Hacking is an intellectual and physical task that involves penetrating a system or network. Generally speaking, hacking is the act of accessing a computer system or network.  The practice of hacking is commonly done by black hat hackers, but white hat hackers also engage in the task. Hacking can be done to facilitate criminal acts such as theft, destruction and extortion.
