Hello to all my people! This theme
come to expose the right way of an idea that in most cases, the use incorrectly.
When we hear of a "hacker" immediately invade our subconscious, and abrupt disturbing thoughts about that person that enters and infects our computers and steals information.
The case here is that a hacker is a person who enters a given system operates for combeniencia but and cracker.
Here's proof: Concept
Hacker:
" Hacker is a neologism used to refer to an expert (see guru) in various or some technical field related to computer programming, computer networks, operating systems , network hardware / voice, etc. It is often called hacking and hack off the works of a hacker.
The term "hacker" goes beyond the computer-related experts, to also refer to any professional who is on the cusp excellence in their profession, as in the description pure, a hacker is someone who is passionate about knowledge, discover and learn new things and understand their operation.
Richard Stallman quote:
'Hacker, using the English word, means fun with wit [cleverness], use the intelligence to do something difficult. Does not entail working alone or with other necessarily. It is possible in any project. Implies neither do with computers. It can be a hacker of bicycles. For example, a surprise party has the spirit of hack, using the talent to surprise the guest of honor, not to bother. " "
Concept Cracker:
" Someone who violates security of a computer system in a similar way as would a hacker, But unlike the latter, the cracker made intrusion purposes of personal gain or mischief.
The term derives from the phrase "criminal hacker" and was created around 1985 as opposed to the term hacker, in defense of the latter by the misuse of the term.
activity is considered by this kind of cracker is harmful and illegal.
Sometimes the cracking is the only way to make changes to the software that the manufacturer does not provide support, especially when one wants to, or correct defects or export data to new applications in these cases (only in these cases) in most legislation cracking is not considered as illegal activity. Therefore
crackers are feared and criticized by most hackers, by discrediting them is in the public and businesses, are those who use their expertise to disrupt computing processes (Haffner and Markoff, 1995). Can be considered a marginal subset of the community of hackers. "
cites the concept as well, is not a hacker that person encroaching on the privacy of a system, but a cracker to get benefits to the force that it is therefore illegal.
A hacker is simply someone who is skilled in one (s) branch (s) plain and simple.
So when we think of a person who enters into a computer and take advantage of the victim, is a cracker or my opinion, a "hacker infected"
I hope this article will be helpful.
