Hackers vs. Crackers

I'm sure you've wanted to know the difference between a Hacker and a Cracker. I've heard alot of things in the Media saying that Hackers are bad people. That is totally BS. Hackers are good, it's the crackers or "Script kiddies" that are bad. Hackers believe it or not, help protect you even more, and your computer. Why? Hackers can learn and find holes and then fix them. Hackers usually help you NOT hurt you. The media looks at hackers as bad people, but it's the Crackers that are. The Crackers are the people that want to break into your computer not the Hackers. See, Crackers or "Script Kiddies" are people that try to crack there way into your computer and to find exploits and then do damage. Hackers do the opposite in lots of cases. So next time you hear the media bring up that Hackers are bad, there not it's the Crackers. In fact some hackers what they call "White Hat" hackers actually do try to get into your computer but you give them permission and then they tell you what you need to do or fix, if they can get through. Usually you don't do that because well, it's too expensive. I just thought I'd bring this up since I heard this recently in the News. For More Information check out this Article
