What is the ratio of white hat hackers to black hat hackers?
"...there is no ratio because the white peoples are just the same as the black people because there both hat hackers because they hack into peoples stuffs..." - crap answer!!! In proper english: The ratio to black hat and white hat hackers can not be determined. White hat hackers are employed by companies to test and develop ways to improve defence on a company network/system. Black hat hackers are those that hack for fun and for personal profit such as hacking into a facebook profile or hacking into a bank to embezzle funds. Many white hat hackers are past black hat hackers that have become famous for hacking, so employers want them to test the defence and improve their system, so would these black hat or white hat?? White hat hackers and black hat hackers are divided by a very thin line and so it is very hard to determine which hacker belongs to which group. Also, Black hat hackers are performing illegal acts breaking the codes of the computer misuse act. Because of this, they will lurk in shadows and may not freely admit to being a hacker. Therefore, it is unknown how many black hat hackers there are and so it can not be put into ratio. I like the correction above, One rule for 'white hatters' regards the use of correct spelling and punctuation ... vital for good code! So one might consider the first respondant above to be at least a 'grey hatter' but certainly not a 'white hatter'. Personnaly I think that in addition to the correction above this determination must consider the overall security of the web; in doing so we could see who is 'ruling' at that particular time and posibly, therefore determine, where the majority strength lies if not the actual numbers.
