Go out and ask anyone on the street wether "hacker" is good, or bad.

IMO, ~ 95% will say bad.

Those other 5% will either be hackers themselves, or in the IT field.

Ask them what the difference between a hacker and cracker is, and they won't
be able to tell you.

Buzz words.

As incorrect as they are.
