ah okay now i see. to this other person reply you and others seems to miss the conception of "hack". what you listed barely fits in a hack/modding category. woo save files wow really? thanks for a laugh. when people start to reverse engineer ps3 games, alter maps, skills, weapon damage, gameplay, run pirate games (xbox, ps2, 360, wii) then give me some links
P.S game glitches or bugs arent hacks/mods those are developer problems not user |
I am not saying it's a big Hack...
nor do I classify it as anything Impressive, but Hack it is . you are changing the "save state" of the save file when the Save file has certain parameter's.
IE: you change those said Parameter's to something else that is was not.
example there is many way's to LOOK at what is exactly a Hacker.
Definition (If there is a proper definition at all)
Though we often associate Hacking with criminal activities. Hacking does not always mean breaking into computers.
There are different definitions:
- A person who practice hacking is called a hacker.
- Hacking can be just to find out how it works without criminal intent.
- Hacking can be simply to crack a code
- A hacker can be breaking into a computer that's yours, often not wanted, and now prohibited by law.
Originally Hacking had nothing to do with breaking into one another's computers. It was primarily tinkering away with hardware to make things work. And this strain of hackers are still out there in multitude!
Hacking can also be done to perform reverse engineering of software whereof the source code is lost. Mostly done with legacy or so called "Ben Hur" (old) systems
Hacking also can be cracking a code (Enigma code during WWII, modern spies deciphering secret messages, or just for the fun of the intellectual challenge!)
But, for the general public at least, in the last few decades tinkering away with hardware became equivalent to: gain unauthorized access to a computer. This is how the press and official and may be not so official bodies wants us to believe.
...Or cracking the security coding of satellite TV or copy protection of data media like dongles, CD's, floppies, DVD's etc. This is often called cracking and the person doing that is mostly called a cracker. Mostly activities in that aspect are illegal.
Any more definitions, oh yes. Hacking or Cracking is merely a human trait that is triggered and inherent to our being: our unbridled curiosity. Hide something and you're bound to find someone that wants to find out. Make some complicated machinery or other gadget and someone will find a way to reverse engineer it. Nothing malicious too that. But it is the use you make of your gained knowledge that makes it sometimes illegal.
