if it was such then you wouldn't be enjoying Internet today baby. Google for the definition of the term hacker first. Such BS stories give bad name to hackers.

white hat hacker >> hack for check the security
black hat hacker >> hack for personal benefits , may destroy ur pc

third may be ,brown hat >> depends on mood of person

i think cracker are those which cracks or remove the protection of softwares
and use it illegally ,

but all these people have more mind than other people

we have to respect them , coz of their qualities

have fun

hey they always use hacker in bad sense

hackers are computer geeks

bad hackers or crackers do these evil stuffs

Bill Gates was a hacker

This info gives a bad diff b/w a hacker and a cracker!

@x69x
there are 2 types of crackers
software crackers
and hackers who to crack the system security
the term crackers is used for both.
