Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A computer cracker is an outdated term used to describe someone who broke into computer systems, bypassed passwords or licenses in computer programs, or in other ways intentionally breached computer security. Computer crackers were motivated by malicious intent, for profit or just because the challenge is there.
Detailed explanation-2: -That could mean using a cheaply made and illegally copied version. It could also entail using “cracked” software, which someone intentionally tweaked to make it behave in a way not intended by the maker. For example, a cracked version could let someone keep using it after the usual 30-day trial runs out.
