Why so much venom against white hats, the hackers who ostensibly break software in order to help make the Internet safer? The el8 zines don't clearly spell out the group's motivations, but Project Mayhem appears to be a violent incarnation of the "anti-sec" movement, a campaign to persuade hackers not to publish information about the security bugs they uncover.

Look out white hats, the black hats are angry.  There's an interesting thread going on over on the Full Disclosure list (which was established after Bugtraq fell into corporate hands) taking some of the greyer hats of the security industry to task for getting pimped by the industry.  This backlash has been bubbling for a few years, but it looks like its full throttle now.  So far, the backlashers have hit Theo Deraadt, Ryan Russell, Dug Song, amongst others.  These happenings are very interesting coming on the heels of Gweed's H2K2 outburst.
