Hackers vs. Crackers

It is very important to separate hackers from crackers.

Hackers have two purposes to study information security.

1. To know computers thoroughly.
We just want to know what can we do with computers. We don't want to hurt people in any ways; we actually want to others be secure.

2. To protect.
We know that this technology can be manipulated. So, we try to figure out how computer networks can be secure.

We, as hackers, are not criminals.

However, crackers are different.

They crack computer software for money.
They do whatever it takes to make money.
They do it for whoever gives money to them.

They, are criminals.

Relentless Hackers.

One of my friends asked me what makes a hacker better than others.

There are some characteristics for hackers.

First and foremost, I would say it is being relentless.

Knowledge is important, so are others.
However, if a hacker is not relentless, he or she is not a hacker.

Be relentless.
Don't give up.

That attitude makes you THE hacker.
