Become A Hacker Types Of Cyber Attacks And Must Know Facts
Become A Hacker Types Of Cyber Attacks And Must Know Facts
Nowadays, every other college or school student wants to be a hacker. Due to media hype, the term hacker is considered both cool and criminal at the same time. Now, since my blog is basically about my journey into hacking, I receive many emails on how to become a hacker. "Im a beginner in hacking, how should I start?" or "I want to be able to hack my friends Facebook account" are some of the more frequent queries.
In this article I will attempt to answer these and more. I will give detailed technical instructions on how to get started as a beginner, how to evolve as you gain more knowledge and expertise in the domain and also describing the different types of cyber attacks and must know facts about hacking. Hacking is a skill. And you must remember that if you want to learn hacking solely for the fun of hacking into your friends Facebook account or email, things will not work out for you. You should decide to learn hacking because of your fascination for technology and your desire to be an expert in computer systems.
"Being a hacker is lots of fun, but its a kind of fun that takes lots of effort. The effort takes motivation."
The hacker mindset
In order to become a hacker, you must start thinking like one. We encounter all kinds of technology in our real life. Look at them from a hackers perspective by thinking of ways to hack them. Hacking is not only about computers. It is also about how you use logic and ingenuity to solve the problems you encounter in your day today life. Nothing is really hack-proof. Auto-rickshaw meters, electronic voting machines, electronic doors, biometric systems, cars and even a yatch have all been hacked in the past. Whenever you encounter any technology, think about how it can be exploited to perform another action. You should possess a natural curiosity for solving puzzles and taking up challenges.Read my previous post to know more: Understand The Hacker MindsetTo Become A Real Hacker
Know your technology
Becoming a hacker is no easy task. It will not happen in days or weeks. It will take you many months and even years to reach to the level where you can call yourself a hacker. The main reason for this is that being a hacker requires a lot of technical know-how. If you want to hack a computer, it only seems logical that you first know how it works, right? You should be familiar with the ins and outs of computers and know a little bit about everything in the IT domain. For this, you need to learn many things. This learning phase is when most aspiring hackers will give up.General IT knowledge:
· Learn how to install Windows and Linux. Use VirtualBox or VMware to practice this.
· Learn networking concepts like IP address, subnets, TCP/IP, OSI model, LAN,WAN
· Functions of switch, router, firewall, access point etc
· What is DNS, DHCP, SNMP, ARP, NAT?
· What is HTTP, FTP, Telnet, RDP, SSH, POP, SMTP, SSL, NetBios?
These bullet points are just bare minimum concepts, and you have to learn them thoroughly. For instance, you need to know how data travels through the OSI layers, and the role of each layer in the data transfer. I would recommend taking a networking course such as CompTIAs N+ certification.
Programming Languages
Programming knowledge is necessary, although not mandatory to become a hacker. Some of the worlds best hackers started out as programmers. If you know programming, you will be able to dissect code and analyze it. You will be able to write your own scripts or your own hacking tools. So, which programming language should you learn then? HTML and JavaScript are languages of the internet. So make sure you learn them first. they are also incredibly easy to grasp and learn. If your are enrolled in an undergraduate computer science degree, you will most probably be learning C,C++ and Java. These three major languages are good and you should keep learning them, but for a hacker, Python is the best language. "Why?" You ask. Because python is an extremely powerful language and it easy to learn at the same time. With Python you can achieve your results with minimal coding, and it does not need to be compiled. That means, just as you finish writing a script, you can immediately run it without having to compile it. And later on in life, if you decide to become a programmer instead of a hacker, Python can develop GUI applications also. In fact, a large part of YouTube is written in Python.Another language you should learn is PHP. PHP is also free and open source. It is a server side scripting language, meaning, login pages and other web based forms are handled by PHP. Knowledge of ASP. NET will also be helpful. You should also know MySQL commands and syntax. This knowledge will be vital later when you perform SQL injection attacks against websites. Download XAMPP package and start practicing PHP and MySQL
Another important thing to note is that most colleges will not teach you advanced programming concepts. File handling and Network socket programming are two very important concepts you should familiarize yourself with, regardless of the language.

