I really don't quote wikipedia as a reliable source but this is what it have to say about it. From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_hat_%28computer_security%29 "The term "white hat" in computing slang refers to an ethical **hacker**, a penetration tester, a **cracker** or a "security consultant".[1] **White-hat hackers** are computer security experts, who specialize in penetration testing and in other testing methodologies to ensure the security of an organization's information systems. **White-hat hackers** are also called "sneakers"[2], red teams, or tiger teams[3]."
