Getting started in ethical hacking (Don't miss the end)
Hello everyone, this is Vikram. I hope you are all doing good in the pandemic. It's 2020 and the only thing we hear is how covid19 is growing globally. But there is also one more thing which is increasing rapidly in this pandemic and to be noted. Yes, it's hacking. Speaking more professionally it's the cyber attacks.
Is there anyone who did not hear of this term in the 21st century?
so let me clear some things about getting started in cybersecurity.
Intro : there are many sub parts that fall into cybersecurity. No, it's not only hacking.
Application security
Network security
Information security
Malware analysis
Forensics
Web application pen testing….. Etc. it's never ending.
Types of hackers :
● Black Hat Hackers or you can say bad guys or those who hack for bad purposes or illegally.
● White Hat Hackers or Ethical Hackers are those hackers who hacks before bad guys do or they hack legally and make your service safe from bad guys.
● Gray Hat Hackers this category of hackers hack into things for their personal profit; they don’t harm anyone.

Conclusion : there is a great opportunity for you to learn hacking and bug bounty. I am starting a course(paid) where only a few people will get trained on a first come first serve basis. Connect me on email : bugbountytest40@gmail.com and get the details of course.
