Isn’t computer hacking a criminal activity? I don’t recall seeing the results for the latest chop shop contest; safe cracking; most efficient meth lab contest; etc. Just saying.

If someone comes to you and says: "Here, see if you can hack my system". Then you're okay. It's only hacking systems you're not authorized to hack. To play the role of a "White Hat", you need to see what the black hats do, so you guard against it. The White hat will also play the role of a black hat to test his systems safeguards.
