NO! A cracker is someone who deliberately does damage to computers, a Hacker
is someone who tries to breach the security of a system for the challenge of
it, and is often a useful guide to plugging security holes, esp. when they
are considerate enough to leave a message explaining the security problem.
DONT get the two confused.
