Comment on Inside the Underground Trade of ‘Flipper Zero’ Tech to Break into Cars
int32@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day agoAnd ethical hacking and law-abiding hacking aren’t the same either
I prefer saying ‘grey hat’ instead of ‘ethical hacker’ because ethical hacker is now used to mean ‘pentester’, ‘red teamer’ and all the other cybersecurity stuff, or so it seems to me.
that was the entire meaning of my comment, I clearly didn’t make it clear enough.

All of that is under the umbrella term of ethical hacker. Black/grey/white hat are some very outdated and unclear terms, and also terms that non-tech people don’t really understand.
Ethical hacker is a term that lay people also understand and because of that it has replaced the rest of these terms.
(And also, “ethical hacker” encompasses both the grey and white hat. So it’s not an equivalent term to “grey hat”.)
