Hai, I am Arun persuing MCA and I am much interested in hacking but i don't know programming languages. So will studying CEH help me?

Hi, Believe me it’s the best job in the world. You get paid for using your destructive mind in a rather constructive way.Considering the ever increasing threats to Global Network security and need for better mechanisms of privacy and data safety, you have a very bright future if you think you have it in you to become an Ethical Hacker. To add on, for being a professional ethical hacker you require motivation, dedication, initiative, self-education and formal training in ethical hacking. I would like to suggest a few points:- 1. Know about the different types of hackers, such as White Hat, Grey Hat and Black Hat hackers 2. Evaluate your strengths and interests and gain some programming knowledge such as C, or Java. 3. Learn the UNIX operating system as it is regarded as the original operating system built by hackers. Explore the links below for:- *List of institutes- tinyurl.com/739uy4a *Scope in Ethical Hacking- tinyurl.com/3oowaa8 tinyurl.com/68m8l3b Feel free to revert. If it resolves, close the thread by liking it or marking it as a best answer. Good Luck.

I would like to suggest u that before going for any security certification U must be sound with an Operating System Specially Linux cos right now 90% Servers are running on Linux so before going for network security if u choose the server security will be an added advantage. RHCE+RHCSS is good option for the Server side security and CISSP is nothing but a network security option and CEH is basically for the Security but the name gives another story about this certification. Like Certified Ethical Hacking. If i elaborate this wordings then Ethics mean Principals and Hacking mean Theft. Are u going to learn how to do theft ethically or are u going to learn how to secure Network and Server? As Cyber Crime is going high Security Specialist is going to be future. For Securing Network u must have thorough knowledge of Network and for securing data u must have thorough knowledge of one Operating System for that U must choose the OS which is running in Industry like Linux, for that u can opt RHCE & RHCSS (Red Hat Certified Security Specialist) will give u ultimate mileage for ur career.