Open Source
The hacker community is a big supporter of Open Source software. You should contribute to open source projects when you can. In order to improve your programming skills, you can start an open source project and work on it. Download the source code of popular open source projects and study the code. Sourceforge and Github are excellent starting points. Alternatively, start your own project and post the source code online. This will help you get recognition.Linux
The Windows operating system may be easy and convenient for most users, but it is certainly not suited for hackers. With the exception of few windows only tools, most hacking tools run best under Linux environment. I have given a list of top ten popular hacking tools, and most out of those 10 tools run best under Linux. You can use any Linux distribution like Ubuntu or Fedora, but BackTrack and Kali are two major Linux distros specifically designed for hackers. They come loaded with all the popular hacking tools, saving you from the trouble of downloading them yourself. If you are not comfortable with leaving windows as yet, you can use VirtualBox to install BackTrack in your system, or you can dual boot your operating systems.Information Technology is a huge field. If you look at your college or university, your professors know about programming concepts and theory, the System Administrator knows about networks and systems, the website developers know web programming and designing. You, as a hacker, must know all these things and more.
Even under the domain of hacking, there are many sub categories like web application security, network security, digital forensics, reverse engineering etc. Nobody can be good at everything. After you have adequate knowledge and experience in "general" hacking, you can choose a speciality and become an expert in it.

Different Types of Cyber Attacks
A cyber attack, in simple terms, is an attack on your digital systems originating from malicious acts of an anonymous source. Cyber attack allows for an illegal access to your digital device, while gaining access or control of your digital device.
A different types of cyber attacks can be defined as an offensive tactic to gain an illegal control or access to your digital device, called the target system, initiated by a person or a computer against a website , computer system or a single digital device as well as a whole, which poses a serious threat to computer systems, information stored, financial structures and the entire network itself. Cyber attacks work towards compromising the integrity of the digital device and the information stored in it.
1. Backdoors – Backdoor is a type of cyber threat in which the attacker uses a back door to install a keylogging software, thereby allowing an illegal access to your system. This threat can turn out to be potentially serious as it allows for modification of the files, stealing information, installing unwanted software or even taking control of the entire computer.
2. Denial-of-Service Attack – A denial-of-service or a DOS attack generally means attacking the network to bring it down completely with useless traffic by affecting the host device which is connected to the internet. A DOS attack targets websites or services which are hosted on the servers of banks and credit card payment gateways.
3. Direct-access Attack – A direct-access attack simply means gaining physical access to the computer or its part and performing various functions or installing various types of devices to compromise security. The attacker can install software loaded with worms or download important data, using portable devices.
4. Eavesdropping – As the name suggests, eavesdropping means secretly listening to a conversation between the hosts on a network. There are various programs such as Carnivore and NarusInsight that can be used to eavesdrop.
5. Spoofing – Spoofing is a cyber attack where a person or a program impersonate another by creating false data in order to gain illegal access to a system. Such threats are commonly found in emails where the sender’s address is spoofed.
6. Tampering – Tampering is a web based attack where certain parameters in the URL are changed without the customer’s knowledge; and when the customer keys in that URL, it looks and appears exactly the same. Tampering is basically done by hackers and criminals to steal the identity and obtain illegal access to information.
7. Repudiation Attack – A repudiation attack occurs when the user denies the fact that he or she has performed a certain action or has initiated a transaction. A user can simply deny having knowledge of the transaction or communication and later claim that such transaction or communication never took place.
8. Information Disclosure– Information disclosure breach means that the information which is thought to be secured is released to unscrupulous elements who are not trustworthy.
9. Privilege Escalation Attack – A privilege escalation attack is a type of network intrusion which allows the user to have an elevated access to the network which was primarily not allowed. The attacker takes the advantage of the programming errors and permits an elevated access to the network.
10. Exploits – An exploit attack is basically a software designed to take advantage of a flaw in the system. The attacker plans to gain easy access to a computer system and gain control, allows privilege escalation or creates a DOS attack.
11. Social Engineering – An attack by a known or a malicious person is known as social engineering. They have knowledge about the programs used and the firewall security and thus it becomes easier to take advantage of trusted people and deceive them to gain passwords or other necessary information for a large social engineering attack.
12. Indirect attack – Indirect attack means an attack launched from a third party computer as it becomes more difficult to track the origin of the attack.
13. Computer crime – A crime undertaken with the use of a computer and a network is called as a computer crime.
14. Malware – Malware refers to malicious software that are being designed to damage or perform unwanted actions into the system. Malware is of many types like viruses, worms, Trojan horses, etc., which can cause havoc on a computer’s hard drive. They can either delete some files or a directory or simply gather data without the actual knowledge of the user.
