What is the eligibility criteria to pursue ethical hacking?

Hi Harmesh, You can go ahead but I would advice you to pick a degree course preferable BCA as this will help you understand the core basics. 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.
