80+ Best Free Hacking Tutorials | Resources to Become Pro Hackerhttp://www.fromdev.com/2013/07/Hacking­Tutorials.html
Learning to become hacker is not as easy as
learning to become a software developer. I
realized this when I started looking for learning
resources for simple hacking people do. Even to
start doing the simplest hack on own, a hacker
requires to have in depth knowledge of multiple
topics. Some people recommend minimum
knowledge of few programming languages like C,
Python, HTML with Unix operating system
concepts and networking knowledge is required
to start learning hacking techniques.
Though knowing a lot of things is required, it is
not really enough for you to be a competent and
successful hacker. You must have a passion and
positive attitude towards problem solving. The
security softwares are constantly evolving and
therefore you must keep learning new things with a really fast pace.
If you are thinking about ethical hacking as a career option, you may need to be prepared for a lot of hard/smart work. I hope these free resources
will help you speed up on your learning. If you decide you pursue ethical hacking as a career option, you may also want to read some
.
A lot of people (including me before doing research for this article) think that they can become a hacker using some free hacking tools available on
web. Its true that some common types of hacking can be easily done with help of tools, however doing it does not really make you a hacker. A true
hacker is the one who can find a vulnerability and develop a tool to exploit and/or demonstrate it.
Hacking is not only about knowing "how things work", but its about knowing "why things work that way" and "how can we challenge it".
Below are some really useful hacking tutorials and resources you may want to explore in your journey of learning to hack
These tutorials are not really simple for anyone who is just starting to learn hacking techniques. However, these should be simple starting point for
you. I am sure you have different opinion about complexity of each tutorial however advanced hacker are going to be calling this a job of script
kiddie (beginner hacker). Even to acquire the skills of a script kiddie you need to have good understanding of computer fundamentals and
programming.

Some of the research papers by security experts and gurus can provide you a lot of information and inspiration. White papers can be really difficult
to read and understand therefore you may need to read them multiple times. Once you understand the topic well, reading will become much faster
and you will be able to skim through a lot content in less time.
Those who like to watch video tutorials, here are few I liked. However there are many small video available on youtube. Feel free to explore more
and share with us if you like something.
Just like any other area, forums are really great help for learning from other experts. Hundreds of security experts and ethical/non­ethical hackers
are willing to share their knowledge on forums for some reason. Please keep in mind to do enough research before post a question and be polite to
people who take time to answer your question.

Vulnerability Databases are the first place to start your day as a security professional. Any new vulnerability detection is generally available through
the public vulnerability databases. These databases are a big source of information for hackers to be able to understand and exploit/avoid/fix the
vulnerability.
Some of the very popular products in the world require a special attention and therefore you may want to look at the specific security websites
directly from vendors. I have kept Linux. Microsoft and apache in this list, however it may apply to any product you may be heavily using.
There are dozens of tools available for doing different types of hacking and tests. Tools are really important to become more productive at your
work. Some of the very common tools that are used by hackers are listed here. You may have different choice of tools based on your own comfort.

I have tried to compile some of these resources for my own reference for the journey of learning I am going to start. I am not even at a beginner
level of becoming hacker but the knowledge of this field really fascinates me and keeps me motivated for learning more and more. I hope will be
able to become successful in this.
A lot of people use their knowledge skills for breaking stuff and stealing. I personally think that doing harm to someone is a weak choice and will
not have a good ending. I would recommend not to use your skills for any un­ethical endeavor. A single misuse of your skill may jeopardize your
career since most companies do a strict third party background check before they hire a ethical hacker or a security personal.
There are dozens of companies looking for ethical hackers and security professionals. There are really good number of opportunities in this area
and its really niche compensation segment. You will be easily able to get a decent job without even acquiring all the expert level skills to become a
pro hacker.
