A hacker
is a person intensely interested in the arcane and recondite
workings of any
computer operating system. Most often, hackers are
programmers. As such,
hackers obtain advanced knowledge of operating
systems and programming
languages. They may know of holes within
systems and the reasons for such
holes. Hackers constantly seek
further knowledge, freely share what they have
discovered,
and never, ever intentionally damage data.
A
cracker is a person who breaks into or
otherwise violates the system
integrity of
remote machines, with malicious intent. Crackers, having
gained
unauthorized access, destroy vital data, deny legitimate users
service,
or basically cause problems for their targets. Crackers can easily
be
identified because their actions are malicious.
Pity the media
dont know the difference.
