If put this way dat hacking is not bad but actually productive dat it helps cure loopholes in software i.e. u try and hack into sumbody's territory and mean to cause no harm....u r actually trying to hack and then tell the one hacked dat there is sumthing wrong with his software....but u r caught while hacking then obviously ppl r gonna consider u a criminal then u actually get screwed wen u were trying to help....

Analogy: - Hack into my territory, i.e my house, you are a criminal, I feel quite entitled to break your legs, at least, minimum, unless the dogs get you first(my firewall), apparently, we cannot actually kill you here in the UK (against the law). :D
All this talk about hacking , cracking etc, has to be viewed in a historical sense. I have books where hackers are deemed to be hero's in terms of Unix etc, the books are in fact 30 yrs old. Todays kids have to define what they mean by hacking, I'm sure it is a totally different concept from mine. All these words are banndied about, with no idea of what they mean. different things to different people , age groups, practical computer experience,educational computer qualifications etc. If hacking to you means " Breaking into" for whatever reason , then you are a criminal.
Accessing information that is normally restricted, by invitation, request, customer problems, would not be seen by me as "breaking into" or considered hacking, only professional expertise and problem solving. Today's kids have a lot to learn about computers.
