If you are really serious about pursuing career in computer system securities. Forget all about ethical hacking now. Ethical hacking is designed to attract rip of and make people feel they have learned something when they have not.
Most people think that security hacking is a specific course or thing that they can learn separately when it is really not. Security hacking skill is an art form that is developed by long term practice learning and hard work. It is not something that can be easily learned from a text book and a course.
Sure they will teach you to use a few tools and few concepts and few methods that has been outdated for maybe 20 years but to really learn the art you need to master how a computer system works.
Imagine a guy who knows everything about a car, he knows how the engine is made and works he knows the transmissions, he knows the suspension systems he knows why each screw in the car is there and what changing it can do to the car. Now, if he tries he can open the door without triggering the alarm, there is no question of it, he can hot wire the car, change its engines performance, modify almost anything and even remove every security feature in it.
This is how being a hacker feels like, being so good and knowledgeable about the system that you can practically modify any aspect of it to your needs. It is not just getting over security but changing stuff, creating new stuff and even inventing new technologies. It all comes down to how well you understand the system.
To become a good hacker, you need to start learning how a computer works rather than how to hack into a system. You need to start with basic programming and scripting, learn it well and understand the possibilities, then move on to HTTP servers such as Apache and HTTP by itself, learn how servers handle request, how message goes from one side to another, how is the security stuff implemented, where is the passwords stored, can it be read.
Ethical hacking courses that are provided today are more like a course to hot wiring, there is no guarantee you will ever get into the car, you will never know what to do if the car has an alarm.
