Ethical Hacking

Ethical Hacking.

If you want to learn ethical hacking you need a lot of things the basics will get you started. This list is what got me started.

1.Learn about computer hardware i would take A+

your friend the computer

See when you take it apart and get use to it its not scary is it?

Some of you will say that A+ Security+ Network+ Linux+ Network+ CEH is not required none of these courses are its just that they teach the skills you would need without having to google ever single one.

2.Learn more than one programming language

programming languages: for this i would start with Python then move to something a little more complex but do not push to yourself to much at once and to hard when you know some programming languages move to Java then if you wish move to c its hard to give a complete list because ever hacker and programmer is different and languages and syntax change a lot pick a language you like do not study one you hate just because your friends say that all hackers know that language and its awesome pick a language you like and learn it learn more than one if you can you should be able to program in multiple languages Python is becoming a very popular scripting language Just in case you did not know A Scripting Language is a language such as Bash and Python to automate tasks such as network analysis.

3.Learn a little bit of a native scripting language on your OS this could be Bash(Linux) PowerShell(Windows) this will be useful for scripting tools to be used for your system or the ability to script a backdoor in python or powershell depending on what is installed on the system if your target is windows then powershell is going to be installed and Bash will be useful for a Linux machine automating a script to copy files download a script for post exploitation from a Exploit database or compiling a file uploaded to the computer or server via something like FTP(File Transfer Protocol)whatever you can come up with or to script a tool you found a exploit for or fixing a broken or outdated tool.

4. Be Creative. Creativity is required to be a hacker because as defenders of a network are coming up with new defenses to protect there systems you as a hacker need to find ways to change the ways these systems work and need a way to figure out how to upload a shell to that Box.

5.Learn some Computer Networking. Learn things like ARP, Firewalls, NAT, DNS, Subnet, DHCP, IP OSI model, TCP/IP TCP UDP HTTP HTTPS etc.

This will be helpful when trying to understand how a attack works Network+ is very helpful.

6. Realize that Hacking is not like its done in the movies or displayed on your favorite News Platform Hacking and computers in general is such a large topic that no one is a expert this is why hacking is multiple subjects like social engineering web server hacking etc hacking is not even limited to a computer.

7.Learn about types of attacks like 0days Phishing MITM File inclusions Buffer overflows etc.

8.Learn some reverse engineering this will help in understanding code and changing the way a program works.

9.Never give up. No one starts out perfect they start as amateurs and beginners.

10.choose if not to use a handle or not to.

Hope you guys have a good day.......
