Hackers and Crackers
A hacker is a person who stretches the technology using it for purposes
that were not included in the original definition of the technology.
Hacking requires advanced technological skills and is impressive
and innovative.
The term hacker is usually used to describe computer criminals
who are involved in breaking into PCs and networks without authorization.
But it also has a positive side;
it can be used for solving difficult software
problems.
There are many hackers who protest against using this term to describe
negative actions only, and they call hackers that use the technology for
criminal purposes "crackers".
