1. Hacking into other people's computers without their consent is against the law.
2. You shouldn't be hacking into other people's computers for the most part. Now if you work for law enforcement and it is part of your job, or you've been issued a consensual hacking challenge by the owner of the system you are going to hack, that is different.
3. There are forensic uses for hacking, though a warrant is usually required.
4. Patching the registry or files on your own computer can be called hacking, and that isn't illegal unless you do so as a part of software piracy.
5. Some hacking activities have valid uses, such as port probing. While it is considered a precursor to actual hacking, you can do that to your own computer or that of a client you are doing security consulting for to test for vulnerabilities. This can be compared to rattling door knobs and pushing at doors. A thief may check your door knob to see if you left the door unlocked so they can rob it, but you can check your own doors to make sure they are locked to prevent theft. The same goes for network hacking.
