How To Become A White Hat Genius!
The world of penetration testing and network security is exciting but it can be difficult to know where and how to get started. However, Linux can be complicated for beginners. The command line can be an unforgiving thing.
So where do you begin?
Hacking With Linux by Travis Booth, the author of Machine Learning With Python and Linux For Beginners is going to walk you through more advanced concepts to do with Kali Linux and other penetration testing tools. You will learn all about the exciting world of the Linux system and how you can use it to secure yourself and your network.
If you can't think like a hacker, it will be harder to defend yourself from crackers. This is the premise of ethical hacking. A security breach can cause massive damage to businesses, potentially stealing information and money, cause damage to your image, downtime, and many other losses. Due to these risks, companies from various areas, such as banks, telecommunications, large corporations in general, have been looking for professionals and companies specialized in ethical hacking.
An ethical hacker (or pentester, as it is also commonly called), is a security professional specializing in offensive security, that is, more focused on vulnerability identification processes and, consequently, on the development of security methods and protection. What does he do? Generally speaking, get paid to try to break into systems to detect vulnerabilities. Their function is to find security vulnerabilities that a malicious hacker could potentially exploit. To do so, they need to develop skills in system penetration techniques.
But these professional penetration testers must follow a code of ethics to guide everything they do. The EC-Council, creators of the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) exam, has one of the best codes of ethics available. Patience, persistence, and perseverance are important qualities for ethical hackers due to the time frame and level of concentration required to succeed in most attacks. Web and database programming skills, as well as in-depth knowledge of computer networking, are very useful for hackers to perform ethical hacking and vulnerability testing. Based on this fundamental knowledge, an ethical hacker will use specific techniques that will allow him to invade and detect system vulnerabilities. Most ethical hackers become a penetration testing professional by learning these techniques in two ways: either by learning hacking skills on their own or by taking formal classes. Many, like Roger Grimes, coauthor of this text, have done both.
Join the millions who have turned network security into an exciting career by taking the correct first steps.
