Hello everybody and welcome back to this lecture.
And right now we're going to talk about different ways you can approach the ethical hacking field and
by approach I mean what you can do in order to learn the best in order to find the newest information
and in order to finally after you learn everything get your own first job.
OK.
So first of all let's talk about what are these certificates and should you get them.
Now we mentioned that in previous video I told you some of these certificates for the Ethical Hacking
field.
But now let's talk about whether that is something that you really need or whether you can actually
continue without them.
Now there are a bunch of these certificates for this field whether or whether there are ones that are
accepted accepted in the entire world or whether they are the ones that are in your own country.
For example I have.
I will show you right now some of the certificates in my own country and I will discuss whether that
is something that you really need or whether that is something that would be a waste of time and money.
OK.
So first of all there are multiple ways to approach this field.
You can start by going into a school that basically teaches ethical hacking or to university not school.
I don't really think they teach that in schools.
You can take video courses online with your courses.
You can get private lessons.
You can after all of that get certificates.
OK.
So first of all let's talk about the certificates and do they offer something.
Well let us go and show you an example of my country and what they actually offer right here in terms
of ethical hacking and what you can learn.
Now before I actually do show you let me just go right here and just open the page it is w w simply
learn dot com go right here.
Let me just see.
This is an actual Web site right here that will offer the ethical hacking.
You just go right here.
Let me just find it if I go.
Right.
I t it should be somewhere here testing master's program.
Let us just go right here and add it.
So it is I believe slash and then top ethical hacking
certifications
to consider article.
OK.
So here it is.
And as it is right here you can simply just visit this page and tell your top three ethical hacking
certifications.
Now basically a read here is something that we already passed.
Whether you actually want to become an ethical hacker by becoming ethical hacker and so on and so on.
And here are the actual certificates as we can see Certified Ethical Hacker is the broadcast of available
certification options.
Now basically this is the most the known as a certified justification for becoming the ethical hacker
as you can see right here if you simply just click right here it will lead you to the page where you
can actually have different types of course as you can see Certified Ethical Hacker training program.
It is currently Version 10 you can take a look at this video if you want to.
You can read through all of this.
It says right here to be to beat the hacker you need to think like a hacker and so on and so on.
You have right here about this program when you can read some read something more about this current
program.
But right now we're not really going to
discuss this at the moment as you can see right here.
This is a shame of actually steps you should take.
First thing you should go with these certified net from defender then these Certified Ethical Hacker
after it you basically need to go to the ethical hacker practical way and basically pass these certificates
and earn it right after you do that.
You can go to the more advanced certificate which is the security analyst as we can see right here.
And after the expert level is the license Penetration Tester.
Now these are some of the certificates that you can take in order to actually get a career in this but
most of this stuff that you will learn mostly in the core and the in the advance certificates is something
that you can learn on line like 70 to 80 percent of things that you will learn in all of these preparation
programs in all of these certificates is something that you can basically get online.
Therefore is it really necessary to pay all of the actual money in order to have all of these certificates
just so you can get the job.
Well in some cases it is in some cases it is not.
If your file.
If you are making an application for a company that wants to have a certificate.
So they don't really need to check up on you.
They didn't really need to check your skills or they can just see you have LPT which is the license
penetration tester and therefore they will know that you have knowledge from this field.
But does it mean that someone with a license penetration test or certificate has more knowledge than
someone without.
Well that is not true.
It doesn't have to be so anyone that really wants to get into the ethical hacking can really learn everything
and become a master ethical hacker without even getting any of these certificates.
So don't really worry about that.
You can have them just you can show them or just you can actually show them to a certain company that
wants to see them.
And that doesn't want to harm you if you can have some.
OK.
Now these are some of these certificates to consider but right now let me show you some of the last
known certificates that you will find in your own country.
Then they will go through a certain program which will be a few weeks long and then they give you some
certificate.
Now in my opinion those certificates are a waste of time.
If you want to go and get the ethical hacking certificate get a real one which is accepted in the entire
world city such as CCH.
Now it doesn't have to mean that your country will provide you with a program that will not teach you
match or certificate that will not be valuable.
Most likely these CPA certificate is going to be easier than that but c e a certificate is basically
something that the entire world knows.
And once you actually show the certificate they know that you are certified ethical hacker.
OK.
But let us take a look at the examples of different courses and different programs that you can take.
Now apples for example in my own country right here if you just type w w w 80s see the R S then slash
and I will just type
right here it will lead us to a page where you can see now this is actually on my own language.
So just translated to English.
Just in case you really want to read something like here and you will notice right here that this is
and some website it is not even a city P.S. that offers basically some of the uh ethical hacking course
program and probably a certificate the end.
Now you can see right here ATC benefits practical exercises United workshop computer laboratory certified
lectures with engineering practices.
Now the payment right here you can see right here a number of hours 24 which is three hundred euros
which is something around I believe three hundred and twenty or thirty dollars or something like that.
It is not really that much but there are more uh pricing certificates and programs that will offer even
less hours of training.
So let us be real.
