n. (Hacker Lingo) Hacker who uses his or her skills for malicious purposes and/or personal gain. Defacing websites, writing viruses, stealing personal information, and booting people off chat programs are all considered blackhat activities.
The blackhat is loathed by many in the hacker culture, who prefer the chivalrous vigilanteism of the whitehat to the blackhat's destructive and selfish tendencies. However, blackhats generally do deserve respect for their remarkable abilities - the exception of course being the script kiddie.

Phrase from the comedy classic, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Because of its relatively obscure nature, it is most often used among geeks and hackers. When someone uses this phrase, it is customary for anyone in earshot to point their index finger upward and wave it like a flag in a circular motion, coupled with a very insincere "yaay" - another reference to the original scene.

AKA sp0rkeh.
A computer virus that masquerades as a hack for the game Counter-Strike, often used by members of myg0t. Among other things, Sporkeh changes window text to a l33t derivative of "sporkeh owns you," switches screen relolution to 640x480, switches right-click and left-click on your mouse, slows the mouse cursor to a crawl, and prevents any EXE files from being run.
