'HAcking' and 'HAckers' are terms that generally tends to have a negative effect on people.Most people straightway start assosiating hackers with computer criminals or people who cause harm to systems, realease virusus, etc. And I do not balme them for holding such a negative opinion.You see, one trends to accept what is being fed to them. And nowadays the media has wrongly and outrageously referring to computer criminals as 'Hackers'.They fail to recognise that criminals and hackers are two totally distict terms and are assoiated with each other whatoever. Hackers in reality are actually good, pleasant and extemely intelligent people, who by using their knowledge in a constructive manner help organisaions to secure documents and company secrets, help the government to protect national documents of strategic importance and even sometimes help justice tomeet its ends by referring out electronic evidence.
