I am a plus two Commerce student and I want to become an ethical hacker. Someone said that it is better to take Diploma in Cyber Security. Is it this course good enough to become an ethical hacker? Any other courses available?

Qualifications of an ethical hacker should posses Bachelor's degree in information technology (IT) or an advanced diploma in network security.

Apart from this,candidate must have extensive experience in the area of network security and should have a working knowledge of various operating systems.

When you have knowledge about the fundamentals of IT, then you can know how to break some of the underlying vulnerabilities within computer architecture.

You can go CCNA courses,programming like C++, Python/Ruby, and PHP,get familiar with MySQL and MSSQL databases ,learn UNIX/LINUX operating system.

You need to master the art of cryptography (Encryption and Decryption )
