Hello,
I cannot predict whether the company will grant you an internship or not, but I can surely say that they will surely lodge a complaint against you and in no time, you will have the cops chasing you. To be an intern in a company, you need to respect the company's effort, the pain taken by the company owners to establish it, and its culture. Hacking into the company's website to seek an internship shows that you disrespect the company, threatening them to provide you a certain advantage and in this case, you are more likely to receive no as an answer even though how deserving you are.
Further, no company is interested in hiring hackers. They very well understand that hacking someone else's information could lead them to legal trouble, and they would not risk that. They are rather more interested in the counterpart of ethical hacking - known as Security Specialist Officers who deal with how they can secure the information and infrastructure of the company to ensure privacy and confidentiality of the information.
I hope this answers your question.

Hello,
You should not get too fascinated with ethical hacker as they show in movies. Most of the institutes provide just a basic fancy certification course under the name of ethical hacking, just to attract students and earn more.
I would rather recommend you to go for security specialist professionals. These jobs are highly payable and in high demand as most companies need them to protect their own data.
You can go to some reputed computer training institutes like NIIT, etc. You can go for Java courses followed by networking courses and CCNA/ CCNB (CISCO) courses. After this, you can also option for CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) certification courses, if you wish to.
You need to ensure that you pursue these courses alongside a degree course, BCA, B.Tech, B.Sc, etc. for better outcome.
Further, in no circumstances can this profession be served as on a self-employment basis. Pursuing this profession needs grants and license from the government, which is not given to individuals and are only provided to a few companies who satisfy certain prerequisites.
I hope this answers your question.

Ethical hacking is one of the tool set used to test how secure the network is and is generally employed by the enterprise. In this with all the current functionality ethical hackers try to control the network to test if there is any flaws in the system, and later fix them.
There are many courses available for the same. Ethical Hacker tries to get into the network without using any organisation power and passwords. They detect if any foreign element can use the system without concern. Later this is documented and fixed by the system engineers.

Hello,
There are particularly two aspects, one when you look from the normal consumer point of view other from the company/industry point of view.
When we say of technology, no technology will be thrown away its just the tools will become much more advanced and powerful.
These cloud services have the back end supported by lots of codes and programming languages. For example if one needs to create a PaaS (Platform as a Service) to simplify a SQL database, then the system is most likely to be made with the help of Mongo. The value of the PaaS is that some of the common DB Administration tasks and System Administration tasks will be absorbed by the service or if you may want to function a AWS RDS service for higher performance of database you may option for Open Source technology.
Hence, in short cloud has made the technology quicker and smarter but not made technologies obsolute from an enterprise point of view.

Hi,
Being a Java J2EE developer for more than 3 years, what I understood from my experience is that, there are still wider/ larger scope for these technologies.
If you are pretty good in the most basic concepts of Java (abstraction, polymorphism, inheritance, naming conventions etc. ) you would find it easier to learn and grasp other technologies, which is an added advantage for Java developers.
However, once you are inside an organisation as a Java developer, you would find too many Java resources surrounding you ( which is a bitter truth obviously :) ). So, to stand out of the crowd, it would be always helpful to learn or to to get into project works on Java frameworks such as Structs, Spring, Hibernate, ATG etc.
Also, UI look and feel for web based applications are given predominant considerations nowadays. So don't ever loose a chance where you are getting chances to closely work with UI frameworks.
I was telling these based out of my short experience till date in IT field. Please be updated and be in pace with evolving industry, keeping in mind the fact that ' Change is inevitable' :)
All the best.

Hi,
These are some of your options today as a JavaScript developer.
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/JQuery: You can make stand alone websites or websites that connect to a back-end, which will be handled by a separate team. You might have to work on frameworks such as Bootstrap and Semantic UI (which make your job a lot easier once mastered).
Angular/ Backbone/ React/ Vue/ Ember: All of these are JavaScript frameworks/libraries for building single page, highly interactive websites. Consider these as an icing on top of everything mentioned in the previous point. All of these solve the same problem differently, and you will have to work with whatever suits your or your employers needs.
Node JS: Thanks to Node, you can also dive into the back end/server side programming without having programmed in any other language except JavaScript.
The MEAN/MERN stack: Pick an MV* framework from point 2, add Node from point 3, and throw in a database (Mongo DB in this case). There, you are now a full stack JavaScript developer. Okay, you are not, but you just added a lot of value to yourself.
Mobile/cross platform app development with Ionic/PhoneGap/React Native: All of these use JavaScript and other supporting technologies. Not many people take them seriously though.
There are also complete solutions like Meteor, which pretty much handle the back end for you, and let you focus on the UI. You can choose from Angular, Blaze, and React for the UI.
To sum it up, there are ton of opportunities right now, but that doesnt mean its going to be like this forever. If we were talking about something rock solid, like Java, I could rest easy knowing my job is secure, at least for a while. With the web, its a new, shiny thing everyday. We love jumping wagons.
All the best.
