Actually hacking is the activity of getting into and working inside a 
computer, usually to fix it. However you can hack with criminal intent and 
it's still hacking. Cracking came about as people who hacked but did not want 
to be associated with the criminal activity, started calling it cracking. 
Either one is correct, though one is more descriptive, but less used. (This 
is something some people will start a flame war over.)

Then we got white, gray and black hats etc... Going too far off topic though.
