This book attempts to take a novel approach to the
presentation and understanding of a controversial
topic in modern-day society: hacking versus cracking.
The perception of this bimodal activity is as
controversial as the process itself—with many in society
confusing the positive attributes of hackers
with the criminal activities of crackers.This dictionary tries
to balance the two sides of the equation:
the White Hat or the positive side of hacking with the
Black Hat or the negative side of cracking.
This dictionary is written for general readers,students
who want to learn about hackers and crack-
ers,and business leaders who want to become more
knowledgeable about the IT security field to keep
their enterprises financially stable and to be proactive
against intrusive cyber-attackers.
