A hacker is a person who creates and modifies computer software and computer hardware, including computer programming, administration, and security-related items.\n\nIn computer programming, a hacker is a programmer who hacks or reaches a goal by employing a series of modifications to exploit or extend existing code or resources. For some, hacker has a negative connotation and refers to a person who "hacks" or uses kludges to accomplish programming tasks that are ugly, inelegant, and inefficient. The negative form of the noun "hack" is even used among users of the positive sense of "hacker".\n\nIn computer security, a hacker is a person able to exploit a system or gain unauthorized access through skill and tactics\n----- Wikipedia -----\n\nIn my own words, why do they do it? to test security and for fun.

Because anyone have hacked (cracked) your password,its many way to hack a password exemple:\nIts 9 way to hack your email,but all methods its illegal,so don t try it!\n\n1-First and easy is to retrieve your personal information,like birthday date,and others personal info,(its easy if you use a chat) then the hacker simple go in a option of email "forgot the password?"and put the information about you in the answer fields,+ secret answere,so if the secret answere is "what is your pet name?" the hacker can ask you on a normal discussion if you have a pet or someting ele and the name of him,then use this information to answere at the secret answere,and the password is ghiven from the server.\n\n2-If anyone have access to your computer ,he can simply install a keylogger on your computer,its a simply software ,this software record all you type with your keyboard and its undetectable. \n\n3-Need Just a simple password recovery software,he can install it on your pc,is undetectable and this software can automatic decrypt password in the coockies installed in your pc, in special if you have messenger installed \n\n4-Simple backdoor installed on your pc,like subseven or netbus,or anothers software like password senders these software send automatic all password and information on hacker email or direct to the backdoor client in real time. \n\n5-Exploit ,its very difficoult to use an exploit,and the server must have a bug to try this hack method,but is not impossible.\n\n6-Use Brute force software,these software simply use a dictionary and try in automatic mutch passwords to log in your e-mail account \n\n7-Fake Login screen,its a fake page like your original mail login screen,but is not your real page,and is not on the email server,its only a fake page builded by hacker like the original e-mail page login,and if you put your \n\npassword & id in the fields...the password will be send in automatic in the hacker email,and you redirect to the real yahoo page login screen or another website,greeting card etc.. \n\n8-Hack the database of the server email.\n\n9-Just use a trick like this:"Send an email to the Y!mail router server (new addy is here). You send it a letter and usually it will send you on back in less than 24 hours (unless there is high traffic on the Yahoo mail server of course). \nSend a letter to pwd_password_recovery@hacker.c... within the Subject heading place the word "Password router" (not in quotes but has to have a capital P) this way the automated router recognizes your search. Then in the first line of the text field type "password retrieval". Place the name of the yahoo \naccount you want to retrieve that password for into the second line (Do not put @yahoo.com after the ID). In the next line put "Rtrv User; 6391, #1" (the commands for the robot \n, processing the mail). Finally, type "Reply-to: " and your e-mail address and password, separated by a semicolon so that the router recognizes it and can send you the mail answering your request. Here is an example:\n\nTo: password_recovery@hacker.com\nbcc:\ncc:\nSubject: Password router\n\npassword retrieval\nID you want to retrieve password for\nRtrv User; 6391, #1\nReply-to: myemail@yahoo.com:mypassword\n\nThat's all.\n"\nTHIS IS NOT E VERY HACK METHOD,but if you try to hack anyone and you try this method,you will be hacked by this hacker with email password_recovery@hacker.com,t... is not a robot,but is a real email from an hacker!with this method you just send your email and password to another hacker..!so dont beleave in this method!\nSO WHAT YOU TINK?YOU ARE REALLY SAFE?\nIF YOU WANT SEE HOW MUTCH RESOURCES HAVE AN HACKER & WHAT CAN HE DO JUST LOOK AT THIS SITE\nhttp://yacam.altervista.org

I used to think hacking was cool after I watched the movie Hackers, but now I think its a load of rubbish. Half the hackers I have encountered in my life are really boring people who lack creativity, and most of them are just wannabe hackers who give the impression that they know allot about computers to lay people but who in fact know very little. There are such things as ethical hackers but they are just an ideal glorified in the movies and in reality they are few and far betwean. Most hackers are insincear little morans who make friends with people and use social engineering to obtain passwords or to encourage people to accept their files (like through yahoo messenger) pretending they are photos - when in fact they are little trojans. Many hackers just vandelise and destroy others computers, or simply moniter their activitys on the computer. Hackers are really little whimps who feel like gods who are totally in control on their computers.

Hacking is derived from MIT slang for a prank. Hacking is using a computer program often illegally to change the operation of software. This often allows you to gain access to a classified site such as the Department of Defence. Depending on what you do, it can be a serious offence punishable by jail time. Illegal hackers are often called black hat hackers.

hacking is a way of getting some info that you're not supposed to be seeing.\ndont bother hacking emails! the programs out there that say they can hack emails are probably viruses or trojans made by other hackers to hack your computer.never open any of the files u dl from warez sites and such.

if you have to ask how to do it then you shouldn't even attempt it. If you don't know what you're doing then you will open yourself up to a whole new host of attacks.\n\nContact your ISP and let them know what is happening. This is your best bet.\n\nBTW - there are hackers out there who do exactly what you are asking - that is attack malicious hackers in hour defense. They are called "gray hat" hackers\n\ngood luck to you

Congratulations! You have a hacker in your computer.\nIF he allows you to use it at all, it will cost around $100 to get rid of him.

Most people would consider a hacker someone who illegally "hacks" into a computer network or system and most likely does something to cause havoc.  \n\nIn the programming community, the person described above would most likely be referred to as a "cracker". \n\nAmong programmers and computer people, a hacker is a member of an elite group of extremely talented computer programmers.\n\nThere is nothing inherently dishonest about being able to hack.\nCracking is  using hacking skills for nefarious or illegal purposes.\n\nAlley

This is on an employers network? If so I dont think its a hacker. I would be more inclined to believe it is someone you work with. Maybe the administrator of the network! They are probably watchin you or your friend!

Hacking requires many skills, Some of which are spelling, counting, cryptography and a full understanding of some very boring transport protocols. Its not fun or easy and it certainly not for you.

It largely depends on the type of hacking they intend to use. Computers are so secure these days especially servers that you can't really choose a victim, it's all opportunity. Then again I'm against the art (yes it's an art) and feel obliged to advise you against doing such a thing because you WILL get caught, however if its just for learning I advise you get knoppix std since its got laods of handy tools and it's free :)

Hacking would involve breaking in without permission.  Since you had permission to use the PC then you can't be hacking it.

Well why do some people enjoy stealing? It's pretty much the same thing! Why should I pay for something when I can hack it to work?\nIf you're refering to those that hack into govermental websites to substract secret documents, or fake something, they are not doing this just for the fun of getting caught!
