A guide to become an Ethical Hacker !

The ethical hacker(also known as white hat hacker) is that, who discover

security holes in your systems and make it secure ! The ethical hacker

works like a cracker to find vulnerabilities, potential threats that

could be exploited by other hackers. Remember, Attack is the best

defense so always think in a hacker's way.

To become an ethical hacker, follow these steps :

1. Learn about computer system :- An ethical hacker should have a good

knowledge about operating systems.The Problem is most programmers are

not good computer scientist. That's why vulnerabilities are found in

their softwares. So first learn computer architecture !  If you are a

windows user, then move to linux. Because linux is everywhere like

server, Desktop, satellites, TV etc. Most of webserver works on

linux. Go to Youtube and you can also google for learning LINUX.

2. Learn Programming :- Remember, Hackers are programmers.The difference

is in way of thinking only. you can be a fairly good ethical hacker

without knowing any programming But people will still classify you

as a script kiddie. As Many peoples don't know from where to start.

I suggest you to learn HTML first. Then start with C/C++. Most of

Operating systems are written in C/C++.

3.Learn networking :- An ethical hacker should have knowledge about

how network operates and networking term like IP/TCP, port, protocol,

router, modem and many more terms. If you want to be good in networking

then you can set up your own home network.

4. Join hackers forums :- join ethical hacking Groups on social

websites like facebook, Twitter etc. Subscribe to hacker news websites.

join ethical hacking communities like HackThisSite, Black-Hat Forums

etc...
