Redhats are neither whitehat nor blackhat, but a mix of both. Adapted from early RPG games where white mages used healing, protective "good" spells, black mages used elemental, destructive "bad" spells, and red mages had a selection of spells from both.
Examples of redhats:
- People who are hired to find security holes in a network, do so, but create new exploits in order to take advantage of later.
- Someone who breaks into a secure area and then informs the owner that they can fix the security holes if they hire them.
- Someone who works in network security and uses their job experience to take advantage of exploits either within their own company or elsewhere.

“No redhat, don’t Michael and Prince me and Ye
They separate you when you got Michael and Prince’s DNA"
AFI's song "RedHat"
"Can’t remember days, the days we posses, only the day she left.
I see her in the crucifix, my mind begins to slip. My love had fallen right to a T.
Then I close my eyes and the tears begin to run, the nightmare has just begun.
