Ik moet voor informatica een praktische opdracht maken met als onderwerp: 'Zijn hackers criminelen of idealisten?' Wat vinden jullie hiervan?

Hackers zijn computerspecialisten met het ideaal streven zo veel mogelijk te leren. Het zijn dus in feite idealisten die de computerwereld verbeteren willen.
Er zijn velen die ergens inbreken om de veiligheid van een systeem te verbeteren. Oftewel: als het ze lukt in te breken, mailen ze de administrator met uitleg over de opening die ze gevonden hebben.
Ook is een hacker per definitie niet iemand die ergens inbreekt. Van de Tuxedo Hacker HOWTO:
Citaat:
There is a community, a shared culture, of expert programmers and networking wizards that traces its history back through decades to the first time-sharing minicomputers and the earliest ARPAnet experiments. The members of this culture originated the term `hacker'. Hackers built the Internet. Hackers made the Unix operating system what it is today. Hackers run Usenet. Hackers make the World Wide Web work. If you are part of this culture, if you have contributed to it and other people in it know who you are and call you a hacker, you're a hacker.
The hacker mind-set is not confined to this software-hacker culture. There are people who apply the hacker attitude to other things, like electronics or music -- actually, you can find it at the highest levels of any science or art. Software hackers recognize these kindred spirits elsewhere and may call them "hackers" too -- and some claim that the hacker nature is really independent of the particular medium the hacker works in. But in the rest of this document we will focus on the skills and attitudes of software hackers, and the traditions of the shared culture that originated the term `hacker'.
There is another group of people who loudly call themselves hackers, but aren't. These are people (mainly adolescent males) who get a kick out of breaking into computers and phreaking the phone system. Real hackers call these people `crackers' and want nothing to do with them. Real hackers mostly think crackers are lazy, irresponsible, and not very bright, and object that being able to break security doesn't make you a hacker any more than being able to hotwire cars makes you an automotive engineer. Unfortunately, many journalists and writers have been fooled into using the word `hacker' to describe crackers; this irritates real hackers no end.
The basic difference is this: hackers build things, crackers break them.
