Over the past few years, the media has taken it upon itself to use the word
hacker as it pleased and twist it into a new meaning. In my eyes, a hacker
is any person who enjoys exploring different aspects of a computer system
for the sake of knowledge and learning, as opposed to a normal computer user
who only learns the bare necessities to get by.
By saying malicious hacker, I am simply referring to a hacker with
questionable morals. Not all hackers are malicious or criminals, however
some criminals use hacking skills in order to complete their crime.
