Abstract or Description

Hacking emerged in the 1960s at university computer science laboratories in the United States where researchers and engineers developed innovative techniques of creating and modifying computer software. The field of hacking has since expanded globally to encompass network intrusion, free and open-source software, cybercrime and cyberterrorism, hacktivism, civic hacking, and culture hacking.
