My Journey — from a complete Noob to becoming a successful ethical hacker.
My name is Harshit Koli an Electrical engineering student and an ethical hacker. I’m gonna Narrate my journey from a complete noob to becoming a successful ethical hacker. I have to start from a scratch and way to avoid a long answer ,I am going to cover up only some Scenario , To make a long story short . When I was in school (11th-12th) , I was really fond of hacking but I was not knowing how it works , I thought we can hack into any social media using some Facebook Hacking Tool or some online hacking tool since it was user friendly , I used to download and used to enter the victim details and type of attack brute force or Dictionary attack. The fun fact is I thought I hacked into social media since I was getting “Attack Successful” as an output. I began to explore new things and installed Kali Linux on my computer and still I tried to hack into social media using bullshit commands then I started to read the new articles like hacking news and hacking tricks like Social engineering like Phishing or pharming . I was a Script kiddie but I was finally mastered social engineering Tricks.
Since Hacking Involves computer security and network I started to read Computer/security(Network) fundamentals book and many other books like CCNA , CEH CompTIA Security+ (Still reading some books), attend many webinars , watching DEFCON conference video .I started to explore new articles related to cyber security and new people. Dived into a dark web — Started exploring and joined some Infamous & famous Hacking Forum and IRC channel. Basic Programming would be part of studies and I never went deep into programming language like C ,C+…etc. Still, I have not reached my destination point still by hacking journey is ongoing. Still, I have a lot of things to tell you but sometimes It is very hard to put into words. I have reported 6–7 websites regarding there bug and eligible for the bug bounty ex-Release wire ,Instagram web, Facebook etc.
