The term "cracker" is next to useless. I'd venture to guess that for
most people the definition of "cracker" is a way, far-off distant fifth

The flat bread-food
A caucasian
Something that separates chemical compounds, and
The alterno-college-rock band
Most people simply don't associate it with computing.
