   Hacker Morality

   From: jklus99@gmail.com   
      
   I would like to discuss the concept of morality in concerns of Anonymous as an   
   example.    
      
   I am looking to discuss with people what the code of conduct is for hacking.    
   What the true difference between white hat and black hat.  I don't hear much   
   about gray either.    
      
   There are several things on my mind.  I think there might be seriously   
   dangerous flaw in their system.      
      1. What is to prevent their loose organization from being high jacked by   
   some idiot who say, kills someone on accident or even on purpose in their   
   name.          
      
      2. Do these organizations have a code that they have provided in advance so   
   that the public can be aware of what the character of the members of the   
   organization consists of?  (Like the knights of old)    
      
      3. How can you add or contribute to their target selection?    
      
      4. Should they be consider different cells of a single organism or each   
   member of their own being?    
      
   I just feel it would be important to learn about these types organization   
   because without a head, these types of groups are impossible to stamp out and   
   they are easy to high jack.  I would love to hear thoughts on this topic in   
   general from hackers both    
   established and coming up in the ranks.
