Ethical Hacking

Yes, you can. Starting from the point of view, Hacking does not requires eligibility of academics. Hacking is just a skill which requires, Coding Knowledge, Network Knowledge, Server side Scripting Knowledge, Computer Hardware Knowledge and Testing Knowledge. Coming to the part, if you saw the articles, the children around 5 -11 years of age are hacking networks, finding zero day flaws in software etc. So, this shows hacking doesn't require any academic courses. Learning hacking through any certification, such as EC - Council CEH, (ISC) 2s CISSP, CISA and CISM from ISACA and OSCP from Offensive Security will improve the professional skills of hacking.

1. Metasploit - A free tool, one of the most popular cybersecurity tool around that allows you to locate vulnerabilities at different platforms. As a penetration tester, it pinpoints the vulnerabilities with Nexpose closed-loop integration using Top Remediation reports.
2. Acunetix WVS - It scans and finds out the flaws in a website that could prove fatal. This tool crawls a website and finds out malicious Cross-site Scripting, SQL injection, and other vulnerabilities.
3. Nmap - It's a free and open source hacking tool is the most popular port scanning tool around that allows efficient network discovery and security auditing. Used for a wide range of services, Nmap uses raw IP packets to determine the hosts available on a network, their services along with details, operating systems used by hosts, the type of firewall used, and other information.
4. Wireshark - It discovers vulnerability within a network and probes firewall rule-sets. Wireshark helps you to read live data from Ethernet, IEEE 802.11, PPP/HDLC, ATM, Bluetooth, USB, Token Ring, Frame Relay, FDDI, and others.
5. oclHashcat - Generally used for the password cracking. Hashcat is a CPU-based password cracking tool, oclHashcat is its advanced version that uses the power of your GPU.
6. Nessus Vulnerability Scanner - Using Nessus, one can scan multiple types of vulnerabilities that include remote access flaw detection, misconfiguration alert, denial of services against TCP/IP stack, preparation of PCI DSS audits, malware detection, sensitive data searches, etc.

Hello,
This is a golden era for IT and Digitization in India. Now, the government too are launching various Apps (BHIM or SWAYAM) and software for general public. Hence, to secure the data, programs and software, government is now spending a huge money on its security and hiring the bunch of Ethical Hackers. You need to be excellent in this field. After doing this course from the Nest College with passing grades, you can work in any government organization like; Ministry of information and broadcasting. Your designation could be, Computer Hacking Forensic Investigators, Licensed Penetration Tester, and Information Security Manager Etc. Also, you can earn a huge amount of money while working with government.

The cyber-security, the job market is expected to grow to more than $170 billion in just four years, making it not only one of the fastest growing employment segments in IT, but one that also comes with six-figure salaries, security and plenty of room for upward mobility.
An ethical hacker can actually evaluate the nature of security present in a network. The hacker looks for vulnerabilities in order to prevent unauthorized activities on the network. The qualification needed for assessing the security of computer systems is called as Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH). For completing this task, many penetration testing techniques are employed.
There are several reputed training institutes which provide courses in ethical hacking. Such courses are helpful for learning the different concepts of networking and programming. The CEH programme is one of the most desired information security training programs. Advanced hacking tools and techniques are taught during the course. However, it is important that the use of these techniques should only be ethical.
Achieving a CEH Credential can facilitate great possibilities in your career, as both consumer and business experiences become more digital. The CEH credential acts as a differentiate during the job interview process, but it also brands the recipient with a mark of academic credibility in a specialized subset of information security.

There are three main generally accepted categories of a hacker, each represented by a hat of a different colour: white, grey and black. All of them exploit weaknesses in computer systems and networks. The differences between them are their motivations. The most infamous is the black hat hackers, computer criminals epitomized by Hollywood, whose malicious activities serve their own ends ranging from financial gain to simply causing chaos. White hat hackers are usually those that carry out their craft with no apparent criminal intention in mind. And grey hats sit somewhere in the middle, often hacking into a system just to prove they can, but afterward usually notifying the vendor or owner of the weakness.
Most organisations believe that the act of authorising an ethical hacker to test a company's defences is enough legal protection to justify both sets of actions: firstly, the action of hiring an ethical hacker and secondly, to provide necessary cover for the questionable activities of the hacker, who in turn believes they are justified by the fact that they are acting in the best interests of the company who hired them.

Hello,
Bachelor of Computer Application is a regular three years course that is offered by many colleges in almost every city of India. This course is of course approved by the concerned universities in its content. There is also a system in place in each university to review and change the syllabus as per the requirement. At some places it's divided into six semesters while in some cases annual pattern is still followed. On the other hand "ethical hacker's course" is offered by dozens of computer learning that have mushroomed everywhere. Then this course is neither regulated by any statutory body nor is it regulated by industry body or association. At some places about 50 hours of learning makes one certified ethical hacker while in some institutions it takes up to 200 hours of learning. For a person who is enrolled for BCA, this hacker's course can be anytime without any trouble absolutely. It can be done online, by weekly classes, etc. As it is not a course conducted as per university norm, it can definitely be taken up simultaneously with BCA.
