Hi.

Ethical hacking, also known as penetration testing, is legally breaking into computers and devices to test an organization's defenses. It's among the most exciting IT jobs any person can be involved in. You are literally getting paid to keep up with the latest technology and get to break into computers without the threat of being arrested

There seems to be a general misconception that a person with an ethical hacking career is only responsible for penetration testing of systems and applications. This is not true, and an ethical hacker is responsible for much more.

• Scanning open and closed ports using Reconnaissance tools like Nessus and NMAP
• Engaging in social engineering methodologies
• Examining patch releases by performing vigorous vulnerability analysis on them
• An ethical hacker will see if he/she can evade IDS (Intrusion Detection systems), IPS (Intrusion Prevention systems), honeypots and firewalls
• Ethical hackers can employ other strategies like sniffing networks, bypassing and cracking wireless encryption, and hijacking web servers and web applications

An Ethical Hacker can apply for following job profiles:

• Information Security Analyst
• Security Analyst
• Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH)
• Ethical Hacker
• Security Consultant, (Computing / Networking / Information Technology)
• Information Security Manager
• Penetration Tester

Salary will depend on which job profile, you aim for.

There are no exclusive bachelor's degree or diploma for ethical hacking. However, after 12th you should give JEE Mains for B.Tech in Computer Science or IT, which will provide you computer knowledge to pursue ethical hacking for an online course based on your interest.
