as well as a Skill. Hacking is the knowledge by which
one gets to achieve his Goals, anyhow, using his Skills and
Power.
v Most people associate
Hacking with breaking law, therefore calling all those guys who engage in
hacking activities
to be criminals. We agree that there are people out

more about following the law and performing the steps within
the
limits.
