I feel curious about this topic. A lot of people know about "inside trading", but is it the same as manipulating the stock/equity market? How does someone do this?

Here's an other goodie.
Hire poor muslim people that know how to fly a plane, and have them crash into a seriously known property world-wide (It has to be in a famous city and tall-enough for them to crash into easily while still flying).
Beforehand, you'll need to have made sure the insurance company covering the building has a major proportion of its liabilities tied up to that one single building, and you'll want to make sure if the building falls, the insurance company goes completely kaput.
It should be listed on the stock exchange and before the planes crash, you'll want to have a massive short position on the insurance company.
Insider trading, I think, is a specific type of securities fraud. Manipulation is probably a wider range that encompasses different tactics one could use to get an upper hand. I'm not a lawyer, but law is all semantics, rule definitions, evidence of the event that took place, and the type of punishment that the law permits to be applied to what's found during proceedings. So, I'm sure it comes down to interpretation of the rules and what events actually take place on what results in any illegal activity.
TL;DR, don't do either.
You manipulate it by owning an exchange and "co-locating" High Freq. fuarks close as possible to your market making machines. Then KA-CHING!!! You're rolling in the dough! #FlashBoys #MichaelCLewisCrew
