A: Freak. A Phreak is actually someone who tampers with telephones, connections and lines in the way that a hacker tampers with computers. To little surprise, phreaks existed decades before hackers, yet they are less known.

 

Q: Rudyard Kipling or H.P. Lovecraft?

SWP: Here's an example, it includes much more knowledge about electronics and circuits than hacking. Think of it as hardware hacking, compared to software hacking. But don't do all of this at home, since a lot of it is illegal in some countries! (some phreaking isn't illegal though, and revolves around protecting yourself from frauds etc.)
