greyhats

I prefer the term "hacker activists" which can include blackhats, greyhats, and sometimes whitehats that get angry enough that, even if they do not actively participate in an attack, they can provide resources of all sorts.

I distinguish Blackhat and Greyhat along the morality of the act itself, rule breaking for noble cause is grey, and for selfish cause is black.

And you'd be correct. Also a white hat is someone who is usually paid by an org to pen test them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_hat_(computer_security).

If, outside of what they normally apply their hacking abilities to they are participating in this, they are all grey hats on this blessed day

It's Edward Hopper painting characters in grey trench coats all the way down!

Ah my thought just went to the Gandalf epic sax guy in a rendering lab meme, but I’m a child of the internet

Not hacktavists? One of the few portmanteaus that don't drive me crazy :)
