I was just curious, why do people hack or like to hack? Like, whats so cool about it? What do you get out of it; dose any one care and do you win like an award or what? This is just a question, to get information on a project paper I'm doing at school. So any ans would be nice

To ask that question here you would get a lot of misleading responses.

I like to Know what you Think Hacking is.
Me myself i do not see Modding systems as Hacking
Hacking to me is like taken over a Site or hit up some guys Pc and killing it etc etc
And for that i think All Hackers should DIE as there is No need for it and they Just do it For fun or to Show Off to there So called friends.

I'm sorry But NO they did Not Hack in any way to get a Xbox Mod
They Modded (aka) Modified files. In no way did they Need to HACK files.
to Many ppl don't Understand what hacking really is, Modified is NOT hacking

yeah i have said something similair to that in one of my rants
hacking is taken to mean anything that you can do to break any security on anything now adays
however, the people who create keygens\break security are actually called crackers (to to be confused with cracka) and some live on teh idealistic notion "everything should be free" others just like to buck the system, still others just want some "fame"
me personally i learned how to make keygens to improve security on my programs, i cracked to learner
and the real true def for a hacker is simply a very knowledgeable person with regards to computers, its just been distorted over the years
technically we are all hackers if we can do what we do with the xbox and psp and such very few of us are "crackers", being able to break encryption is actually a thrilling experience however, being able to take control over a program once bound in security is just reallly cool to do!
but yeah hackers crackers and crackas are widely misused terms if you rember this simple conversion all thoughts seem to make sense.....
hacker = cracker (white boy = cracka)

Why do hackers attack bank accounts and take other information to accomplice what they call, "identity theft"

to get money
I know that, but what the reason, like do they not have a job and thats all they do or are they unemployed and they have to go that far to put some cash in their pocket?

the fact that with just someones name and date of birth you can get a 500$ credit line means that its a quick score, which is what everyone is looking for in the debased world

The word hacker is pretty much a useless word on the internet these days. To get a proper response you will need to tell us which sense you mean, otherwise you will just get some walls of text about different definitions.
Identity theft is exactally what is says, basically pretending to be someone else for your own benefit(not always money, it could be anything).
