Get the whitehat mug.Whitehaven is a small town on coast in the North West of England, in the county of Cumbria. It has a vast (often marinal) history, expecially in rum smuggling, coal mining, and is famous as the last place in England to be invaded. Every four years, the town holds a Maritime Festival that attracts many tourists to the town for the various festival attractions.
The square layout of Whitehaven has led many historians to believe it to have been the inspiration for the layout of New York City. Also, George Washington's grandmother is reputed to be buried in the centre church of the town.

Get the whitewall mug.Whitehat was a word previously used to mean that they may use the same way, however they are still the "good guys", and this is no different.
A whitehat hacker is someone who discovers (or attempts) exploits for good use. OpenBSD users/programmers often tend to be whitehats, although still a large number of FreeBSD users/programmers may be whitehats. In comparision I would say more OpenBSD users/programmers are whitehats.
Often when a whitehat finds an exploit, he often informs people as needed. IE: FreeBSD security mail list, OpenBSD security mail list.
At the same time I would assume more Linux users are blackhats due to the large number of pinhead users while most Windows users tend to know even less and primarily stay out of the "game" (this is no game, like blackhats think it is, you just wait until they come upon a server that does remote logging).
Blackhats are often pinheads who have nothing better to do then attack people to prove how "1337" they are.