15. Adware – Adware is a software that supports advertisements which renders ads to its author. It has advertisements embedded in the application. So when the program is running, it shows the advertisement. Basically, adware is similar to malware as it uses ads to inflict computers with deadly viruses.
16. Bots – Bots is a software application that runs automated tasks which are simple and repetitive in nature. Bots may or may not be malicious, but they are usually found to initiate a DoS attack or a click fraud while using the internet.
17. Ransomware – Ransomware is a type of cyber security threat which will restrict access to your computer system at first and will ask for a ransom in order for the restriction to be removed. This ransom is to be paid through online payment methods only which the user can be granted an access to their system.
18. Rootkits – A rootkit is a malicious software designed in such a way that hides certain process or programs from normal anti virus scan detection and continues to enjoy a privilege access to your system. It is that software which runs and gets activated each time you boot your system and are difficult to detect and can install various files and processes in the system.
19. Spyware – Spyware, as the name suggests, is a software which typically spies and gathers information from the system through a user’s internet connection without the user’s knowledge. A spyware software is majorly a hidden component of a freeware program which can be downloaded from the internet.
20. Scareware – Scareware is a type of threat which acts as a genuine system message and guides you to download and purchase useless and potentially dangerous software. Such scareware pop-ups seem to be similar to any system messages, but actually aren’t. The main purpose of the scareware is to create anxiety among the users and use that anxiety to coax them to download irrelevant softwares.
21. Trojan Horses – Trojan Horses are a form of threat that are malicious or harmful codes hidden behind genuine programs or data which can allow complete access to the system and can cause damage to the system or data corruption or loss/theft of data. It acts as a backdoor and hence it is not easily detectable.
22. Virus – A computer virus is a self replicating program which, when executed, replicates or even modifies by inserting copies of itself into another computer file and infects the affected areas once the virus succeeds in replicating. This virus can be harmful as it spreads like wildfire and can infect majority of the system in no time.
23. Worm – Just like a virus, worm is a self replicating program which relies on computer network and performs malicious actions and spreads itself onto other computer networks. Worms primarily rely on security failures to access the infected system.
24. Phishing – Phishing is a cyber threat which makes an attempt to gain sensitive information like passwords, usernames and other details for malicious reasons. It is basically an email fraud where the perpetrator sends a legitimate looking email and attempts to gain personal information.
25. Identity Theft – Identity theft is a crime wherein your personal details are stolen and these details are used to commit a fraud. An identity theft is committed when a criminal impersonates individuals and use the information for some financial gain.
26. Intellectual Property Theft – Intellectual Property theft is a theft of copyrighted material where it violates the copyrights and the patents. It is a cybercrime to get hands onto some trade secrets and patented documents and research. It is basically a theft of an idea, plan and the methodology being used.
27. Password Attacks – Password attack is a form of a threat to your system security where attackers usually try ways to gain access to your system password. They either simply guess the password or use an automated program to find the correct password and gain an entry into the system.
28. Bluesnarfing – Bluesnarfing is a threat of information through unauthorized means. The hackers can gain access to the information and data on a Bluetooth enabled phone using the wireless technology of the Bluetooth without alerting the user of the phone.
29. Bluejacking – Bluejacking is simply sending of texts, images or sounds, to another Bluetooth enabled device and is a harmless way of marketing. However, there is a thin line between bluejacking and bluesnarfing and if crossed it results into an act of threat.
30. DDoS – DDoS basically means a Distributed Denial of Service. It is an attempt to make any online service temporarily unavailable by generating overwhelming traffic from multiple sources or suspend services of a host connected to the internet.
31. Keylogger – A keylogger is a spyware that has the capability to spy on the happenings on the computer system. It has the capability to record every stroke on the keyboard, web sites visited and every information available on the system. This recorded log is then sent to a specified receiver.

What is the Best Way to Become a Hacker?
