    Ethics of Hacking

    • 275 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Cracking is the correct concept for deconstructing/sabotaging in the cyberspace/Internet, e.g. by circumventing the security of a website and posting your own (critical) stuff on their site or spreading viruses in the Internet. Hacking, on the other hand, is about using and reconstructing the computer or other machines/systems in a new and (by the "owners" and "inventors") unintended way. Hacking is about reclaiming the system, manipulating it and using it, not destroying it. Both terms define people who can break into computer systems and rewrite programs, but hackers do not use their knowledge offensively or illegally. Crackers use their skills for illegal use: distributing pirated materials, stealing money and identities, etc.…

The first hackers appeared in the nineteen sixties and hackers have continued to make progress since then. People hack for a variety of reasons including ego, fun, knowledge, and profit. The first major hacking program, SATAN, caused controversy in 1995, and numerous hacking programs exist today.
