beg to disagree...cracking is as much art......"application of skills"
involves varying degrees of expertise and
judgement..
in attacks involving ''social engineering" , cracking takes a social
angle..where the cracker uses personal skills to extract information...this
is again an art...whom to approach...what to identify urself as..what to
ask..and then building a picture of the target company/system ..all this
involves a necesary high degree of skill..but applied with artistic hands...
and a good hacker may not be necessarily a good cracker...becoz cracking
requires a different mindset, and point of view...
