From Club Penguin Fanon Wiki
Hacking can refer to two items. One is a definate good, and the other a definate bad. Everyone hopes that you are the good kind of hacker!
- First is the most common usage: malacious intent. This form of hacking is the illegal, immoral, and disgraceful act of compromising the security of another computer for the purpose of destruction, theft, fraud, or other illicit means. It also includes viruses, malware, adware, spyware, worms, and other nasty items intended to take out innocent users' computers. Everyone looks down on these lowlives and enjoy seeing them locked up, and of course, nerds spit on them. Nerdiness must be a force of good, not evil.
- Second is the noble intent: altering or improving hardware and software for the purpose of improving its performance, usefulness, or creating positive benefits, either through established commands and methods built in, or in a good old-fashioned do-it-yourself manner. This form of "hacking" is practiced, whether they know it or not, by almost every computer nerd, from the Windows losers like TurtleShroom to the geniuses like ZapWire.
- Noble hacking, in some schools of thought, been heavilly expanded into the non-computing field as well! An example of hacking in a different setting is TurtleShroom's maternal grandfather: frustrated by a kill switch installed on his lawnmower- one that turned off the motor when no pressure is on the mower (e.g. if his rear bounced off the mower on a hill, the mower goes off) -applied pressure to the seat and stuck a wire between the switch and the seat, so that it would never cut off.
- To the good man's hacking community, that brilliant improvision is seen as a form of hacking as much as making a PC work faster. Noble hackers have a lot cut out for them in trying to diffrientiate themselves from the evil hackers. Even the international standards organizations use the first definition exclusively.

This category lists the hacking equipment- both good and bad -in the Club Penguin Wiki universe. Due to the two distinct divisions of hacking preached by the hardcore nerds of the site, this category can not be placed under the villains' category.
