Hacking

I know the media has hyped up the word "Hack" and "Hacker" so much and so bad that the true meaning of the words are lost among the masses. But what really ticks me off is that even a lot of people in the industry think I "broke" into a website or some network where I am not supposed to go and got my work done when I say, "I hacked my way around this stubborn problem". Illegally. Yeah, right, if I were a "Black Hat" I wouldn't dare write stuff with my identity so blatantly given away!

So, here's what Hacking means - HACK
And here's what Hacker means - HACKER
And the actual word which stands for "hacking" as people conceive is - CRACKER

I hope this makes a difference. Thank You.
