Cyber Activism
What is Cyber Activism?, well it's not
being a Hacker or Cracker.
Let's start by explaining what a Hacker is, and also what a Cracker is;
A Hacker - is someone who maliciously breaks or tampers with
things, with the goal of making them cease functioning. For example, the
flooding techniques and malicious scripts used by Hackers to stop or
interfere with the functioning of computer equipment. The most noticeable
difference between a Hacker and a Cracker is that, the Hacker is not
necessarily tiring to gain access or to steal anything, merely to disrupt
and damage private property.
A Cracker - is someone who employees electronic means to gain
access and to even embezzle, information, services or access to forbidden
areas. Lengthy study and practice enables Crackers to find weakness in
online systems, with intent to breach the security and profit or gain in
some way by their actions.
A Cyber Activist - is none of these things previously mentioned.
Quite simply a Cyber Activist is merely a description for the method of
his/hers form of activism. Through the use of electronic media and
communications, Cyber Activists attempt to be heard through e-mails, web
sites, data and online communities working cohesively or independently to
achieve social change.
