US another word for poor WhiteCracker a cookie prepared from wheat flour, shortening, and yeast; it has a bubbly surface and a porous, crisp texture. Crackers, depending on the variety, may also contain added chemical looseners, milk, chocolate, sugar, caraway, and other ingredients. cracker (jargon)An individual who attempts to gain unauthorisedaccess to a computer system. These individuals are oftenmalicious and have many means at their disposal for breakinginto a system. The term was coined ca. 1985 by hackers indefence against journalistic misuse of "hacker". An earlierattempt to establish "worm" in this sense around 1981--82 onUsenet was largely a failure.
Use of both these neologisms reflects a strong revulsionagainst the theft and vandalism perpetrated by cracking rings.The neologism "cracker" in this sense may have been influencednot so much by the term "safe-cracker" as by the non-jargonterm "cracker", which in Middle English meant an obnoxiousperson (e.g., "What cracker is this same that deafs our ears /With this abundance of superfluous breath?" -- Shakespeare'sKing John, Act II, Scene I) and in modern colloquial AmericanEnglish survives as a barely gentler synonym for "whitetrash".
While it is expected that any real hacker will have done someplayful cracking and knows many of the basic techniques,anyone past larval stage is expected to have outgrown thedesire to do so except for immediate practical reasons (forexample, if it's necessary to get around some security inorder to get some work done).
Contrary to widespread myth, cracking does not usually involvesome mysterious leap of hackerly brilliance, but ratherpersistence and the dogged repetition of a handful of fairlywell-known tricks that exploit common weaknesses in thesecurity of target systems. Accordingly, most crackers areonly mediocre hackers.
Thus, there is far less overlap between hackerdom andcrackerdom than the mundane reader misled bysensationalistic journalism might expect. Crackers tend togather in small, tight-knit, very secretive groups that havelittle overlap with the huge, open hacker poly-culture; thoughcrackers often like to describe *themselves* as hackers, mosttrue hackers consider them a separate and lower form of life,little better than virus writers. Ethical considerationsaside, hackers figure that anyone who can't imagine a moreinteresting way to play with their computers than breakinginto someone else's has to be pretty losing.

Because a cracker uses low-level hacker skills to do the cracking, the terms "cracker" and "hacker" have become synonymous with the latter becoming the predominant term. See hacker, ECPA, CFA and virus.
