 * Computer Crackers
 * Encryption

=**Computer Crackers:**= Computer Crackers are people that crack files, serial numbers by using a key gen on free trials of products and then end up getting a full version of that product for free This is illegal and if caught you can end up with a big fine and possibly jail time. So it is best to try to crack files to get a product or game for free because if they wanted to track you they can. An example of a computer cracking would involve downloading a free trail of a product. Then using a key gen to hack the serial number. Another example of computer cracking would be by going to a torrent site and downloading a cracked verision of the product/game and downloading it to your computer. Either way you are hacking in the system by using it and can be in very big trouble for doing such a very bad thing!



=**Encryption:**= Encryption is a way of encoding data. Encryption is also a way of transferring information. Encrytion has been used by the military so the enemy if they would trace the message would not be able to figure what they were saying. Pretty much all encryption is doing is keep your privacy save if its a really confidential message only you and the person that you sent it to. An example of a encrypted message would look something like this. nPZO7yO8lbDbx4w3+Lz0YratQvO37hHG which if you decrypt would say this hey my name is nick. So that is pretty much what encryption is by changing the message to keep it secret.
