How can I become an ethical hacker?

Hello Ankit, You should not get too fascinated with ethical hacker as they show in movies. Most of the institutes provide just a basic fancy course under the name of ethical hacking, just to attract students and earn more. I would rather recommend you to go for security specialist professionals. These jobs are highly payable and in high demand as most companies need them to protect their own data. These jobs work on the same logic that the best thief can protect the data in the best way. For the same, you can go to some reputed computer training institutes like NIIT, etc. You can go for Java courses followed by networking courses and CCNA/CCNB (CISCO) courses. After this, you can also opt for CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) certification courses, if you wish to. Ensure you do these courses alongside a degree course (BCA, B.Tech, B.Sc, etc.) for better outcome. I hope I have been able to answer your queries to your satisfaction. If so, kindly upvote this answer. If you've any further questions, kindly revert.

The first thing to learn is why there is really no such thing as a certified ethical hacker and comprehend why the terms certified and hacker are orthogonal. To put it bluntly, the moment you get certified, you are no longer a hacker. Unless you choose to buy into our cultures morphing of the word hacker, wherein it has been modified from one who, with little or no formal training, enjoys exploring the limits of what is possible in a field, typically in a spirit of playful cleverness. You don't get certified to do this, and getting certified more powerfully indicates that you are not doing it. Second, you can't be certified as ethical. At the end of the day, you are either an ethical individual or not. Trust is far more important and fragile in this community than a mere certificate can even begin to communicate. Background checks and individual relationships will reveal far more of your ethics than a certificate. If you intend to be an ethical hacker, start with being an ethical individual, with a trustworthy character, and never cease. Be an ethical individual who hacks stuff, and one day, those closest to you will certify that you are indeed an ethical hacker.
