CRACKER X HACKER - original in http://www.tiespecialistas.com.br/2011/08/cracker-x-hacker/


In my last article I explained to you what I mean about hackers and crackers, different as they are in good and bad. Some people questioned me about the two words here and spend a little history and comments.
"CRACKER ... wafer is not and has no taste, an invasion occurs only when there is that we learn of what tastes.
The bitter taste of all that building was destroyed. "
In the Wikipedia definition is as follows:
Cracker is a term used to describe someone who practices the breaking (or cracking) of a security system, illegally or unethically. This term was coined in 1985 by hackers against journalistic use of the term hacker. Use of this reflects the strong revolt against theft and vandalism committed by cracking.
In other words.
He who does the security breach on a system.
In the Wiki also talk about the controversy of the term, but it follows a bit of opinion. Using both neologisms reflects a strong revulsion against the theft and vandalism on the net. 'The neologism "cracker" in this sense may have been influenced by the slang term "cracker," which in Shakespearean English meant an unpleasant person and in modern colloquial American English survives as a synonym for evil delicate called "white trash."
While it is expected that any real hacker has done some raids, with undeniable skill of their techniques, the term "cracker" falls into oblivion and raises "HACKER" the position of the dark side of the Force.
Thus, there is far less overlap between hacker and cracker than regular reader misled by sensationalistic journalism might expect. Crackers tend to gather in small groups, very close and secret but well known in the media due to its disclosure. Though crackers often like to describe themselves as hackers. An easy way to distinguish and detect the difference between hackers and crackers is that crackers use names that hide their identities. Hackers never do this because they rarely use noms de guerre in everything they do, and when they do is to show rather than conceal.
Changing the subject a bit, has anyone thought to ask if the attacks are one more reason to hasten the DIGITAL LAW OF CRIMES IN BRAZIL??
In fact the very attackers know it or ever think about that.
"Hacker" is the malicious security cracker.
It is good just for a story as interesting as this. We would be forever writing it is extremely culture and history is something we can call "NO MATTER THE END BUT THE ACTS"
Whether for the WELL ... Are in the history of information security,
Whether for BAD ... Are in the history of information security,
They are nothing more than history and leverage the IT upgrades in its entirety.
