Hack
1. To program a computer in a clever, virtuosic, and wizardly manner. Ordinary computer jockeys
merely write programs; hacking is the domain of digital poets. Hacking is a subtle and arguably
mystical art, equal parts wit and technical ability, that is rarely appreciated by non-hackers.
See hacker.
2. To break into computer systems with malicious intent. This sense of the term is the one that
is most commonly heard in the media, although sense 1 is much more faithful to its original
meaning. Contrary to popular misconception, this sort of hacking rarely requires cleverness or
exceptional technical ability; most so-called "black hat" hackers rely on brute force techniques
or exploit known weaknesses and the incompetence of system administrators.
