Hackers versus Crackers - How Hackers Work?

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Originally known as a highly skilled professional in the field of computer technology and programming languages, the term hacker acquired a pejorative meaning due to the mass-media which often used the term to describe the unauthorized access to computer systems of an individual with intricate computer knowledge, in order to steal personal or financial data. However, the hackers themselves state that the negative connotation tagged to term hacker is unfair, pointing to a more accurate term cracker. Learn more about hackers, their history, activities and social impact in this book.
