don't quote wikipedia in this context. There are hackers and there are crackers. Hackers are good guys (meaning they wear white hats) and crackers are bad guys (black hats).

In fact you are echoing ankit fadia. -- regards KG http://lawgon.livejournal.com Coimbatore LUG rox http://ilugcbe.techstud.org/ -- LUG@IITD - http://lug-iitd.org/Footer
