Hi Ethical Hackers,

How many of you know about the existence of an Universal Hacker Emblem?



Read More about it here.

So should we accept the logo ?

Rrrrroyt...

I've read this article before, and I've been tempted to draw it in various places, but I don't know if many people even use it, or worse, if the cracker community has adopted it.

So basically, what is the status on the emblem? I think it would be cool if more and more hackers used this as an identifying mark. I mean, It would be cool to see a guy wearing a shirt with the glider on it one day (or any emblem representing hackers) and just walk up and be able to talk because of common ground.

Also, what is the status of Raymond? I checked his site the other day and it doesn't seem to have any new information on it or anything.

I like the idea but I would like to see a Ethical Hacker Emblem to avoid the crackers association with any symbol.

I agree. Let's create one from scratch that we know belongs to the EH community and something that everyone can contribute to.

Don, perhaps you could think of an incentive competition to get the new 'flag' off the ground in this forum

I've known about the glider symbol for a few years now.

Personaly, I think the need to associate to a symbol or emblem is a bit childish. I don't need an emblem to know my own worth, or the worth of the community I belong to. Not adopting an emblem doesn't make me any less a member than someone who has adopted it. I'm sorry for putting a spoke in the wheels of this merry little thread, but I don't see the efficiency, practicality or added value to be gained from this.

There's no such thing. Perhaps you are not familiar with the cracker mentality. If it can be used, then it can be exploited. If it can be exploited then a cracker will use it. If there ever did exist something that a cracker couldn't use, then why should we want to use it?

Good idea. Some people might be gullable enough to trust someone like that. Who knows - they might even have a little white hat on their head too. 

I was thinking more on the line of using a file of the emblem for ADS or wrapping it with malware and sending it to thousands of people in a spam campaign.
