion detection system (NIDS) developers have continually played a game of point-counterpoint when it comes to NIDS technology.
		The BlackHat community continually develops methods to evade or bypass NIDS sensors while NIDS vendors continually counter act these methods with patches and new releases.
		Due to the inherent complexities involved in capturing, analyzing and understanding network traffic there are several common techniques that can be used to exploit inherent weaknesses in NIDSs.

	Computer and Network Forensic (CNF) Project
		As flhats became more skilled and computers became more powerful, conventional security measures became less effective.
		This perpetual action-response reaction cycle evolved into a new field of study known as Computer and Network Forensics (CNF).
		In addition to putting computer criminals in jail, CNF techniques have enabled whitehats to learn valuable information about flhats' techniques and methods and to formulate protection and defense mechanisms, tools, and techniques.

	Splogs: Whitehats +1, Blackhats -1
		They won't take action if the flags were triggered for the wrong reason, evil content will still be terminated.
		So I would say: whitehats +1, flhats -1, Google -1 and the new Google employee who owes his job to this easy-to-****-up-system +1 (needed this last one to straighten the equation...)
		On the other hand, I did not flag a blog that looked legit, so it is still possible that some bot visits after a flag is raised to see if there are any tell tail signs of splog...the one I flagged was blatant.

		Their weapons explode when they die, so does the headbanger chip also go "BANG?" and how big of a bang is it?