You can't really learn anything or you can learn but you can't really learn much stuff in 24 hours so
what kind of certificate do you want to achieve in a 24 hour training.
Basically you know here you can see the course.
But the course offers it is mostly everything that you need a fully certified ethical hacking certificate.
Just this is some different just this is different certificate it is in my own country as it sits right
here you will scan test hack and secure our system you will learn that there are five stages of ethical
hacking and how to approach targets to manage to break each time as we can see introduction what is
ethical hacking and who are the hackers.
What are the possible points of the attack or WASP bug hunting then after it goes into the second section
which is collecting information social engineering Google hacking IP scanning so on and so on.
And attacking on services and applications and at the end we have attacks on user computers smartphones
and Internet of Things devices.
And at the end hacking tools and techniques and all of this is supposed to be covered in 24 hours.
Now maybe it seems like it can be possible but in my case in my opinion if you want to cover all of
this in 24 hours you will not even briefly touch on each of these subjects because for example I can
talk about viruses only about viruses for 24 hours.
Now I can discuss I can code them I can show you different types of viruses different types of Trojans
and I can take hours and hours on each of these topics in order to explain everything.
And in order to show probably the practical lessons of everything and so on and so on.
So therefore in my opinion you can't really learn much in 24 hours once you cover all of this stuff
in that specific period of time.
And what this class offers you is 24 hours of training then you pay 300 euros and basically you have
the certificate that God knows who accepts right here and basically if you show this certificate to
someone they will ask you what this is.
Another example would be right here.
So w w w and I will just type here the actual uh link so deceased I am missing some letters O K X Ford's
slash course and
woops Yeah I will just quit right here.
I think it is this thing Kate is this is another example of the ethical hacking cause in my own country
as we can see right here.
I just translated to English once again and you can see right here brief description student get acquainted
with testing systems and networks hacker attempts in order to check the security of computer systems
methods of testing face of hacking tests computer programs and tools for the protection of computer
systems hacking of pilots networks and mobile platforms.
Now you can see right here the breach of course is six days in three hours which is even less than the
previous course which was 24 hours.
If you multiply multiply six days times three you will get 18 hours and the price for this is in my
currency.
But if you translate this to euros it will be around six hundred and fifty euros for 18 hours.
That is a lot of money for only 18 hours where you will basically learn nothing because you can't really
do anything in 18 hours you can joke they can show you stuff but they can show you everything they can
only touch on a few subjects and therefore in my opinion this course is also a waste of time.
You can get an online course that will have more than 18 hours of training and that will be like 60
times less price than this course right here.
So for example this is six hundred and fifty euros and on the EU to me or any other platform you can
get a course that will cover everything that its course covers in and in for example a 20 or 30 hours.
Now the problem right here is that this course does have a certificate therefore that is the reason
why this is so priced.
Basically they take a group of 20 students for example then they charge 700 euros for six days of education
which is a lot.
But that is just the current state of my country.
That is why this is so expensive.
Because right here in my country we are like five years away from or five years behind in the normal
country.
Therefore ethical hacking is only now getting discovered.
And in the future I believe it will get more and more important in my own country as well as well in
other countries.
So if you're from a poorer country and I am from Serbia you might want to actually take these real courses
these certified ethical hacking courses these license penetration mastery courses and then certificates
instead of these uh certificates and courses or training programs that are provided in your own country.
They are most likely going to teach you some simple some simple things and some things which will never
really need or that you will need but that are not really so useful.
Well as in a more advanced countries such as for example in the USA you have real courses that will
teach you real stuff.
Okay.
So for example the.
So to conclude I believe that these courses that are not really that known are a waste of time.
Now there are some of those who are not a waste of time.
You can simply just search in your own country.
You can just simply type ethical hacking course or ethical hacking training program and see whether
in your own city there is some physical ethical hacking education and by physical I mean you go there
you have a classroom they will teach you stuff and then you pay for a certain certificate and make sure
that you first of all check out whether that certificate is accepted because really anyone can just
set up a web page.
They just type a price of 300 euros 24 hours and they invite anyone to come over and pretend like they
know stuff and they can't really know it but make sure that that certificate is something that is accepted
and not something that you flash on federal company and devil ask you what is this.
We never heard of this.
And then they won't hire you.
Okay.
So another conclusion if you really want to have certificates in at clacking make sure to get these
ones right here.
This should be your priority.
And if you want to you can get different ones as well.
But as I said before it is not because this is the best course or best training program or best certificate
that you can have no.
Or pardon me the harder certificate that you can have.
This is because DCH is basically the most well known certificate fully Certified Ethical Hacker and
to whoever you show the certificate they will at least have heard about it once before even though it
could be that this for example this program right here.
The certificate is harder to get than decertify.
Ethical Hacking certificate.
But it doesn't even matter when your.
For example company that you want to have an application for has heard of b c h it hasn't heard of death
certificate.
Therefore this one is better.
Okay.
So basically that would be about it.
For this tutorial or this lecture.
Uh.
Hope you enjoyed it and I hope I will see you in the next one where we will touch on the subject of
video courses.
Hope I see you there and take care.
But.
