Saludos!

I am trying to translate the term "hacking" and since Spanish is not my first language I am not confident about how to translate it.

Babelfish translated it to "cortar" and I can see why cutting would seem like hacking, but the meaning is completely different in my opinion.

So is hacking, as in computer hacking, a technical term or a slang term or maybe a technical slang term!? In any case, what would be a good way to translate this concept?

Thanks!
