Hacker = An individual that has the ability to build and implement a solution to a problem that either the Hacker see or it is seen from others and taking initiative to solve that problem.
Example: In Minecraft, a player wants to find other people's bases on a server, but the problem is that the world is infinite and is hard to determine if the base exist (since it can be located underground).
A player creates and implemented a Mod where they are able to detect bases based on irregularities such as placed enderchest, touches, etc. Once it detects irregularities, there is a chance that a base is nearby. Other Mods may be implemented as an addition to increase that chance to find a player's base
I really dislike the conventional definition of a hacker as a malicious person trained to break systems and do something bad.
In reality, a hacker has a much deeper meaning. It's someone who enjoys taking systems apart, not to cause harm, but on the contrary, to improve them or reverse engineer them to create better versions.
It's also someone who finds a smart approach to complex problems.
So yes, if you're reading this here, there's a good chance you're also a hacker, just like I am. But we're both good, decent human beings with good intentions.
It's a classic term for someone who messes around with computers in any way (or otherwise experiments). That's what it means to me. Obviously has a lot of connotations.
Depende do contexto, Hacker pode se considerar um agente que o objetivo é quebrar, testar(se for etico) sistemas de segurança avançados, os objetivos podem ser Eticos(a propria empresa contrata) ou maliciosos(entrada nao autorizada na Database).
