Ethical Hacking Syllabus: Beginner Level

Almost Everyone visiting this website wants to become a great Hacker but doesn’t know where to start. Even you might be willing to do the same. Do you have the same questions in mind like I used to have when I started to Learn Hacking. The biggest problem I faced was not having a dedicated Ethical Hacking syllabus or beginner Level Ethical Hacking Syllabus. I used to have many questions in my mind like -

• Where should I start to Learn Hacking
• What should I do to become a Hacker
• What are the steps to be followed to become a hacker
• Are there any pre-requisites to become a Hacker
• From where did all these Pro Hackers Learn all this cool Stuff

And many more questions. But I never had an answer to them in the beginning. Well I don’t want the fans of Learn Hacking to face the same issues. You should stop asking questions to yourself like :-

• How to Hack
• How to become a Hacker

And get started with the Hands on training.

In the previous post of Learn Hacking we told you How to Become a Hacker. Always remember one thing, no one can only motivate you or teach you the basics. Its your will power and practical experience that will help you become an expert Ethical Hacker or I must say a Cyber Security Expert. I like to be called a Cyber Security Expert rather than a Hacker (Personal Choice).

Resons You Should Switch to Ubuntu

So, here are reasons why you, too, should make the switch :)

1>>It's Absotutely Free and Open Source.


Everything about Ubuntu is free. Just download the ISO, burn it
to a CD and enjoy.
Most of the apps you use (all I use even) are also free.
Because of this Ubuntu can handle all your updates,
installations and uninstallations with a breeze.

Simply open the "Update Manager" and it'll let you know which
of your apps (yes, all your installed apps) have updates or new
versions. Using the "Application Center" you can browse
categorized applications and install them with a click.

There's plenty of top-lists over the best Ubuntu-apps just a
Google away. I think you might be surprised how much is
available.

2>>It's Configurable Like Crazy.


Whether you prefer the Windows-look, the Mac-look or the
Minority Report-look (:) Ubuntu will not disappoint.

Almost everything is configurable and if it's not you can just
download more configuration tools or desktop enhancements.

If you haven't checked out Compiz on YouTube yet I suggest
you do. It's pretty amazing stuff.

Things You can't do in Windows

Well we all know that windows is very user friendly because of its easy accessibility and world wide popularity. Most of the people using any windows OS think that they can do anything on windows, but that’s not so.

For eg:-

Try to create a folder in Windows with either of these names–
“con” or “nul” or “Aux” or “Lpt1″.
Windows will not let you create ….
This s because these refer 2 some well known ports….
-con corresponds to the console
-Lpt1 corresponds to printer and so on….

Well that was common but how about this ? Try these more.. The full list that is not available so easily..

CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9.

Note:- This trick works with all the version of windows.
