Well, the media has popularized the term 'Hacker' as having bad connotations. Some people hold that the original term was one of more respect than disgust, and that Hacking originally meant a really neat techical action.
In order to distinguish this from the 'bad' people, (I.E.: Computer Criminals) there is a push to get the word Cracker accepted as the in-the-media word for the criminal hackers, the bad guys.
So, depending on who you ask, a hacker isn't a bad person, a criminal, a cracker is. Both are good with computers
That was a good way of putting Terr, and yes, learning HTML would be great, also learning shell programming with Perl. Start there for sure. Also, if you dont have one, I would reccomend getting a Linux box.

First you need some golf clubs...and a golf ball...and a golf course to play on.
You place the ball on a tee. Then swing the club at the ball. This is your first hack. Continue to swing at the ball until it goes into the hole. Repeat for each hole on course. Hackers that swing less than 80 time in 18 holes are considered 3l3t3 h4ck3rs.
i been checkin' out alotta sites...its helpin....thanks
btw...where can i get a Linux box?? where can i learn that perl shell programming thing?? do u kno any places such as stores that sell books/manuals about hacking?
so cracking is "criminal-hacking", thus the name "cracking", right? i get'cha...
thanks
After reading the HH Guides to (Mostly) Harmless Hacking, I would suggest Hacking Exposed: Network Security Secrets and Solutions (2nd ed). It contains most of the more common exploits and ways to patch them, and is superb at simply giving you an idea of what is possible and what kind of problems / opportunities to look out for.
