A cracker is someone who breaks into someone else's computer system, often on a network; bypasses passwords or licenses in computer programs, or in other ways intentionally breaches computer security.
A Cracker is, conversely, people who do all of the things a hacker does (breaking into a system or finding vulnerabilities) with malicious intent. They might destroy or hijack data, deny access to legitimate users or simply cause trouble for them. They may do so simply for the sake of mayhem or for financial or personal gain. The fact that their intentions are not good does not make them any less skilled than their more benign counterparts, making them a formidable threat.
