El cracker es
una figura emparentada con el hacker. Su conducta va dirigida al acceso a
sistemas informáticos de forma no autorizada, del mismo modo que los hackers, y
con una finalidad clara: menoscabar la integridad, la disponibilidad y el
acceso a la información disponible en dicho sitio web o en el sistema
informático.
El desarrollo
de esta actividad implica que se está cometiendo un acto delictivo, violándose
la intimidad del afectado, la confidencialidad de la información y,
específicamente en el caso del cracking, por el hecho de haber causado daños,
cambios y/o destrucción de información así como por haber inhabilitado soportes
físicos como puedan ser: servidores, discos duros, etc.

Experto en
seguridad, en general o en detalles muy concretos, que utiliza sus
conocimientos con ánimo de sobrepasar la seguridad de los sistemas de
información y alcanzar sus propios propósitos sin el consentimiento de los
auténticos propietarios.
(I) Someone who
tries to break the security of, and gain unauthorized access to, someone else's
system, often with malicious intent. (See: adversary, intruder, packet monkey,
script kiddy. Compare: hacker.) [RFC4949:2007]
A malicious
hacker who uses their skills to do bad things.

A black hat (also
called a cracker or Darkside hacker) is a malicious or criminal hacker. This
term is seldom used outside of the security industry and by some modern
programmers. The general public uses the term hacker to refer to the same
thing. In computer jargon the meaning of "hacker" can be much
broader. The name comes from the opposite of White Hat hackers.
Usually a Black
Hat is a person who uses their knowledge of vulnerabilities and exploits for
private gain, rather than revealing them either to the general public or the
manufacturer for correction. Many Black Hats promote individual freedom and
accessibility over privacy and security[citation needed]. Black Hats may seek
to expand holes in systems; any attempts made to patch software are generally
done to prevent others from also compromising a system they have already
obtained secure control over. A Black Hat hacker may have access to 0-day
exploits (private software that exploits security vulnerabilities; 0-day
exploits have not been distributed to the public). In the most extreme cases,
Black Hats may work to cause damage maliciously, and/or make threats to do so
as blackmail.
Black-hat hacking
is the act of compromising the security of a system without permission from an
authorized party, usually with the intent of accessing computers connected to
the network (the somewhat similar activity of defeating copy prevention devices
in software - which may or may not be legal depending on the laws of the given
country - is actually software cracking). The term cracker was coined by
Richard Stallman to provide an alternative to using the existing word hacker
for this meaning. Use of the term "cracker" is mostly limited (as is
"black hat") to some areas of the computer and security field and
even there is considered controversial. A definition of a group that calls
themselves hackers refers to "a group that consists of skilled computer
enthusiasts". The other, and more common usage, refers to those who
attempt to gain unauthorized access to computer systems. Many members of the
first group attempt to convince people that intruders should be called crackers
rather than hackers, but the common usage remains ingrained.

Black hat is used
to describe a hacker (or, if you prefer, cracker) who breaks into a computer
system or network with malicious intent. Unlike a white hat hacker, the black
hat hacker takes advantage of the break-in, perhaps destroying files or
stealing data for some future purpose. The black hat hacker may also make the
exploit known to other hackers and/or the public without notifying the victim.
This gives others the opportunity to exploit the vulnerability before the
organization is able to secure it.

A cracker is
either a piece of software (program) whose purpose is to 'crack' the code to,
say, a password; or 'cracker' refers to a person who attempts to gain
unauthorised access to a computer system. Such persons are usually ill
intentioned and perform malicious acts of techno-crime and vandalism.
