Hacking – unauthorized use of computer and network recourses

Abstract

The terms 'hacker', 'cracker' and 'script kiddie' are often used on the Internet and other media, although people in the information security field prefer to divide hackers into whites and blacks. Finally, all these terms are subjective, depend on the involvement of the person using them in one group or another, and can provoke long disputes about who is actually a "black" and who is a "white" hacker.
