How can I become an Ethical Hacker?
An ethical hacker, also referred to as a white hat hacker, is an information security expert who penetrates a computer system, network, application or other computing resource on behalf of its owners -- and with their authorization. Organizations call on ethical hackers to uncover potential security vulnerabilities that malicious hackers could exploit.The purpose of ethical hacking is to evaluate the security of and identify vulnerabilities in target systems, networks or system infrastructure. The process entails finding and then attempting to exploit vulnerabilities to determine whether unauthorized access or other malicious activities are possible.
One of the most obvious methods is to contact a cyber-security organisation, such as CREST, and enquire about any training or courses they may provide for budding ethical hackers. Along the same vein as this, you could research university courses related to hacking or information security and apply for these.Another way of becoming an ethical hacker is to get a position in a related subject, and then build your way up to penetration testing over time. For example, a lot of hackers use their previous experience as auditors or security professionals as a means to land a role in ethical hacking.
As with several other industries, networking is a crucial piece of the puzzle when it comes to becoming an ethical hacker. Attend as many conferences as you can, join online forums, apply for jobs, internships, apprenticeships, and get yourself out there.An ethical hacker should have a wide range of computer skills.
All ethical hackers should have:Expertise in scripting languages.
• Proficiency in operating systems.
• A thorough knowledge of networking.
• A solid foundation in the principles of information security.
Some of the most well-known and acquired certifications include:
• EC Council: Certified Ethical Hacking Certification
• Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) Certification
• CompTIA Security+
• Cisco’s CCNA Security,SANS GIAC
