Question 1

Main differences between hacking and cracking (examples)



- Definition and connotation

- Hacking: broad term for exploring, understanding, or modifying computer systems
and networks. It can be ethical (white-hat) when done with permission to improve
security, learn, or innovate.

- Cracking: traditionally refers to breaking or bypassing protections to defeat
security controls, often with illicit intent (e.g., stealing data, bypassing software
protections).



- Intent and legality

- Hacking: may be legal or ethical when authorized (e.g., penetration testing,
security research with consent).

- Cracking: usually illegal or illicit (e.g., breaking into systems without permission,
cracking passwords, defeating software copy protections).
