Much like using CSS "Hacks" to get browsers to do something that was not intended by the original designers. On the other hand, my understanding of "cracking" means to "crack" some type of encryption. Thus, the reason why I did not say "cracking the site" instead of "hacking the site".Cracking is not just about encryption. It's about bypassing any kind of measure put in place to prevent someone from doing something. Hacking on the other hand does not embody this principle, although hacking may be employed to achieve cracking. Just because pop culture is completely ignorant to the difference, doesn't mean you as a member of the community need to jump on board and bleat like a sheep. If you intend to misuse hacker, then you should at least provide more detail such as white-, grey-, or black-hat. Cheers, Rob.
