Difference between hacking and glitching?

[tsouryavong13]

I'm too stupid to know that the difference is.

You download a program to hack.

 

For glitching, you exploit a bug in R*'s coding of the game.

[Misanthrope Z]

to hack, you take it in the mouth

to glitch, you take it in the butt

[The Spook]

Glitching is exploiting something already wrong with the game

 

Hacking is the alteration of the game by an outside source

 

Someone may give you a more scientific explanation though.

[HotPepper]

there is no difference cause you are abusing it either way so don't bother or the ban hammer will find you

Same as the difference between juggs and hooters.

[Accendo]

Hacking would involve modifying game code directly, whereas glitching involves exploiting a mistake made by the developers.

Everyone's right. But I'll just add another analogy so you understand more.

 

There's a store with your life needs inside.

 

If you break the store's window to get the stuff inside = You're hacking

 

If the store's employee lets the door unlocked then you take the stuff inside = You're glitching

Basically, one (hacking) is you being a dick, the other (glitching) is you finding a loophole and being a dick.
Don't be a dick.

No, that's a script kiddie.

 

I'm tired of the word "hacker" being thrown around so loosely.

too true, hackers speak in code, they dont need a program to hack

 

glitchers dont know why their exploits work, a hacker would

 

for me

 

hacker = someone who inserts code not previously there

glitcher = takes advantage of exploits in the code

modder = adapting existing code

 

but thats jsut me

Some of these niggaz think copying an EBOOT file to your PS3 is hacking lol ask choco what its like coding an eboot with hacks.

[AdmiralAmmunation]

Hack=changing the game

Glitches=not changing the game, they're put there by R*, intentional or not.