As said earlier, the best way to turn yourself into a hacker is to start from the basics. You will have to master the basics to build a strong foundation. And once this is done, you’ll be in a position to explore new ideas and start thinking like a hacker. You can follow the below mentioned steps to start off your career as a hacker.20 Tips to Become a Hacker:
1. Begin with the Basics
For beginners who have little or no previous knowledge of hacking, it is always better to start off from the basics. Instead of directly learning how to hack, you can begin exploring more about topics such as computer networks, network ports, firewalls, common network protocols like IP address, HTTP, FTP, DNS, SMTP etc. along with how each of those stuffs work.You can also begin to learn more about alternate operating systems Linuxwhose knowledge becomes very much essential in the field of hacking. The more you learn about the basics, the more easy it is to find vulnerabilities and device exploits. Once you develop a basic understanding of the fundamental concepts, you will be in a position to easily understand various hacking techniques that are in practice.
2. Find a Good Source to Start Learning
If one has a fair amount of experience in the field of hacking, there exists so many books and websites that give out technical information on latest vulnerabilities along with possible ways to exploit them. However, for beginners it is hard to find sources that teach hacking right from the basics in a simple and easy to follow manner.3. Start by learning the fundamentals before attempting to do anything
Rather than unnecessarily trying to be one with no sound technical knowledge to back you up, you ought to start at the very beginning by having a sound knowledge in computers. A great way to dip your toes into the water, when you are confused about where to begin from is by understanding Unix. What many do not know is that Unix is the operating system of the internet. You can use the internet without learning about Unix, Yet you cannot become a hacker without learning Unix.
4. Begin by trying to learn the correct attitude of a hacker
If being a professional hacker is something which you are interested in, then make sure that you imbibe the correct attitude. It is of paramount importance that a hacker, besides knowing the intricate nuances of computer system as well as computer programming, knows that he or she does not need to adhere to any stereotype when it comes to hacking. There are a lot of negative things which are said and written about hackers, yet you should work as per what you want to do with your skill.

5. Know that not all hacking has to be a negative thing
Before you think that you rather not become a hacker, because there is so much negativity associated with it, you ought to remember that hacking is not always a negative thing. People that use their ability for negative use are commonly referred to as hackers, but this term is actually wrong, as such people should be correctly referred to as crackers. Crackers in a community are people that are involved in illegal as well as unethical things which you ought to steer clear off.
6. Gradually build on your ability to write in Hyper Text Mark Language
To become a professional hacker, it is not merely enough to have the correct attitude, you must know how to write in Hyper Text Mark Language, or html as it is popularly referred to as. When you see a website which is composed of pictures, images as well as text, it is all done through the use of HTML.You can write your HTML in any basic word processing program, like for example Notepad. It is not at all difficult to master the art of writing in HTML and over time you have to keep improving.Recommended: Programming Languages For Hackers And Learn It From Most 6 Helpful Websites
7. Do be proficient in more than one language of programming
Needless to say, before you can run, you ought to learn to walk, before you can write an essay you need to learn the alphabet, similarly, to become a hacker and break the rules, you need to be well versed in all the rules first. So keeping this in mind, a hacker has to have a sound and in depth knowledge in the language of programming. It is advisable to make use of a starting platform such as r3 or Kali. In addition to this a good language to start off with is ‘Python’ and for more serious work, C or C++.

8. Become a Creative and unconventional thinker
Hackers are known for their unconventional as well as creative bend of mind. To become a hacker you too must try and think of out of the box techniques when it comes to getting things done. There is no particular set of rules a hacker can follow to get his work done therefore it is up to him to assimilate all the textbook knowledge in programming which he or she has gained and to put it to use in a practical manner. There is no diploma course in hacking therefore to a large extent hackers must rely on their own expertise.
9. Read up some old pieces to get the true spirit of a hacker
To be a good professional hacker one think which you ought to imbibe is the spirit of a true hacker. It is practically impossible that you will imbibe this spirit on your own without any source of inspiration, therefore , for you it is advisable to read up some old pieces that might help you know what hacking is all about. Two examples of such old pieces include, ‘Jargon File’ as well as ‘Hackers Manifesto’ written by The Mentor, the technical issues addressed may be old but the essence surpasses the boundaries of time.10. Use your expertise to stand up against injustice and inequality
If you think you have what it takes to become a professional hacker, then you can put your knowledge to positive use by helping people in need. In such a case you can make your chief enemy those sources of authority that use their power in a bad way to withhold information from the common man or from weaker individuals. By doing this positive work you will become a crusader raising your voice for those individuals who are too afraid or even too backward to raise their voices on their own.
