Hacking has two definitions. “The first definition refers to the hobby/profession of working with computers. The second definition refers to breaking into computer systems. While the first definition is older and is still used by many computer enthusiasts (who refer to cyber-criminals as "crackers"), the second definition is much more commonly used. In particular, the web pages here refer to "hackers" simply because our web-server logs show that everyone who reaches these pages are using the second definition as part of their search criteria”. (Reference: www.iss.net/security_center/advice/.../Hacking/default.htm)
Hackers are therefore good and crackers are bad. Hackers usually strongly condemn crackers.
