I hope we are assuming the non-malicious definition of 'hacking'.

The traditional meaning of 'hacking' is simply the extensive, maybe even obsessive, usage of a computer. It rather relates to the hacking of the keyboard. In this sense about any application that requires keyboard input is a hackers tool.
Thanks to some mainstream journalists with no IT skills the term has commonly mutated into attempts of taking control on remote PC's with rather criminal intent.
What is it exactly that you want to discuss here? How to take over other people' PC's? Getting other people's passwords and credit card info's? How to reverse engineer binary applications? I don't think this is the site for such discussions.

You asked for opinions: my opinion is that you actually SHOULD care about intentions when it comes to this topic. You still haven't made clear what your motivation is for this specific topic, but you seem to be very obsessive about it, as you have started multiple question-threads on hacking.

If you mean "hacking" in the positive way, that is, trying to dig deep into the internals of how programs work, you don't find that out by dropping a few posts on LQ with one-liner questions. If you know what hacking means it should be pretty obvious to you.
If you intend to do malicious hacking, this forum is not for you.

If you had a legitimate purpose, it would be normal to suggest what that purpose was; as you have been asked for clarification in several threads without suggesting a legitimate purpose, many people will have drawn their own conclusion.

Considering that abrenar has threads asking about keyloggers, cracking passwords, etc., it is probably safe to assume that the question isn't about legit uses.

Yes, I agree, and I reported his posts as such, but it's up to the mods.

My preferred hacking tool is my brain. It is 1) free, 2) freely available, and 3) not hooked up to comcast and their stupid network policies. One or all of these may change, however if the Republicans get their way.
