What is Hacking?Hacking is a process to bypass the security mechanisms of an information system or network.
Or
In common usage, hacker is a generic term for a computer criminal, often with a specific specialty
in computer intrusion. While other definitions peculiar to the computer enthusiast community
exist, they are rarely used in mainstream context. ..
Or
Hacking is an unauthorized use of computer and network resources. (The term "hacker" originally
meant a very gifted programmer. In recent years though, with easier access to multiple systems,
it now has negative implications.)
Defining Hacker :-Hacker is a word that has two meanings:
Traditionally, a hacker is someone who likes to tinker with software or electronic systems.
Hackers enjoy exploring and learning how computer systems operate.
Recently, hacker has taken on a new meaning — someone who maliciously breaks into systems
for personal gains. Technically, these criminals are crackers (criminal hackers). Crackers break
into (crack) systems with malicious intent. They are out for personal gain: fame, profit, and even
revenge. They modify, delete, and steal critical information, often making other people
miserable.
The good-guy (white-hat) hackers don’t like being in the same category as the bad-guy (blackhat)
hackers. (These terms come from Western movies where the good guys wore white cowboy
hats and the bad guys wore black cowboy hats.) Whatever the case, most people give hacker a
negative connotation. Many malicious hackers claim that they don’t cause damage but instead
are altruistically helping others. Yeah, right. Many malicious hackers are electronic thieves.
Hackers (or bad guys) try to compromise computers.
Ethical hackers (or good guys) protect computers against illicit entry.
