I want to write this because I had a small debate with my friend. And he said that hacker is a bad person, hacker always do a bad thing, and many more.

At first, I want to clarify about 3 kinds of networker. They are hacker, cracker, and carder. Because in Indonesia hacker has a bad meaning, so I will call hacker with white hacker and cracker with black hacker.

1. Hacker or white hacker
is a personal or a group of people that hack with a POSITIF meaning and looking for the weakness of a security system or a software and rebuild the security system that found(confim the weakness to the owner of system or software). And they want to tell their own identity brightly, there is a real structure of organization and responsibility to their ownself and the organization. And they want to share about their knowledge to public.

2. Cracker or black hacker
is a person or a group of people that hack to their ownself and aim to broke, stole the data or information, manipulate the data, to their benefit, or it just for fun. But they don't want to show their identity to public because they know they are wrong. And they are usually live individually, they don't want to communicate with other.

3. Carder
is a person or a group of people that use many technique in hack to get the data about people's credit card and use it to their ownself.

I think it was the clarification of job at network in my mind....
If you want to add, please comment me, so we can share our knowledge to other,,,

    like i said before...

    there is three type of hacker :
    white hat, grey hat, black hat.

    and the cracker doesn't seem always to be a black hat hacker.

    cracker do "cracking" to the system. some company hire them to make the security of that company become better.

    so, cracker is like a grey hat hacker.
