So this is what blackhat is now...

Hi everyone. I guess the meaning of blackhat has changed a bit. It used to mean "illegal" but now it seems anything that isn't conventional or 100% ethical is blackhat.

I come from a "real" blackhat background, hacking, carding, etc. I retired from all that years ago after seeing too many people get taken down. I'm older now and it just isn't worth the risk to me anymore. This forum fits right into my mindset though: find loopholes in the system and exploit them. I only exploit legal loopholes, but that just means I have to be more creative.

I've been doing web development for a while now. I'm trying to find some side projects outside my full time job to bring in extra cash. I have a few good domains and the ideas to go with them but no content yet. I have limited experience in the affiliate / online marketing niche but I learn quickly.

If anyone is looking to have some custom PHP / mySQL / HTML / CSS / JS done in this market let me know. I'm looking to learn online marketing and the underlying platforms. I'm willing to exchange work for knowledge.

You'll fit in just great around here. Your hacking "kung fu" doesn't need to be a sacred power you only know and don't use. You can use it to make some nice money without hurting anybody, which is what we're all about.

Ah yes, in the true definition of hacker and not the current usage (cracker).

I own an ebook with 2 good domains. I bought full rights to it about 3 years ago and never tried marketing it so I never got any sales. Thanks to what I've found on this site I'm rewriting the book and redesigning the site.
