Ethical Hacking Course Review

By Hamza HAsnain

Ethical hacking means to use your hacking skills to try to find weaknesses and security holes in a system, the results of which can be later used to fix those problems and close the security holes which will ultimately lead to a more secure and robust system. Please understand that ethical hacking doesn’t mean your usual social networking hacking and some simple hacking tricks, it is a very broad field, involving many subjects and genres. 

Learning ethical hacking can be sometimes time consuming and difficult, as the beginners may get confused and overwhelmed by the amount of information online. Many times the beginners without any proper guidance may try to directly learn advanced things without any prior knowledge of the basics and the fundamentals. I get daily queries about from where to start learning about hacking and which ebooks and sources to refer. I usually don’t answer the queries because ethical hacking is a vast subject and it is difficult to predict in which type of hacking the leaner has interest in. So I would recommend first to understand about the field of ethical hacking and decide whether you are really interested in it.
Now to learn and get basic ideas about ethical hacking, I would suggest you to take same basic ethical hacking course. One such institution providing such course is Innobuzz. If you are an engineering student, I think you may be familiar with the name, they regularly conduct seminars and training programs in colleges. I did not attend one, some of my friends and cousin attended it. Later when I asked about it they said they where happy with innobuzz and that it was a good experience for the beginners who have no or very little idea about what ethical hacking really is.
