Hacker is the transliteration of "cracker", which means "destroyer". What these people do is more to crack commercial software, maliciously invade other people's websites and cause losses.

Hackers have the same skills as hackers, but there are some differences in how they act. This is one of the reasons why it is often difficult for people to distinguish hackers from hackers.

In fact, whether it is a hacker or a hacker, the name is just a code name. It should be said that there is no absolute boundary between them. Hackers and hackers are both illegal intruders. Since it is an illegal intrusion , it is meaningless to distinguish between good intentions and malicious intentions.

1-3: What does it mean to be a hacker

First of all, a hacker does not call himself a hacker. If he calls himself a hacker, or even takes a name related to a hacker, he will be attacked. The mockery of a true hacker. In the hacker circle, you can only be considered a hacker if you are accepted by other hackers and recognized by other hackers.

Secondly, you should have a certain degree of creativity. A person who just takes hacking software written by hacker predecessors and tries it everywhere, but is helpless once a problem occurs, can never be called a hacker.

In addition, a hacker should also have the spirit and behavior of a hacker, and be able to integrate into the hacker culture naturally formed by hackers. Of course, the most important thing is: you must have the skills that a hacker should have, and you must be a technical expert. He is also passionate about solving problems and can help others for free.
