How to become a hacker?

Question

Information Security

I am very interested in information security. Unfortunately, there is no opportunity to study somewhere (courses, universities, etc.). There are many bright headlines about this on the net, but I have not found a clear answer (learn PL, learn UNIX, etc.). I really want to be good at this. For example, using Aircrack-ng, you can crack a Wi-Fi password. How it works? I ask knowledgeable people to write something about this.

Answer 1

learn PL, learn UNIX, etc.

Duc fir-burnt, the right advice! Or what are you waiting for here - that in a couple of minutes they will explain to you how aircrack-ng picks up a password? Do you understand the words? If I say "tarabumba tarabumba tarabumba and after a successful tababumba we get the password" - will it be very clear? So, the explanation will sound (for you now) about the same.
No, it's a good question in and of itself. But in order to answer it, you need to know:
- how wifi works
- how aircrack-ng works
And this, in turn, requires you to know a lot of other things, where each thing requires you to know a whole fucking mountain of things. And all together it is called "Education" :)
That is, you were absolutely rightly advised to start with computer science (programming languages ​​in which programs like aircrack-ng are written), mathematics (probability theory, encryption and decryption algorithms) and English (all the documentation of the world is written in it, in Russian - miserable pieces and not always new and correct)

Answer 2

A hacker is a very high-level specialist in programming, administration and information security.
Probably what you are looking for is penetration testing. Without knowledge for a hacker, you will become an ordinary script kid, which should really be a shame))

Answer 3

learn PL, learn UNIX, etc.

This is a good answer, for starters. why do you think that there will be some other answer?

Unfortunately, there is no opportunity to study somewhere (courses, universities, etc.).

If you can't learn, then you won't be anything.

Answer 4

There is more porridge)
But seriously, then dive into the intricacies of computer networks and operating systems. And when you reach a certain level - it will be seen there - you need it - to become a hacker, or there are more serious things ....
