No. Hackers don't break into computer systems. Those are crackers.

The basic difference is this: hackers build things, crackers break them.

Hackers solve problems and build things, and they believe in freedom and voluntary mutual help. To be accepted as a hacker, you have to behave as though you have this kind of attitude yourself. And to behave as though you have the attitude, you have to really believe the attitude.

Freedom is good.
