Which are the following\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Website hacking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This type of hacking means gaining your control over any <strong>webserver<\/strong> or any software or database connected to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Network hacking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This type of hacking means that by taking control of any network, its owner has to be harmed. The main purpose of this hacking is to harm only its owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Email hacking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this type of hacking, the hacker steals all his personal data by hacking the email without the permission of its owner and uses it for wrong purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

Computer hacking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this type of hacking, any hacker can hack the computer system. And collects his personal data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_become_an_ethical_hacker_Step-by-step\"><\/span>How to become an ethical hacker | Step-by-step<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To become a successful ethical hacker, you need to have better computer knowledge to learn which you can follow the following steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Learn Basic Concept of Computer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To become an ethical hacker, you must first learn computer typing as well as know about the basic concepts of computers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For example\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How does the computer work?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is software?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is an operating system called?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How do websites and computer software work?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is the function of the browser?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Learn Computer Networking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After learning the basic fundamentals of computers, you should know about computer networking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For example\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How does the internet work?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are the different types of computer networking?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How do networking technologies like WiFi and Bluetooth work?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How is data transferred through networking?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Detailed knowledge of computer networking can help you a lot in the future, so understand even the smallest things very closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Learn Computer Programing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now you need to learn computer programming language because it is very important to have programming knowledge to become an ethical hacker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hackers mostly use programming languages like C\/C++ to access<strong> computer hardware<\/strong> (RAM and hard disk).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a hacker, the better knowledge of the programming language you have, the more it is beneficial. But still, the following <strong>5 languages<\/strong> are the most used in the field of hacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Python<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Java<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ruby<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>JavaScript<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>C &amp; C++ for Whitehat hacking<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can read <a href=\"https:\/\/hackernoon.com\/5-top-programming-languages-every-ethical-hacker-needs-to-learn-osr3wsv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hackernoon<\/a>&#8216;s article to know more about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Know About Databases<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To become a hacker, it is necessary to have knowledge of databases along with computer programming. A database is a collection of protected information or data that is usually controlled by a database management system <strong>(DBMS)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To understand it well, you must have knowledge of <strong>Structured Query Language (SQL)<\/strong>. Because most of the databases are created with the help of SQL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Learn Operating Systems (Linux)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Linux is an open-source operating system. Almost all the operating systems of the hacking world are based on the <strong>Linux kernel<\/strong>. Our favorite operating system Android is also based on the Linux kernel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Linux was first developed by <strong>AT&amp;T at Bell Lab<\/strong>. It has a huge contribution in the field of cybersecurity because it provides better security to the computer system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being open-source, you can learn Linux by downloading and installing it on your computer for <strong>free<\/strong>. You can&#8217;t become a hacker without the knowledge of Linux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Learn Cryptography<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cryptography is a technique of protecting data in which data is converted into a secure format (letter, number, and character).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you understand in simple language, as you sent a message to someone, then the <strong>letter<\/strong> of that message will be converted into other <strong>characters<\/strong>. It action is called <strong>encryption<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Decoding this encrypted message requires a grid or table that determines how the characters in the message are transformed. This process of decoding is called <strong>Decryption<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To become a successful ethical hacker, you have to master the knowledge of cryptography because <strong>encryption and decryption<\/strong> is an important skill in the hacking field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Practice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most important thing to master any skill is <strong>Practice<\/strong>. So if you really want to become a successful ethical hacker then you have to keep practicing hacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this, you can take part in the competition on the online platform or you can practice by creating a hacking environment in your computer itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final thought of this post [<strong>How to Become Ethical Hacker | Step-by-step guide 2021<\/strong>] is that To become a hacker, it is very important for you to have problem-solving skills as well as an interest in computer programming, real-life challenges, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Don\u2019t forget to share<\/strong>&nbsp;our \u2018<strong>How to Become Ethical Hacker<\/strong> Guide\u2019 with your friends so that they too can get some help in choosing the right career option.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1355,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"googlesitekit_rrm_CAowj-HgCw:productID":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-how-to-become","infinite-scroll-item"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/aimpur.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/A-hacker-without-face-with-his-laptop-Aimpur.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aimpur.com\/guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aimpur.com\/guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aimpur.com\/guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aimpur.com\/guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aimpur.com\/guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1334"}],"version-history":[{"count":25,"href":"https:\/\/aimpur.com\/guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1334\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5843,"href":"https:\/\/aimpur.com\/guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1334\/revisions\/5843"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aimpur.com\/guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1355"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aimpur.com\/guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aimpur.com\/guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aimpur.com\/guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
