Re: Hacking?

said by stomas3:
no you are not a hacker if given the info or if you social engineering someone... A hacker is some one who will take something apart and see how it works. ... before you start throwing around the word hacker to every criminal first know what a hacker is and does.

You're fighting a losing battle (hacker vs cracker). The term "hacker" has been re-defined, at least for the general public, and we can't change it back. I do know the difference that you're alluding to though. Yes, in geek-speek, these guys are crackers, not hackers.
