Hacking deals with breaking into a computer network, system or internet entity by exploiting its weaknesses and/or loopholes. There are two sides to hacking – ethical hacking and black hat hacking (regular hacking).

Ethical hacking has a lot of scope and Governments, MNCs, Big Brands, Tech giants, IT firms – all of them hire ethical hackers with the aim of keeping their systems and networks free from security vulnerabilities.

Skills required to thrive in this field are –

  • Sound technical knowledge (related to computers, networking, database etc)
  • Eye for detail
  • Patience
  • Good programming skills
