I think the last defines it the best.
"1. To program a computer in a clever, virtuosic, and wizardly manner. Ordinary computer jockeys merely write programs; hacking is the domain of digital poets. Hacking is a subtle and arguably mystical art, equal parts wit and technical ability, that is rarely appreciated by non-hackers. See hacker."
There, talking about scripting, engine knowledge that is advanced (Dante or SK levels) is essentially the same as Hacking.
A Hacker when it comes to servers and such will mostly look and poke around, and if he's nice enough he'll inform someone of the security risk, the 'black hat' version of this will destroy anything in sight.
Trivial, I know, but yes, with enough knowledge either could be done, a hacker could improve something greatly or destroy it totally.
Hacking in my opinion is a grey zone.
