But as they get older, they realize it has turned into an addiction. The definition of a hacker according to the New Hacker’s Dictionary, “a person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities.” The Internet is seen as just another playing field where the “Hackers regard hacking as a game in which their mind is up against that of the system designers”. The Internet allows the hackers to take files, programs, passwords, and other information from users that are using it. They use this as a tool to make it easier to beat "the system". (New Hacker’s Dictionary) There are three major types of hackers, one with good intentions who often are not recognized due to the bad reputation of others, there are the hackers with bad intentions, and there are the hackers that fit in between. The bad hacker category is the largest by far. As stated in Computer Hacking and Ethics “A bad hacker's motives are to punish someone or retaliate against the owner of a computer system.” Computer terrorists fall under this category.
