zwieback An individual who attempts to gain unauthorised
access to a computer system . These individuals are often
malicious and have many means at their disposal for breaking
into a system . The term was coined ca . 1985 by hackers in
defence against journalistic misuse of "{hacker }". An earlier
attempt to establish "worm " in this sense around 1981 --82 on
Usenet } was largely a failure .
Use of both these neologisms reflects a strong revulsion
against the theft and vandalism perpetrated by cracking rings .
The neologism "cracker " in this sense may have been influenced
not so much by the term "safe -cracker " as by the non -jargon
term "cracker ", which in Middle English meant an obnoxious
person (e .g ., "What cracker is this same that deafs our ears /
With this abundance of superfluous breath ?" -- Shakespeare 's
King John , Act II , Scene I ) and in modern colloquial American
English survives as a barely gentler synonym for "white
trash ".
While it is expected that any real hacker will have done some
playful cracking and knows many of the basic techniques ,
anyone past {larval stage } is expected to have outgrown the
desire to do so except for immediate practical reasons (for
example , if it 's necessary to get around some security in
order to get some work done ).
Contrary to widespread myth , cracking does not usually involve
some mysterious leap of hackerly brilliance , but rather
persistence and the dogged repetition of a handful of fairly
well -known tricks that exploit common weaknesses in the
security of target systems . Accordingly , most crackers are
only mediocre hackers .
Thus , there is far less overlap between hackerdom and
crackerdom than the {mundane } reader misled by
sensationalistic journalism might expect . Crackers tend to
gather in small , tight -knit , very secretive groups that have
little overlap with the huge , open hacker poly -culture ; though
crackers often like to describe *themselves * as hackers , most
true hackers consider them a separate and lower form of life ,
little better than {virus } writers . Ethical considerations
aside , hackers figure that anyone who can 't imagine a more
interesting way to play with their computers than breaking
into someone else 's has to be pretty {losing }.

The neologism “

in this sense may have been influenced not so much by the term “
safe -

as by the non -
jargon term “

While it is expected that any real hacker will have done some playful cracking and knows many of the basic techniques ,
anyone past larval stage is expected to have outgrown the desire to do so except for immediate ,
benign ,
practical reasons (
for example ,
if it '
s necessary to get around some security in order to get some work done ).
Thus ,
there is far less overlap between hackerdom and crackerdom than the mundane reader misled by sensationalistic journalism might expect .
Crackers tend to gather in small ,
tight -
knit ,
very secretive groups that have little overlap with the huge ,
open poly -
culture this lexicon describes ;
though crackers often like to describe themselves as hackers ,
most true hackers consider them a separate and lower form of life .
An easy way for outsiders to spot the difference is that crackers use grandiose screen names that conceal their identities .
Hackers never do this ;
they only rarely use noms de guerre at all ,
and when they do it is for display rather than concealment .
Ethical considerations aside ,
hackers figure that anyone who can '
t imagine a more interesting way to play with their computers than breaking into someone else '
s has to be pretty losing .
Some other reasons crackers are looked down on are discussed in the entries on cracking and phreaking .
