Modding - adding somthing to somthing else to make that somthing else better
Hacking - stealing somthing or taking somthing that's not yours

I dunno I could be wrong

Modding is usually the act running modified code on a console/game

Hacking is when you maliciously perform something such as Account Theft and DDOS attacks or anything that involves accessing information that you are not supposed to, it can also be physical in some cases, unless you're talking about literally HACKING away at something :3

Modding - Modding is a slang expression that is derived from the verb "modify". Modding refers to the act of modifying hardware, software, or virtually anything else, to perform a function not originally conceived or intended by the designer.

Hacking- In the computer security context, a hacker is someone who seeks and exploits weaknesses in a computer system or computer network. Hackers may be motivated by a multitude of reasons, such as profit, protest, or challenge

modding is editing code for fun or cool purposes

hacking isn't always malicious, but it's usually to break into a system for personal benefit

[/b]Modding
Modding is a slang expression that is derived from the verb "modify". Modding refers to the act of modifying hardware, software, or virtually anything else, to perform a function not originally conceived or intended by the designer. The term modding is often used within the computer game community, particularly in regard to creating new or altered content and sharing that via the web. It may also be applied to the overclocking of computers in order to increase the frequency at the which the CPU operates. Case modding is also a popular activity amongst many computer enthusiasts which involves the customization of a computer case or the installation of water cooling technology. In connection with automobiles, modding often refers to engine tuning, remapping of a vehicle's engine control unit or customization of the bodywork.
Hacking
Can't find anything on hacking so will write something myself- Hacking is where something is not meant to be able to change or illegal to change. IMO modding is like a least serious offence to hacking.
