Hacking involves unauthorized access to computer systems. It is done by hackers, who have an in-depth knowledge of computers and programming. While hacking can sometimes help recover lost information, it is usually illegal and can harm privacy or destroy work. To prevent hacking, firewalls are used to limit unauthorized access to networks and computer activities. Though hackers have innovative skills, hacking should not enable criminal plans or harm others.

server finds out that you have been hacking. Then,
you could get chucked off the gaming
server so watch out!

9. Hacking VS. Firewall
Hacking is an unauthorized access to the computer system
done by a hacker. In order to prevent it from happening, we

11. Conclusion
Hackers are just people with innovative spirits and an in-depth
knowledge of technology. Hackers aren't necessarily criminals,
though as long as crime has the potential to pay, there will always be
some criminals who are hackers. There's nothing wrong with the
hacker knowledge itself, despite its potential applications.
Therefore, do whatever you like as long as you didn’t make
other people suffered and devastated on your own action.
