Usually a deny-list or a block-list.
These are the inclusive terms that are getting adopted in IT, at least, and they usually work in that context. Maybe not for everything.
So what the heck are we calling "Grey-hats" now?
Edit: not to mention the other two hat terms
At my company, white hat hackers are to be called "offensive security researchers". Black hat hackers are to be called "attackers".
Don't forget about the whole master/slave thing or how often programmers kill children.
I think grey still is acceptable, at least until the martians start demanding equal rights.
I think terms like “legal grey area” don’t have the same connotations as black/white do, because “grey” isn’t really used as an adjective for a person.
I still refer to our oldschool Linux admins as greybeards. I think that’s okay because there’s like 5 oldschool female Linux admins in the world and they are chill as hell.
