1) Eric Raymond, compiler of The New Hacker's Dictionary, defines a hacker as a clever programmer. A "good hack" is a clever solution to a programming problem and "hacking" is the act of doing it. Raymond lists five possible characteristics that qualify one as a hacker, which we paraphrase here:
- person who enjoys learning details
- of a programming language or system
- A person who enjoys actually doing the programming rather than just theorizing about it
- A person capable of appreciating someone else's hacking
- A person who picks up programming quickly
- A person who is an expert at a particular programming language or system, as in "UNIX hacker
- Raymond deprecates the use of this term for someone who attempts to crack someone else's system or otherwise uses programming or expert knowledge to act maliciously. He prefers the term cracker for this meaning.
2) The term hacker is used in popular media to describe someone who attempts to break into computer systems. Typically, this kind of hacker would be a proficient programmer or engineer with sufficient technical knowledge to understand the weak points in a security system. For more on this usage, see cracker.
Di atas ni a little bit about hacker,hacker ni pun ada sejarahnya seperti berikut: Asal pertama kata "Hacker" sendiri berasal dari sekitar tahun 60-an di Las Vegas. Mereka telah mengadakan sebuah permainan (Game) yang menggunakan sistem jaringan komputer (networking) dimana cara permainan itu adalah dengan berusaha untuk masuk ke sistem komputer lawan (pemain lainya) dan melumpuhkannya. Dari sinilah kemudian orang-orang menamakan sekelompok anak-anak muda yang mengikuti permainanan ini sebagai "Hackers" iaitu sekelompok anak-anak muda yang mampu merosakkan dan melumpuhkan sistem komputer orang."
Note: Para Hacker sejati sebetulnya memiliki kode etika yang pada awalnya diformulasikan dalam buku karya Steven Levy
