Serious Hey all, Is Cracking a form of Hacking?

I would say its a type of hacking but some people would beg to differ

I'd go with this, but I'd add in a caveat, what if the Cracker is actively creating tools, custom injection, or emulation;for instance something like steamemu. Perhaps the lines could blur at this stage.

Yes most probs your hacking into someones account

This is a good point, actually. I'll think about this.

I think cracking is not considered hacking because you are not hacking into personal info the should not be shared

Semantics really. Some people make a difference between the two, others dont. I just go with the dictionary def

Gaining unauthorised access to something is hacking as far as I'm aware.

No, cracking is not hacking lol its script kiddie shit. everyone knows that unless you are 10

Why would it be, cracking is a just downloading a file through a torrent. Right?
