I couldn't not press the thanks button as long as you've done a detailed guide, probably helpful for many. The thanks is hence for your contribution, to the hackers world and to the hack community. Though, I don't agree with a few things said there.

1. A cracker is a hacker. "Hacker" is a mostly generical term, read again the definition given by Wikipedia. Doesn't a cracker penetrate, exploit vulnerabilities, to crack? Thus, a cracker is an hacker (and not needly a black-hat one).

2. All of that "things that are not hacking", are actually hacking.

3. The very starting part. True thing:

Code:

hacker != cracker hacker != pentester

But just in the same way that true is:

Code:

int != 1

What I mean is, you can't say that a cracker is not a hacker, same for pentesters, but you can't even say they're the same thing, 'cause a hacker might not be a pentester, a hacker might not be a cracker, and still be an hacker.

Cheers.

I've read the definition and I know it, that is why I mentioned cracking is the illegal side of Hacking but still for me Hacking is not Cracking and believe me those methods are not hacking, Why? Read the Hacking definition. But here's the answer for you, Hacker (or Cracker as you say) use tools coded by himself and exploits, cracks etc using them but we are using stuff that others have made which is not even close to Hacking.

The second thing is that the tern Hacking refers to something more complex, Read the book I mentioned. Breaking passes for twitter accounts is not that complex as they don't require Complex, so that’s the second point for that things not being Hacking.

Also I don't say Pentesters are not Hackers, A Hacker would be a complete word to define them all and to be a Hacker you need all the skill but the question is "Do you have alll the skills?" and finally "Are you a Hacker?" That is why I've differentiated between the individuals.

Hacker is a Collective term
