In general, normal people (gamers mostly) call everybody that uses cheats hacker.
That term is wrong.
Hacker is orginaly a word for a very good programmer or a system administrator that uses \"hacks\".
A hack is a smart solution of a problem.
Most of the cheaters are lame script kiddies (term for somebody who calls themselves a hacker but uses others work because they lack skills in creating own) so calling the hackers only worsens the case.
Crackers are programmers that likes to destroy or breaking software to get past a certain point.
A crack is a new exectuable which bypasses the old instructions to run the crackers code, or simply jump over the CD checks which are the most common, or delete the registering reminder of some application
I hope this calarified some things

P.S There are many definitions of these two terms, but this is after a bit of research that I have settled with.
And right, sorry for the OT
