# Cracker Crackers are the good people who in computer systems, with use of [hacking](hacking.md), remove artificial barriers to obtaining and sharing [infomration](information.md); for example they help remove [DRM](drm.md) from [games](game.md) or leak data from secret databases. This is normally illegal which makes the effort even more admirable. Cracker is also food. Cracker is also the equivalent of [nigger-word](nigger.md) for the white people.
