* Wishes from The Author
|
|
*
|
|
* The author wishes many people to use a word `Hacker' and a `Cracker'
|
|
* correctly. This is just a WISH, not obligation, of course.
|
|
*
|
|
* The thought is based on
|
|
*
|
|
* RFC (Request For Comments) 1983 "Internet Users' Glossary",
|
|
*
|
|
* from which the sections about Hacker and Cracker are quoted below.
|
|
*
|
|
* cracker
|
|
* A cracker is an individual who attempts to access computer systems
|
|
* without authorization. These individuals are often malicious, as
|
|
* opposed to hackers, and have many means at their disposal for
|
|
* breaking into a system. See also: hacker, Computer Emergency
|
|
* Response Team, Trojan Horse, virus, worm.
|
|
*
|
|
* hacker
|
|
* A person who delights in having an intimate understanding of the
|
|
* internal workings of a system, computers and computer networks in
|
|
* particular. The term is often misused in a pejorative context,
|
|
* where "cracker" would be the correct term. See also: cracker.
