Why Do Crackers Exist?

Why Do Crackers Exist?

Crackers exist because they must. Because human nature is just so, frequently driven by a
desire to destroy instead of create. No more complex explanation need be given. The only
issue here is what type of cracker we are talking about.
Some crackers crack for profit. These may land on the battlefield, squarely between two
competing companies. Perhaps Company A wants to disable the site of Company B.
There are crackers for hire. They will break into almost any type of system you like, for a
price. Some of these crackers get involved with criminal schemes, such as retrieving lists
of TRW profiles. These are then used to apply for credit cards under the names of those
on the list. Other common pursuits are cell-phone cloning, piracy schemes, and garden-
variety fraud. Other crackers are kids who demonstrate an extraordinary ability to
assimilate highly technical computer knowledge. They may just be getting their kicks at
the expense of their targets.
