However, if you immerse yourself in the environment (e.g. You can learn from an instructor and sure, you’ll pick stuff up.
My personal recommendation is to treat Linux like learning a foreign language.
Sure cuts a lot hack free#
Fortunately, there are a multitude of free resources out there for individuals interested in learning Linux. Some hackers choose to use their own builds and distributions, but Kali and Parrot dominate the majority. This is often either Kali Linux or Parrot. Primarily, we use a Debian-based distribution. We use a lot of Linux in ethical hacking. Here are some of my favorite resources:ģ) Linux skills. If I ask you to describe the OSI model, to tell me what service is running on port 22, or ask you to describe CIDR notation, can you do it? What about the TCP three-way handshake? If what I am saying to you is pure jibberish then congratulations, you need networking skills. Networking skills are incredibly important when it comes to penetration testing. If you’re brand new to IT and starting here, I strongly recommend picking one of the following resources:Ģ) Networking skills. Can you build a computer and identify its parts? Can you troubleshoot and fix issues? In my mind, this would be equivalent to the CompTIA A+ certification. By this, I mean your standard break/fix help desk skillset. If you’re short on cash, just focus on the trainings themselves.ġ) Basic IT skills. You do not have to take the certification unless you want to (though, it could help with landing a job). Some of the links will be related to certifications. With each of the skills, I will link resources/courses to help improve your skillset. With my rant out of the way, let’s chat about the foundational skills that I feel are necessary to mold a good hacker. For this, you’ll get paid incredibly well and have a ton of fun. You have to constantly work hard to stay on top of your game.
You are expected to be a life-long learner and if you’re at all complacent, you’ll be left behind by your peers.Įnsure that you’re interested in being a hacker because it excites you. Not only is it challenging to break into the field, but you also have to stay on top of your game as new exploits and defenses come out. You should not be choosing this field solely because it pays well. So why am I going on about this? Mainly because I see a lot of people try to break into the field because hacking sounds cool or pays well. It’s basic economics at the end of the day: low percentage of capable workers coupled with a high demand leads to high salaries. Why does it pay well? Well, because not everyone is cut out to do this type of work. You literally get paid to break into networks, applications, buildings, and lots more. Second, ethical hacking is a “sexy” field.
If you skip over the foundational skills, you’ll likely find yourself lost and overwhelmed, which may discourage you from heading down the hacker path all together. If you build a house upon a weak foundation, there’s a good chance it will crumble. Think about your hacking career as if it were a house. First, it is incredibly important to build a strong foundation in IT prior to jumping right into the awesome hacky stuff. So, without further ado, let’s chat about how you can break into the field of ethical hacking in 2022.īefore we dive into the resources, I must strongly stress a few things.
Sure cuts a lot hack update#
Given that it was well received, I thought it might be fun to update the blog with resources for 2022.
Sure cuts a lot hack how to#
Last year, I posted a blog ( ) and video ( ) on how to become an ethical hacker in 2021.
