If it means Whitehat as in Whitehat hackers, it means people who hack to stop SOB's who hack to screw up systems.

Although it could just be a KKK forum.

Its a group of people myself, john and dan are involved with in regard to our jobs.
Its password protected for fairly obvious reasons.

Its only a stop gap solution, and should be moving on in a few weeks.

well given the nature of the group they are probably army-helmets

I rather fancy myself in a big 10 gallon one although visions of Dav in QP come flooding back which can never be a good thing...