11. You can land a corporate job if that interests you
There are many people who have a joint interest for becoming professional hackers as well as landing a corporate job. If you are one of these people as well, then you need not worry at all, you can fulfill your dream. It is not a very well known fact that hackers are hired by big companies as well so as to ensure that all their data is very well protected. Since hackers know how other hackers work, therefore they will be able to take the necessary precautions as well as ensure any damage is minimal.
12. Learn about a number of operating systems, rather than just one
There are a number of operating systems that are being used across the globe and as a hacker it would greatly benefit you to learn about a number of different operating systems rather than being acquainted with only one. Apart from the popular operating system UNIX, there are numerous other ones as well. Windows is in fact one of the systems which is compromised most often and therefore you should have a working knowledge of a Microsoft System.Recommended:

14. Embark on a project to help you get in depth knowledge on computers
Being a hacker you must have all computer related knowledge at your finger tips. What can really help you is embarking on a self assigned project. A popular project which many hackers do is building a computer on their own right from scratch. This sounds like a lot of work and indeed it is, yet this has been a tried and tested method to help hackers improve on their work and get better acquainted with a computer as well as a computer system.
15. Carefully read up on tutorials for hacking which you can find online
There is a lot of information online as well, when hackers are looking for help or even information. In addition to the information, there are also several step by step tutorials online which are very helpful indeed. Figuring things out in your own way and in your own time is a good thing yet if you reach a dead end then you can always find answers for your queries online. They may not be the best, but they will certainly guide you in the right direction.
16. Keep a log book to document your progress
A method which scientists make use of to keep a track of the work they are doing is by maintaining a log book. If you wish to be a hacker, then this is something that you can do as well so that you know what all you have experimented with, what has worked successfully as well as what has not. In addition to this when maintaining a log book, it becomes easy for you to keep a track of what as well as how much you have been able to accomplish in a given span of time.17. It is advisable to work alone rather than in a team
Becoming a hacker is not a very popular job that people opt for and given the general job description it is always advisable to work on your own. This does not imply that you cannot seek good council from friends or colleagues, but it has been noticed that working in solitude yields more positive results in general.
18. Continuous practice is a must
Once you become a hacker you cannot possibly assume that your studying or practicing days are over. If you want to succeed it is up to you to keep up with the changing times in terms of advancements in programming and make sure that you do your studying well, such that you are not left behind in the rat race. There are a number of individuals who choose to become hackers, for the sheer thrill of the fact that they can constantly as well as continuously gain more information with each passing day.
19. Do participate in several hacking challenges online
Healthy competition has proved as a highly effective way of making us give our hundred percent at all times. To improve on your skill and ability you can participate in a number of hacking challenges online where you can test yourself as well as find out, as opposed to others in your field, where you stand and how you perform. As a professional hacker you will have to brace yourself to work under pressure, so this can be an excellent way for you to gauge, how quickly you are able to act when the going gets tough.
20. Use your knowledge responsibly or the consequences could be dire
When choosing to take up a career as a professional hacker you must remember that in the course of your career there will be many temptations where you might want to use the wealth of knowledge which you have for negative purposes. Yet, you ought to remember that ‘hacking ‘in the negative sense if used, has serious as well as dire consequences as it has been deemed illegal by the law. So keeping this in mind this should be reason enough for you to not indulge in any illegal and unethical actions.
So these are some of the tips you can follow on how to become a hacker. Hacking is an extremely complex thing which cannot be accomplished by everyone. It is only after learning the very basics and mastering them, one can go on to become a good professional hacker. These steps are exhaustive and difficult to execute, yet it is important to remember than you should put all the knowledge you have acquired to positive use rather than wasting it on doing something negative.
Final Words
Since hacking is not something that can be mastered overnight, you should never be in a hurry to get going. It requires knowledge, skills, creativity, dedication and of course the time. Depending upon the amount of effort and dedication you put, it can take up anywhere between a few months to few years to develop all the the necessary skills. Everyone can become a hacker provided they learn it from the basics and build a solid foundation. So, if you want to be a hacker all you need is passion to learn, a good source of knowledge that will guide you through the basics and some perseverance.So these are some of the tips you can follow on how to become a hacker.

