hmmm hackers are the good guys, you mean cybercriminals, criminals
and other rats..
Most of the software you use is been secure and tested by hackers
for your protection, same as most research on vulnerabilities
that get reported to companies and even the browser you are
using is most likely created and tested, secured by hackers

the rats that steal old peoples CC's and such are not hackers
but are rat criminals or part of a criminal organization
using techniques and knowladge to commit crimes.

"Hackers" in the tech sense simply means to *anyone* who breaks into
computers or software code,

"A hacker breaks into computer systems. There are hackers
who exploit weak security for malicious intent, and ethical
hackers who help find vulnerabilities."

but there are two main sub-groups - "Black Hat Hackers" (the criminals)
and "White Hat Hackers" (the ones who find and report bugs / security
holes), named after the traditional hat colours of the bad and good
guys in old cowboy movies.

You'd never know if you were visited by a true "hacker".

Hello, good day, I already know your definition and what you pasted, those are mainstraim and wrong popular belief because of bad media and silly movies. Stallman and many Linux hackers do not break into systems and are hackers.
The white/black hat is a militarized term, and ethical hacking was a way
for corporate america to say we hired a hacker with out having to
have people rolling their eyes... did you even read the site I linked?
It explains it way better than I can, that org is financed by
many 50-60+ years olds, (like myself) old school hackers and collectives
that now all work for the same people who calls us ethical hackers and
white hats, and yes, now **we** are the ones that roll our eyes when someone says that...

At the end if you going to define something I will go to the roots
and the people in that culture and personality and not what
mass media, movies and academia as a result, say but that is just me, of course
anyone is free to say whatever, I just get concerned when
people includes me and my peers in a phrase that in reality points to criminals
because none of the hackers I know are criminals.

Have a good weekend.

Happy Hacking
