Information Security Officer Interview Question:

Do you know what is the difference between a Black Hat and a White Hat?

This particular question can lead into a major philosophical debate about freedom of information, and if something is implemented in a deliberately broken way it isn't actually breaking into it, etc etc. The one I've heard the most is the classic Jedi example – same tools, different ideologies. Personally, with the people I know that have worked on both sides of the line it comes down to this – the difference between a Black Hat and a White Hat is who is signing the check..
