New to all of this, please forgive me!!

[Monty Burns]

Well, little bit hard to understand, what you exactly want to know.
Appz: short for Application
Warez: all kind of (illegal) stuff
Crackz: Cracks are modified original exe-files or
progs that do so (=Patches)
Ripz: Extracted stuff from a CD, e.g. a whole game
but without movie, sound, etc. files, which
would be too big to be downloaded via the
Internet. In most cases illegal!

What else did you want to know. The stuff mentioned above is only a short summary of the words' meaning.
