Nowadays technology has become parts of our lives.Everything we do have technology.Technology meaning are very wide but in this post we will talk about computer technology. Improvements come to us to give benefits but there are negative effects also ig technology being used not in proper way.There are two main character to be introduce that are Hackers and Crackers. Below shows the different between those two.
CRACKERS
A cracker is a person who attempts to break into a system by guessing or cracking passwords, by brute force. Most crackers are youth who are very malicious and get their laughs by destroying or changing the files on a computer system, and planting viruses that destroy or alter the functioning of a computer. Usually the cracker has very low knowledge of computer systems and their inner workings
HACKERSHackers are different, They usually very knowledgeable, usually knowing several programming languages, and are able to use a wide variety of operating systems efficiently. Hackers keep up-to-date on security related issues involving computers, and generally have a firm understanding of the more technical aspects such as TCP/IP protocols.For hackers, penetrating a system is a thrill, a challenge that excites the hacker. The hacker enjoys exploring the system inside and out, searching for misconfiguration, bugs, and holes that would allow him to break in. Once the hacker has broken in, it is against the hacker’s ethics to alter any data other than the logs to clear his tracks. The hacker has no desire to alter or destroy the data on a machine, his only desire is to learn more, hacking more difficult systems, and learning more about the operating systems, and files on the machines. After a system is hacked, the system administrator should be notified about any security breaches the hacker encounters. And finally, he should treat a hacked system as if it was his own, and hack only to gain knowledge, not to cause harm
- Now we can see the different between those two.But how two treat this two group.Of course hackers will get good place to everybody but how about crackers.Actually crackers have talents and should be used properly.Effective organization or country should provide proper programs to transform crackers into hackers. The program should add crackers with better knowledge and ethics that must be followed by every computer users.
