Message: [QUOTE="jeffd, post: 155438, member: 18789"] I do have to jump on the "hacker" vs. "cracker" terminology.... Hackers have been given a bad name by the press and the freaks that practice "hactivism" and site defacement. Hacking (and real hackers will testify) is a science and a passion for those that want to know how things work and is not malicious in its' intent. Crackers, on the other hand are scum that break things and deface web sites. For more clarification on the differences between these terms please read "Hack Proofing your Network" by Internet TradeCraft. As for the Crackers and malicious hacker-wannabe-script-kiddies out there breaking and defacing sites for kicks... I am with TwinSpar - It is difficult to identify a corpse if all that is left is a fine pink mist. :p -jeffd [/QUOTE]
