Photo by on Nahel Abdul Hadi Unsplash When you hear the word 'hacking', the first thing that pops in your head is how cool they look in the movies—I mean, they are cool in real life as well, but it is not the same. Hackers are not only there to break into your websites or accounts; they are there to provide security and improve it as well. They do it by finding different ways to break into an application—these are called vulnerabilities, and they report them to the company that owns the application. The company then sees to it that it does not happen again by improving their security. In this blog, I am going to be sharing the roadmap and the resources that you can use to become an ethical hacker.
