The main difference is that a hacker mostly called as a person who attack a computer but don't do any damage or harm but a cracker is a person who do the same thing as hackers in the first place but the difference is in the second part which makes them separate, cracker DO case the damage and harms to individuals and public website and computers but the cyber law points of view both of them consider as a crime due to the computer crime Act 1997 but cracker are more accused since you may don't understand if hackers attack you but once he turn out to be a cracker and make you feel damage or harm you or your computer you will find out that some body may using your information, for instance if a cracker attack your laptop and get the information about your credit cart and he or she use this information you will definitely soon figure it out once you see the credit cart bill that is exact moment that you may go for suing the cracker in order to make your money back, but for most of hackers since you didn't get any damage or harm you won't do anything but it's still crime under the cyber law computer crime ACT 1997.
