white hat hacker >> hack for check the security
black hat hacker >> hack for personal benefits , may destroy ur pc

third may be ,brown hat >> depends on mood of person

i think cracker are those which cracks or remove the protection of softwares
and use it illegally ,

but all these people have more mind than other people

we have to respect them , coz of their qualities

have fun

@x69x
there are 2 types of crackers

the term crackers is used for both.
