White Hat - These are people who write Anti Virus programs, and spend their time fighting malware. They do not get involved in the use of viruses/trojans, but instead spend their time disinfecting computers.
Black Hat - These are people with casual disregard for morals. They infect other computers, and some commit serious fraud and other crimes. These people give "Hacking" a bad name.
Grey Hat - These people are in between white and black hat.
Skid - This is someone who is not very good at hacking, and does not really know what they are talking about. They C&P programs, instead of learning how to code one themselves. If you are called this, don't bother flaming back as this will just encourage the person. Some people also use the term noob.
