i don't agree , the difference between hacking and cracking , is that hacking applies to networks (hacking into a server) and cracking to computer programs (such as Reverse code engineering)

So I take it the reactOS project is both?

Seriously, we shouldn't dignify such people with the term Hacker. A hacker builds software that has no malicious use. A cracker goes into networks and computers illegally, builds viri, etc. Such internet scum have no right to hold the title of "hacker". Crackers ruin lives and cause irreparable damage in a lot of cases. May god have mercy on their souls.
