Roadmap and Resources to Become an Ethical Hacker

When you hear the word Hacking, the first thing that pops in your head is how cool they look in the movies. I mean they are cool in real life as well. But it does not look the same in real life. Hackers are not only there to break into your websites or accounts. They are there to provide security and improve it as well.

They do it by finding different ways to break into an application — These are called vulnerabilities, and they report them to the company that owns the application. The company then sees to it that, it does not happen again by improving their security.

In this blog, I am going to be sharing the Roadmap and the resources that you can use to become an Ethical Hacker.