Become A Hacker Top Books To Learn Ethical Hacking
Become A Hacker Top Books To Learn Ethical Hacking
Hacking is considered to be a two-way tool the place in a computer system is penetrated both to make it extra secure or to create a mischief. Ethical hacking is defined as making use of programming abilities, in order to penetrate a computer system and decide its vulnerabilities. The ethical hacker is skilled specialists, usually referred to as the “white hats”. As towards non-ethical hacker or “black hats” that penetrate into a computer system and exploit it for their very own private gain or mischief, the “white hats” consider and point out the vulnerabilities of system software, and recommend system changes to make it less penetrate.
The word hacking can sound a bit frighting and trigger some negative responses from people around you. A common misunderstanding is that all hackers are criminals. They use their skills to break in to your computer and steal valuable information. Of course there are people that use their skills for criminal actions but far from all of them.
A lot of hackers work as security-consultants or penetration-testers. They are hired by companies and organizations that wants to investigate what vulnerabilities they have in their systems. That way they can be ahead of the criminals.
You can also work with bug-bounties. Companies and organizations can sign up to organized bug-bounty programs. They allow hackers to try and break their systems such as their website. If the hacker finds a vulnerability he or she then reports back to the company. If you find something you get a reward, usually in the form of money.
BEST HACKING BOOKS
Their are two types of hacking books. If you are new to programming and computer science you should read at least one of each.The first type gives you a good understanding of how stuff works. If you want to learn how to hack web applications for example you need to have a good understanding of how the web works. You also want to know what the common vulnerabilities are for different systems and how you prevent attacks today.
The second type is for hands on practice. You can read and follow the examples.
BEST HACKING BOOKS FOR GENERAL UNDERSTANDING
I always encourage people to develop a general understanding of the subject that they want to learn. That way you have a good base to build on. In the long run this will save time. In hacking that means reading about security. I have picked out my two favorite books about security for you to look at. Both of them will do just fine.
- Computer and Information Security Handbook Second Edition
- The InfoSec Handbook: An Introduction to Information Security
Number 1 is my choice. If you have the patience to read through a thousand pages of highly technical content this book will make it well worth your time. You will get a great overview of all computer related security and an understanding of why certain parts of the technology is more vulnerable than others.
If you want something on a more basic level I would go with number 2. You will find it easier to read. Be aware that hacking and security are complex topics. You wont come far with just basic knowledge. So be prepared to spend hours on learning.
BEST HACKING BOOKS FOR HANDS ON PRACTICE
The best way to learn is by doing. You will find this to be true whatever the subject might be. When it comes to hacking you might be a bit scared to start out. Luckily for us there are good resources that help you get started in a legal way. The best hacking books to help you with this that I have read is the following:
- The Hacker Playbook 2: Practical Guide To Penetration Testing
- Black Hat Python: Python Programming for Hackers and Pentesters
- Metasploit: The Penetration Testers Guide
The one that offer the most practical practice is as you might have guessed the first one. It is also a little bit easier to read if you dont have any prior experience. In any case all of these books are some of the best in the area. If you want more hands on practice you should turn to the internet. There are sites that offer catch the flag exercises which is a great way to develop your skills.
BEST HACKING BOOKS FOR DIFFERENT TARGETS
If you have some technology that you are interested in you might want to find a book related to that. It can be anything from mobile applications to IoT systems. Everything technological have some security issue. You might find it easier to learn security if it relates to a technology that you know.A great book-series for new hackers with an interest in web technologies is the Hackers Handbook series. It consists of a number of books, all of them with a certain attacking-target. The most popular books in the series are:
- The Web Application Hackers Handbook
- The Browser Hackers Handbook
- The Mobile Application Hackers Handbook
- iOS Hackers Handbook
- Android Hackers Handbook
Since these technologies are similar to each other reading one of these books will help you with the next one. So you can pick which ever you find the most interesting and then continue from there. They are all well written and contains good examples and explanations. My personal favorite is number one. Mostly because it contains the most information. It is a bit more general than the others.
CONCLUSION
You dont need to be a professional programmer to be a hacker, but it will help you. Hacking is a complex topic. You have to spend time on learning. What makes it even more difficult is that security always changes. If you learn a way to attack a web application today that might not work tomorrow. To be a great hacker you need to keep your skills updated at all times.Learning about security is very important for developers as well. You need to create secure applications. The best way to learn security is to take the attackers perspective. Having knowledge in hacking will make you a better developer.
What ever your reason for learning hacking might be I hope you will use it for good.
