Hacking for Beginners The perfect Guide

Are you a beginner who wants to learn hacking but don’t know where to start? If so you are at the right place. Since most of the books and free resources on the Internet are only meant for those who already have a considerable amount of knowledge on the subject, they fail to teach hacking for beginners. Therefore, I have decided to come up with this post that gives useful tips for beginners on how to kick start their journey to becoming a hacker.

What is the Best Way to Learn Hacking for Beginners?

Consider the following steps:

Step-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 alternative operating systems Linux, whose knowledge is very important in the field of hackers. The more you learn about the basics, the more easy it is to find vulnerabilities and exploits device. Once you develop a basic understanding of the basic concepts, you'll be able to easily understand various hacking techniques that will be in practice.

Step-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.
So, I decided to put together all my 10+ years of experience in the field and come up with a book for beginners called Hacking Secrets Exposed which demands no prior knowledge of the topic and is easy for the readers to follow and understand at every step. This book also comes packed with all the necessary fundamental concepts (as mentioned in the step-1) so that readers can find them all at one place. Therefore, I recommend this book for all those beginners who have a dream to start off their journey to becoming a hacker. This is an excellent source of knowledge for all those who have a little or no prior background of hacking.

Step-3: Learn Programming (Optional)

If you want your hacking skills to take a step ahead, the programming is something that you do not skip below. Although you can easily find a lot of ready-made tools and programs that allow you to chop with ease, it is always better to have some basic knowledge of programming languages such as HTML, PHP and JavaScript, so you and be able to create your own to develop tools exploit code. However, if you do not want to learn how to program, you can skip this step and still be a good hacker.

How Long does it Take to Master the Skills of Hacking?

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.
