I dunno, I'd have to go see if the Hacker Test is still valid...
I know there's a Sysadmin Purity Test out there, I think it's somewhere
under satanic.org...

The sysadmin purity can be pretty daunting for a beginner, but it
does have some good questions. There needs to be a couple of more
branches in a few spots, since I can't get through this bit with
simple binary answers.
Have you ever detected a security breach (breakin,
root compromise, or some such)?
As a matter of fact, yes.
--Did you track down the jerk who did it?
Eventually.
--Did you identify him/her?
To me, that's the result of "tracking down".
--Did you sick the FBI on him/her?
No. All they will do is put somebody in prison. I don't like
system crackers to get off that easily.
--Did you get a conviction?
No, I was not convicted. That person will crack no more systems.
--Did the perpetrator kill him/herself in jail out
of remorse?
The perpetrator was not offered the chance.
Yes, I have a mean and vindictive streak.

they'll never be free.
