Hey tamilan,

You cannot right away own an ethical hacking company. You have to be a certified hacker for that first. For this there are things that you have to do prior.

About hacking

Firstly you have to be well aware of hacking and what goes behind it. There are different types of hackers for different purposes – White Hat, Black Hat and Grey Hat. White Hats and Grey Hats generally use their hacking skills for the good (ethical hacking), while Black Hats use their skills for illegal jobs. Since they serve different motives, organizations make use of all of them. You would want to focus on becoming a Penetration Tester, since most ethical hackers are employed for this job. “Penetration Testing” identifies the vulnerabilities in a system or an application to protect it from external attacks. It is carried out to inform the organization of the faults in their system.

Eligibility

There are no fixed criteria to becoming a hacker. Every company has its own requirements, but a degree in Computer Science, Information Technology or Mathematics will lay a great foundation for your ethical hacking career. Apart from this, the skills you need to be an ethical hacker are good problem solving, ability to handle pressure and to think out of the box

As an ethical hacker, you are going to be working on systems day in, day out, thus a good command over programming languages such as C++, Java, PHP, Python, et cetera is critical. Also, learn about operating systems such as UNIX, Windows, LINUX and IOS. There are websites that offer programming courses such as Coursera, Udemy, Simplilearn, and the likes which offer courses.

Your learning should not be limited by your educational background. There are newer hacking techniques coming up every day so you need to be updated. Companies wouldn’t want to hire you only because you have a certification, you have to be different, stand out and be good at the job.

For working in the field of cyber-crime and other professions like that you will have to get certified. The most-trusted body that you can get certified with is the EC Council. Most companies would readily hire you, if you have this certification. To get certified, you would need to take a four-hour test which consists of 125 questions.. The EC Council also recommends you to take a five-day training for this test, which is optional. The present version of the test is V9, and it is valid for 3 years. You are required to take the certification test again, every time a new version is released. the EC is also the highest authority but the laws and regulatory bodies would be different depending on the country you are in and in which sector you are trying to get a job in.

prospects.

Almost all the MNCs employ full-time ethical hackers; you can also find work in Hacking Consulting Companies, Military Service as well as Server Provider companies. You can start your own firm or business. after meeting all the qualifications and required expertise there is nothing stopping you from having your own hacking company. You could take inspiration from Stephen Wozniak who was an ex hacker and went own to co find apple.

Happy hacking!
