Are Homebrewing and Hacks/Hacking the same or different?

Yes. Because in order to run Homebrew you have to hack the system first. Though some people wouldn't consider homebrewing 'hacking' or 'dangerous' per se. I know there are people out there who do things without harming others, and that's fine. But people abuse the rules and do stupid shit.

It's obvious that they are different…or rather, they live on the same block 'cept the Hack is on the seedier side of the block.

Homebrew done right, is nothing short of making your device better.

In order to Homebrow, some degree of hacking is required first. Now, hacking per se is usually used when talking about a digital attack on a server but the term IS very broadly used as such.

This time, Wikipedia IS our friend:
