Hacking is when you break into another persons computer using complicated software, usually to find out information and access files. eavesdropping is when you listen in on someones conversation without being part of it.
"Eavesdropping" is a word meaning to listen in on someone else's conversation; it heavily implies that the people having the conversation are unaware that this is occurring and would not approve of it if they knew (as opposed to, for example, two people speaking publicly who want others to hear them for whatever reason).
It's similar to but distinct from "overhearing"; eavesdropping implies an active intention to invade someone's privacy as opposed to an accidental or involuntary occurrence.
