question about diablosight

[Force]

According to wikipedia, "black hat" (a reference to the colors of hats worn by heroes/villains in westerns) is a neologism to refer to "crackers" (malicious hackers). I thought "black hat" sounded cooler than "cracker" so I used that and supplied the link. I never liked the term "cracker." It reminds me of "Did you hear me, cracka? There's SNAKES ON A PLANE!"

I always thought "black hats" were simply hackers with malicious intentions. And I believe crackers happen to be hackers that simply break registration and security codes (example, registry/cd keys).
