Most people who know about computers know the real definition of a 'hacker' and a 'cracker', it's just it's simpler to discuss hacking and whatnot by using the terms loosly. At least then everyone can contribute with their views. |

But we're not talking about slang, we are talking about the definitions of a hacker and a cracker. |

Most people call crackers "hackers" because they don't know the definitions of both. |

No one understands you if you post ike that. It's widely known that there's a difference but people just refer to hackers/crakers/whatever as hackers

Hackers aren';t always good, who do you think makes it so you can use pirated versions of software? Hackers ![]() Not all crackers are bad either, I used to do damage through scripts I wrote, now I use them to inform people of their insecure passwords, which isn't bad or illegal
