Who's a Hacker and who's a Cracker?

"The police arrested the man who intruded through the border"- Nobody will be there who hasn't seen such a news.Anyone who comes from a country to
another country without proper details is an intruder. Likewise the ones who intrude into other's computer or a computer network is known as HACKERS.
CRACKERS are also the ones who intrude into the commputer. It is not necessary that all the intruders have to be dangerous. The no-dangerous computer
intruders are simply called Hackers. An original hacker is not supposed to be getting into someone else's computer and creating a mess in it and there by destroying
the system. The ones who finds out how a computer network works and also finds out the loop hholes in the network and fixing the problem is really known
as 'Hackers'.
At the same time , there are dangerous intruders into the computer. They are called Crackers. They do terrible things to other's computers. They sends dangerous
programs including different kinds of viruses to other's systems, get into the privacies of other people int he computer networks, intrudeing into websites of other
companies . The works done by Crackers are known as Cracking.Big big companies appoints Hackers for the protection of their compouter networks. They are the
securities of the computer networks. Their jobs are to defend other harmful viruses from entering the computers and much more. Hackers also finds out the
errors in the computer networks and also finds out ways to solve the error in the network.Oftently Crackers use the programs created by the Hackers for the
protection of the computer networks a stheir weapond. Hackers are able to know most of theproblems in the computer networks. Think what if Crackers gets
those details. It will be just like a theif getting a key of a locker.
Didn't you understand the difference between the Hacker and the Cracker now? But today the term Cracker is very rarely used . Today the ones who does good
and bad things to the computer is known as a Hacker. Eventhough Crackers do all the Internet thefts, it is said as the theft done by Hacker.There is a name for the hackers who always
