    Hi!!

    I am thinking to join a professional ethical hacking classes. Is there is any scope of hacking? I mean I want to make a living from that.

    I was just wondering that if people also hire hackers with a good pay.

    Hacking as in hacking into the pentagon or hacking as in being a hacker. And my cousin is a comp repair guy but i don't know what kind of money he is making. But there is a big need for those people ::)

    If its for good purpose then surely many companies or people need it.
    I have seen some people who were called abroad due to their hi-tech hacking techniques !

    Don't tell me it is Ankhit Fadia's hacking course.

    If it is, drop the idea.

    There are better ways to waste your money.!

    To akki313,
    Let me know whether hacking is legal? Even if you like hacking into someone's account, never tell anyone. Else, problem will follow you.

    There is a lot of scope for security persons. So ethical hacking is good. But every thing has it's own dark side. You won't be able to resist in doing bad things with your knowledge. I bet. Once you go into this dark world it's really difficult to get out. So choose wisely. If you are confident that you won't go the bad way, then there is great scope in this.

    enough of blah blah.. :rolleyes:

    yea its good pay :) you would be looking at Encryption/Security Analyst jobs things that look into IT risk & fraud. Hacking is a good thing its just the press that give it a bad name with out hacking nothing would improve.

    Hacking is good pay, a lot of big name companies like eTrust would hire you for their ethical hacking program which hacks sites eTrust secured and help them secure flaws ;)

    There is a fairly high demand for ethical hackers these days with a lot of companies wanting to make their sites or whatever much more secure.

    I would watch out though, you need to really read up on the laws surrounding hacking and stick to them. I was told a story from one of my lecturers at uni (who teaches ethical hacking) about a person who did ethical hacking and decided to hack into his company's website to see if it was secure (because it was an ethical hacking company he thought it would be), story cut short he lost his job because of it and was fined quite a lot of money.

    Hacking is just being able to use a computer and getting it to do what you want. Nothing wrong with making money of that.

    Take my word, if you really have interest in Hacking, and quite comfortable with coding and programming and are keen to spend hours upon hours to break and make the code, go for it. Otherwise drop the idea. There are hundreds of so called certified ethical hackers running over the street begging for jobs.

    Certainly demands are huge, but they all demand highly talented professionals, not just the so called programmer.
