🔰ROADMAP TO BECOME A HACKER (AN ETHICAL HACKER)🔰
Step 1 - Get hands on Linux/Unix => LINUX/UNIX is an open-source operating system that provides better security to the computer systems. As a hacker, there is no skipping LINUX because it is one of the most used OS for hacking and provides ample tools for hackers. Some of the common Linux distributions are, Red Hat Linux, Kali Linux, Ubuntu, BackTrack, etc. Kali Linux is one of the most used Linux systems and is specially customized for hacking.
Step 2 - Learn simple Programing language => start with learning python or C . Although it's not so important but its comes handy And let you use your brain more .
Step 3 - Learn networking concepts => You should have a knowledge of various networks, protocols since it is beneficial in exploiting vulnerabilities. Thus learning various networking concepts and various networking tools such as Wireshark, Nmap, etc will be really beneficial. Trust me, Hacking is all about playing around the Network
Step 4 - Learn how to be Anonymous => As a hacker, this is one of the important steps that one should know. As a hacker, you might do a lot of this, some might be legal, some might be without permission. Thus it is necessary to know how to be anonymous and how one can hide their identity online, So that there will be one trace left and no one can backtrace you.
Step 5 - Explore the hidden web => The dark web is part of the internet that isn't visible to search engines and requires the use of an anonymizing browser called Tor, etc to be accessed.
You've no doubt heard talk of the “dark web” as a hotbed of criminal activity — and it is. But not everything is illegal, the dark web also has a legitimate side. Thus it is necessary to know a bit about what it is and how it works.
Step 6 - don't forget about cryptography =>Cryptography, also called the art of secret writing, It is something that as a hacker you should master. Encryption and Decryption are important skills in hacking. Encryption is widely used in several aspects of information security in authentication, confidentiality, and integrity of the data. Information on a network is always encrypted such as passwords, packets sent over the network, etc. Thus, as a hacker, it is necessary to identify the encryption and break it.
Step 7 - Dive Deep into Hacking => Once you have good knowledge about the topics discussed thus far, it's time to dive deep. Trying diving deep into hacking concepts and learning topics such as vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, SQL injections, and much more. In the field of hacking, learning is never-ending because security changes every day with new updates in the system. Thus you need to be updated with the latest tools and ways to crack a system or secure a system.
Step 8 - Experimenting and Practicing is the Key => After learning some concepts, sit back and nail them. Keep practicing them in various environments and various scenarios. Set up your own lab for experiment purposes. Use these labs to test various tools, attacks, and much more.
Step 9 - Keep discussing things with Elite Hackers => join us on discord and telegram that will help you to join discussions with other hackers in the world. This will help in exchange and sharing of knowledge and work as a team.
Last step but most important one => This is not one week or year process there is no limit of learning so keep patient & keep learning
❗There is very thin line to between Ethical or Unethical actions. With great power comes great responsibility.❗
