Hey guys!
According to wikipeadia there are a few definitions. The one I feel is the closest is:

Hacker (programmer subculture), who shares an anti-authoritarian approach to software development now associated with the free software movement

Although I feel that hacking is really approaching your problem - any problem although computer-related problems seem to be most likely - from an unorthodox angle, finding unusual solutions, using items in unexpected ways, and most importantly, -
staying up all night hacking away if that is what's required.

The network security definition you propose is somewhat limited and is likely to attract script kiddies and plain old vandals.
