I was contacted via email and asked if I would be interested in coming to speak. We discussed several issues, ranging from the recent DoS attacks, to how home users can protect their computers. It was a very interesting evening, and we spent alot of the time explaining to these people that what we are doing is a good thing....that not everyone is interested in destroying things, but we are here to help and bring knowledge and unity into the scene. Black/White/Grey hat labels were discussed, and they got a pretty good idea of what the true meanings are, instead of the media definitions. I have been asked not to make the channel name public at this time because they are afraid that some uber cool kiddies may come in and start trouble with them. I think this is understandable, and respect their decision. We have been invited to come back and chat again sometime, and if this happens I am going to try to get everyone invited to come and participate. I have to admit I was quite surprised about being invited, and wasn't sure how to go about asking my buds to attend, but the evening really turned out great and we met some pretty cool people. This goes to show that respect can be gained from all angles, we are not permanently labeled. We are only labeled until we peel off the sticker.
