Hardware & Networking

Starting from the point of view, Hacking doesn't 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 are 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.
