So, I am a hacker!
What is a hacker anyway?

1) A person who illegally break in or attempts to break into a computer system?

2) Or a person who enjoys exploring the details of computers and how to stretch their capabilities?

If you answered 2, you are right. Hackers, themselves, consider that the proper term for the first option is cracker.

Unfortunately, the pejorative sense of hacker is becoming more prominent largely because the popular press has co opted the term to refer to individuals who gain unauthorized access to computer systems for the purpose of stealing and corrupting data.
