As i was also aiming to become as one of the HACKER ,
But simple techniques of Hacking which teaching in centers are irrelevant to my studies as i am MCA and not that much effective on the Big servers , Firewall routers etc.
Before 6 months a programmer told that the real hackers are otherwise called as super programmers and should know about languages & operating system .
c,c++,java,python are the languages used on servers tools like eclipse & os solaris are really needed for hacking with the servers
Operating systems - starting with LINUX & Unix are completely known for the hackers & should know to delete the virus manually , Completely known on the worms & trojans creating with C language
He told me start with Linux , i started with RHCE last 5 months now only I am Certified , gosh i am really forgeting about hacking aims now this is really for Advanced and heavy brains !!
I am only poor brain
some how i got sick with is hacking ,, any way RHCE , CCNA & MCA degree will get me job atleast
May be next life i ll be trying from my birth
