Who is a Hacker

An Hacking is considered to be a distinct crime by many person but actually hacking is better a form of art. Actually a hacker is a computer geek genius who knows about the computers slightly more than the other people. Hacking is not a crime as though

projected, cracking is a crime. Many people think hacking and cracking is the same thing. Yes in a broader sense they are right, hacking and cracking are the sides of the same coin. Hacking is usually referred to the process or system of changing some short of coding or altering the settings of a program to make it work in a way that we want it to be. But antagonistically cracking is getting into a system with a total intention of obliteration.

Serious hackers are mathematicians and signal processing specialists, often with respectable university degrees. Hackers are quite often pioneers in the technology revolution that encapsulates us, whatever the moral spirit of the story might be. Hackers are often employed by security companies as consultants and analysts.

So, why do the movies always have to portray hackers as rebellious kids with disheveled hair? why do hackers always have to live in a basement, surrounded by tons of senseless gadgets? Why can't they be people like you and me? What's the cardinal difference? It seems rather dull that an entire world of computer users should be congested into a single, bland stereotype. I don’t understand whats wrong with the movies. Actually a hacker could be found sitting on a hi-end desktop or laptop, like me and you, not like movie geeks who are surrounded by lots of screens and coding.
