For me hacking is to be able to access the resources of a remote computer without its owner allowing you. You may be sitting in your home and accessing your friend's computer via internet and doining all sorts of thingz on his computer . I consider this to be hacking power.Whether you are doing something good or bad on his computer does not matter. Hacking is just that you are able to access his computer from your home without letting him know. This is just the begining of hacking . More advanced thingz include getting access to remote servers and websites and running your own commands on them . Many people may not agree with this defination of hacking . This is just what i consider a hacker to be. < CRACKING > I consider cracking to be a process of modifying a software which was not made by you.This modification is done mainly to remove any time limit or any other kind of restriction on the features of the software. Suppose U have a software's demo which works only for 10 days. You modify its code to remove the time limit such that the demo will keep working forever. This is what i call cracking . As you have modified the demo's .exe file to remove the time limit code, you have the full version. Now if you try to sell the full version ( which you got as a demo ) its really illegal. You didn't made that software yourself , so you dont have any right to sell it. Even if you are able to crack a software , please never try to sell the cracked version. If ur caught , u will be in jail for the rest of your life. Cracking is to make a software do what YOU want , instead of what the programmer wanted it to do . Cracking requires the use of some softwares and knowledge of assembly language. For more on cracking u can read my tutorial on basics of cracking < PHREAKING > This is the topic i am trying to learn.It refers to hacking an electronic device. The word phreaking is specially used for hacking phones. Maybe if u are successful in phreaking then you will make your phone work the way you want it to.For newbies phreaking is just limited to using their phone without any bills . You can modify your phone so that the calls are not credited to your account. Maybe this also requires knowledge of hardware. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------KNOWLEDGE-IIS-POWER-------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------H-A-C-K--E-R-Z---------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
