Hacking is an unauthorized use of computer and network resources. And the term “hacker” originally meant a much gifted programmer. With their capability of easier access to multiple systems, it is now has a negative implication. I read through the various cases of hacking and found out that it became a serious crime in most other countries. But when it is done by request and under a contract between an ethical hacker and an organization, it’s alright.
I got confuse because the term “hacker” has been referred to as a “cracker”. I’ve learned that the basic difference is that hackers build things and crackers break them. Unfortunately, a lot of people confuse the terms “hacker” and “cracker”. And I have searched for a number of reasons for this and the two BIG reasons are: Crackers often call themselves ‘hackers” and the media refers to crackers as hackers. Hackers generally like to think of themselves as an elite group of information seekers who are EXPERT at exploring computer systems and networks.
Hacking into network computer systems is illegal. But hackers believe it is morally acceptable as long as a hacker does NOT commit theft, vandalism or breach any confidentiality, as this is included in the so-called hacker code of ethics. All hackers follow a code of ethics. Those who break into computer systems with wicked intent are known in the hacking world as CRACKERS. For hackers possess a great deal of knowledge of computers and generally write their own hacking programs, while crackers tend to be “young and unskilled”. Crackers do most of their cracking by downloading free hacking software from hacking Web sites. They lack the technical skills of hackers so crackers are considered dangerous because of their irresponsible use of artificial software.
I have read an article over the internet about a news hour interview of a hacker named Lopht Wedge, and he stated “if we can share what we’ve learned with everybody and then publish it, that’s great. With his statement, I have proved that not all hackers somehow aim at making material gains. Many hackers believe it is their responsibility to seek out security holes in computer networks so that systems administrators may fix them and won’t result to bigger chances of defects in the future.
Victor Faur, the person who has been accused of breaking into the computers of some organizations did NOT commit theft. For his action was aim only at proving that several computers are capable of attacks and had not tried to make any material gains. For me, Faur is a hacker, the one in which we referred to as expert and “elite”. He never admitted that he neither modified nor erased the files, nor destroyed the communication systems. In my own view, the only thing he missed to do is that he never done it by request and under a contract between him and the organization. But the act he did, is ethically acceptable for me.
