most newbeist question ever?

ok ummm I thought cracking was when u try to get a password. I thought hacking was when U try to find a exploit in a system and use ir, or get around it. How would u crack into a server? Another thinng I was j/w if there were such arcane bug/hole?

[KublaiKhan]

Finding passwords is cracking, yes.

Hacking is generally the exploitation of technology--pushing it to it's limits, etc. Finding exploits--yes, that can be hacking, but only if done legally. Else, it's cracking.

As far as I know, there is no such hole.........not surprising........as 'arcane' means 'not well known'

[Mucolaca]

well i think that it doesn't matter if ur hacking legally or not its still consider hacking. can someone else back me up on this or flame me if I'm wrong?

[RiOtEr]

no noone will back you up cause your blatently but neway yes jave will not let u accses to the harddrive well it well but its the simplest way of putting now i think that their could be holes that alow u into passsword protected areas coded in java but unless the coder is stupid they would use php or somting else cuase jave is sloooow hehe but just my ideas lol

In the case of Virtual Machine, it's specifically designed by Mircosoft, so of course, I'm sure it's 100% secure and exploit free.

Well I'm going to stick to the original topic on this one. A girl I know asked me how to fix her cupholder on her computer. Now I have never heard of a computer having a cupholder. So I went to her house to look at it. It turned out that she thought her cd-rom drive was a cupholder.
