The Total solution for NCERT class 6-12
Differences betweenhackers and crackers are as follows:
Hackers
Crackers
A hacker is a person intensely interested in the arcane and recondite working of any computer operating system.
A cracker is one who breaks into or otherwise violates the system integrity of remote machines with malicious intent.
Hackers obtain advanced knowledge of operating systems and programming languages.
Having gained unauthorised access, crackers destroy vital data, deny legitimate users service, or cause problems for their targets.
Hackers constantly seek further knowledge, freely share what they have discovered and never intentionally damage data.
Crackers can easily be identified because their actions are malicious.
