hacking
Hacking is the gaining of access (wanted or unwanted) to a
computer and viewing, copying, or crea:ng data (leaving a trace)
without the inten:on of destroying data or maliciously harming
the computer.
This represents the Good Guys most of the :me for they are the
ones who search for these exploits to prevent crackers use a
method called cracking(opposite of hacking).
Hacking and hackers are commonly mistaken to be the bad guys
most of the :me. Crackers are the ones who screw things over as
far as crea:ng virus, cracks, spyware, and destroying data.

Onewho demonstrates poor or mediocre ability, especially in a
sport: a weekend tennis hacker.
Word History: Computer programmers started using the word hacker in the
1960s as a posi:ve term for a person of skillful programming ability. The usage
probably derives from hack meaning "to chop," or from hacker, "an amateurish
player, as at golf." As :me went on, hacker became less posi:ve, however.
Already in the 1960s, engineering students at such universi:es as Cal Tech used
the related noun hack to mean "an ingenious prank." Among the pranks that
some computer programmers would engage in, of course, were break-ins into
other computer systems. As such break-ins aVracted na:onal aVen:on, the
media seized upon the word hacker as the label for the perpetratorsa usage
that many programmers object to because they know it used to be a term of
praise.
