    When you think of security, it's a good bet that some of your thinking drifts to hackers and crackers. These are both security threats that you have to take into account. But do you know the difference? Well, some people do, and although many of them don't want their names bandied about, as is the case with the author of this tip, they can tell us much about the shadowy hacker community, and other security threats as well. This tip defines the difference between hackers and crackers, and discusses some simple things they can do to get inside your systems.

    In short, Hacking is for good and Cracking is for bad. Hacking may be legal, cracking is illegal.

    Who's superior? Well that depends on the definition of superior. Technically, hacking and cracking needs root deep level of understanding of systems.

    No need to learn any language

    All it requires one thing

    "You must be a expert of computer system and should be able to identify vulnerabilities ,security holes and bugs "

    The only thing needed to be a hacker/cracker is strong passion towards computer systems and operating system. Also ability to think unconventionally will come very handy if you wish to excel at it. I believe self-study beats everything.

    Hacker is someone who does security works on the network or you can say hacker is legal for ethical hacking whereas crackers are those who breaks the security system and enter that security system illegally ..
