	Cracking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cracking is the formation of a crack, a fracture or partial fracture (breaking) in a solid material.
		Cracking knuckles is the practice of manipulating one's fingers such that the knuckle joints produce a sharp sound, likened to cracking.
		Cracking can be defined as the act of entering a computer or computer network by force, where hacking is the act of manipulating one's way through a computer or computer network.

	Cracking (chemistry) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The "spent" catalyst is disengaged from the cracked hydrocarbon vapors and sent to a stripper where it is contacted with steam to remove hydrocarbons remaining in the catalyst pores.
		The thermal cracking process follows a homolytic mechanism, that is, bonds break symmetrically and thus pairs of free radicals are formed.
		The catalytic cracking process involves the presence of acid catalysts (usually solid acids such as silica-alumina and zeolites) which promote a heterolytic (asymmetric) breakage of bonds yielding pairs of ions of opposite charges, usually a carbocation and the very unstable hydride anion.

	Software cracking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Distribution of cracked software ("warez"), or patches to circumvent software protection on software (commonly known as "cracks") is generally an illegal (or more recently, criminal) act of copyright infringement.
		The non trivial part of cracking resides in the fact that cracking often have to be done at the assembly level.
		Once the technical competition had expanded from the challenges of cracking to the challenges of creating visually stunning intros, the foundations for a new subculture known as demoscene were established.

	Concrete Technology \| Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Cracking \| Portland Cement Association (PCA)
		Cracking can be the result of one or a combination of factors, such as drying shrinkage, thermal contraction, restraint (external or internal) to shortening, subgrade settlement, and applied loads.
		Cracking can be significantly reduced when the causes are taken into account and preventative steps are utilized.
		The width and depth of cracks depends upon the temperature differential, physical properties of the concrete, and the reinforcing steel.

	CFA: Concrete Cracking
		Cracks can be unsightly but many consumers feel that if a crack develops in their wall or floor that the product has failed.
		In the case of a wall, if a crack is not structural, is not too wide (the acceptable crack of a crack depends on who you ask and ranges from 1/16” to 1/4”) and is not leaking water, it should be considered acceptable.
		Cracks that occur before hardening usually are the result of settlement within the concrete mass, or shrinkage of the surface (plastic-shrinkage cracks) caused by loss of water while the concrete is still plastic.

		Password cracking is the process of recovering secret passwords from data that has been stored in or transmitted by a computer system, typically, by repeatedly verifying guesses for the password.
		The purpose of password cracking might be to help a user recover a forgotten password (though installing an entirely new password is less of a security risk), to gain unauthorized access to a system, or as a preventive measure by the system administrator to check for easily crackable passwords.
		Any 'cracking' technique of this kind is considered successful if it can decrypt the password in fewer operations than would be required by a brute force attack (see below).

	Security cracking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the context of computer networking, cracking (also called fl-hat hacking, or hacking) is the act of compromising the security of a system without permission from an authorized party, usually with the intent of accessing computers connected to the network.
		(The somewhat similar activity of defeating copy protection devices in software with the intent of using the software illegally is addressed at software cracking.) The term 'cracker' seems to have developed from 'hacker,' with a connotation of forcibility in addition to cleverness.
		Cracking techniques can vary from using advanced programming skills and social engineering to utilizing software developed by others without understanding how the cracking software works.

		If cracking is experienced in rings cast with United Deoxidized Sterling Silver alloys exactly on the sprue junction of the cast rings it is usually due to the investment mix being too hard.
		The cracks are often hairline and may not be noticed until inspection of the castings.

		Both Crack 5 and John the Ripper allow the user to define rule sets that control the transformations that are applied to the input dictionaries (word lists).
		When cracking passwords from UNIX systems, the cracking tool must be configured to use the appropriate encryption algorithm for the system being cracked.
		This step may, however, be overlooked by the cracker, and a cracking tool using an algorithm that does not match that used to create the password hashes, will never find any passwords, regardless of the size of the dictionary and the number of transformations attempted.

	EDC Cracking
		Commercial EDC crackers operate at gauge pressures of 1.4-3.0 MPa (200-435 psig) and at temperatures of 475-525°C. EDC conversion per pass is normally maintained at 53-63%, with a residence time of 2-30 sec.
		Cracking reaction selectivity to vinyl chloride of >99% can be achieved at these conditions.
		Cracking furnace effluent must be quenched, or cooled rapidly, to keep coking at a minimum.

	Cat Cracking
		The catalysts used in refinery cracking units are typically solid materials (zeolite, aluminum hydrosilicate, treated bentonite clay, fuller's earth, bauxite, and silica-alumina) that come in the form of powders, beads, pellets or shaped materials called extrudites.
		This cracking continues until the oil vapors are separated from the catalyst in the reactor cyclones.
		The catalyst is in the form of pellets that are moved continuously to the top of the unit by conveyor or pneumatic lift tubes to a storage hopper, then flow downward by gravity through the reactor, and finally to a regenerator.

	cracking alkanes - thermal and catalytic
		Cracking is the name given to breaking up large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller and more useful bits.
		The zeolites used in catalytic cracking are chosen to give high percentages of hydrocarbons with between 5 and 10 carbon atoms - particularly useful for petrol (gasoline).
		In thermal cracking, high temperatures (typically in the range of 450°C to 750°C) and pressures (up to about 70 atmospheres) are used to break the large hydrocarbons into smaller ones.

		For this research project I have adopted to use “clan” as the nomenclature for referring to these cracking groups. These clans give themselves a name and develop an entire little community of people. They try to be the first to come out with a crack to a video game and distribute them.

		Consequently, any form of hacking has come under scrutiny and this includes the hacking (cracking) of video games. The media has caught on and hyped the hacker as an enemy of the people. The hacker, according to mainstream culture, is anti-social and seeks to undermine the very fabric of society.
