I DO NOT condone cracking, but it is impossible to stop. The best weapon against it is to try and be one step ahead of the crackers. These are a few links I have found to contain useful and interesting information - which any serious system admin people should know about and have access to.
The reason I used the term cracker, is that hackers sometimes get tarred with the same brush, and they shouldn't be. Hackers are helpful and useful, they write useful code, for example there are alot of hackers working on Linux, and it benefits us all. Crackers on the other hand are just trying to gain access to systems with the intent on doing damage, in one form or another.
