By the term "Hacker" the first image that comes to our mind is a person doing illegal activities using their computer, right? but the reality is may differ from it, a hacker is a technical expert who can use their skills in different ways like for solving a problem or creating one. Basically it"s totally depends upon the aim behind the hack that makes the hacker good or bad.
Hackers can be good people who use their skills to protect companies' or organizations' data and also help police to investigate a crime. So today I'll be going to share my personal views or suggestion that can be easily followed by anyone to be a good hacker.
Let me introduce myself before diving into this topic. My name is Mohit Saran and I am the founder of Hackersking Organization this website is also a part of this organization, as you may know, I created eBook guides and courses to teach people real-world hacking which may also be used in an illegal way but my aim is to introduce my students with actual hacking so they can protect others as well themselves. So there are some basic points you need to implement in your life to be a hacker:
Be a technical expert
Before doing anything, the first step you need to understand that you have to be a problem solver instead of complaining about it or you have to fix errors or problems you face while doing something with your PC or smartphone. Because when you solve problems yourself then you learn many new things which may not be written in your hacking books or courses.
See the working/logic behind the things
You can learn many things from the internet and also learn how to use hacking tools or Software but the main thing you need to ask yourself that how these tools or software work or how information or data flows between attacker to victim or server to client. If you don't know how tools/software or attack work in hacking then you can't be a good hacker you just end up as a script kiddo.
Think out of box
Out of the box, thinking means you have to be a good observer and see things uniquely and find the ways of indirectly or easily doing your work or in other words, find simple tricks that help you in big ways and if there is no trick then create one yourself as a good hacker.
Don't rush
Everyone wants to learn things fastly and then they just create an illusion in their mind that they learning everything but they just overviewing things and didn't learn anything. Here you don't need to learn big commands or many programming languages, just enjoy the process and understand things simply don't hurry or rush. There is a quote you keep in mind at that point "Forward is forward, your speed doesn't matter".
Hire a mentor
Instead of purchasing a bundle of courses or books, just contact an expert who you like in this field and like to learn from him. It saves you a lot of time which you waste on things that don't matter and also help you solve problems and share their experience which may also give you a boost in learning. More than this you can see how your mentor sees things and face problems or solve them and believe me you learn a lot from them.
