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.

Get the redhat mug.Low intellect, anti-American fascists easily recognized by their tendency to wear red hats with a KKK slogan embroidered on the front. They are a national minority group of pro-crime, pro-Russia, anti-life social rejects and school failures who have banded together to force America to become a nation that aligns with their anti-science, archaic, regressive caveman worldview. Most are low IQ grunt laborers with extreme cases of Dunning-Kruger syndrome. The group is facing short term extinction.
“Redhat fascists have no idea how endangered their families are with these latest anti-American attacks on our nation."

Get the Redhat mug.Rehat is the dreamy guy every girl secretly wants. A charming, attractive, and handsome guy who is shy at first. His personality is unlike any other. He is most likely to be tall, tanned. He is intelligent, and is a smooth talker :) Kind, selfless, caring, and nurturing. Someone you want to spend the rest of my life with. He can be extremely sarcastic and annoying at times though. If you ever get to call a Rehat your friend, consider yourself lucky. A true blessing to all whose hearts are touched by such a perfect person.

No one said adolescence was easy."
