White Hat

A hacker with benign intentions. For example, if a hacker encounters a security hole and the first thing he or she does is explain the problem to the people who run the system that allows the security hole--without letting the knowledge out publicly--that hacker would be described as a white hat hacker. This term comes from old cowboy movies where the good guy wore a white hat.
