You need to earn it.. calling yourself a hacker, kids these days have nerves.. now get off my lawn!

historically hacker meant something closer to tinkerer than specifically a security expert. I like this interpretation better.

@lorentz indeed. I liked that interpretation of the word better. I usually think of proper hackers in the MIT sort of way.
The term has evolved to mean something in the sense of ethical and non-ethical infosec practices.
