Here's How You Can Become An Ethical Hacker

 If viruses, DDoS attacks or buffer overflows interest you, then you can consider becoming a ethical hacker. Businesses and government-related organizations who want to keep their network secure need ethical hackers and penetration testers to assist them in probing and improving their networks, applications, and other computer systems.




As stated on www.csegecworld.in, here are some qualities that you need to have to become an ethical hacker - 

1. Soft Skills – Ethical hacking is not entirely technical. You need to possess soft skills with a robust work ethic, a good problem-solving and communications skills, and the ability to remain motivated and dedicated. Ethical hackers also require to be street smart, possess people skills, and have talent for manipulation as there can be times when they will be required to persuade others to disclose credentials, restart or shut down systems, execute files. 

2. Staying Legal!- It's critical to never involve oneself in "black hat" hacking which means intruding or attacking anybody’s network without obtaining full permission. Getting involved in illegal activities without leading to conviction may also lead to ending of your ethical hacking career. Most jobs are with government-related organizations that need security clearances and polygraph testing.. 

3. Becoming a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) – This involves getting the right credentials from the EC-Council after a few years of security-related IT experience. The certification will assist you in understanding security from a hacker’s point of view. You can learn about common types of exploits, vulnerabilities, and countermeasures. Qualification for a CEH means specializing in penetration testing, footprinting and reconnaissance, and social engineering. If you go through approved EC-Council training partners, you can avail a live, five-day onsite or online training course to get prepared for the CEH cert. 

4. Resources – You can get useful information on ethical hacking by checking the resources section of the EC-Council site. There are also many books on ethical hacking and CEH certification on Amazon. Another alternative is to test with the BackTrack live CD. You can enable WEP security on your wireless router at home, and try cracking it.

Robots May Replace One-Fourth Of U.S. Combat Soldiers By 2030, Says General

By the middle of this century, U.S. Army soldiers may well be fighting alongside robotic squadmates. General Robert Cone revealed the news at an Army Aviation symposium last week, noting that the Army is considering reducing the size of a Brigade Combat Team from 4,000 soldiers to 3,000, with robots and drones making up for the lost firepower. Cone is in charge of U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), the part of the Army responsible for future planning and organization.

Tips For Facing Banking Interviews......:-)

ENTERING THE ROOM :tips
1.Prior to entering the room , adjust your attire.
2.Before entering , enquire by saying , ” Please May I come In “.
3.If the door is closed before you enter , make sure you shut the door behind you softly.
4.Face the Panel confidently and wish the members.
5.If the members of the interview board want to shake hands, then offer a firm grip first maintaining eye contact and a smile.
6.sit down only when asked to do so by the panel. If the interviewers are standing , wait for them to sit down before sitting.
7.An alert interview would diffuse the tense situation with light hearted humor and immediately sat rapport with the interviewers.
ENTHUSIASM :
The interviewer normally pays more attention if you display an enthusiasm in whatever you say .
This enthusiasm comes across in the energetic way you put forward your ideas.
You Should maintain a cheerful disposition throughout the interview, i.e a pleasent countenance holds the interview interest.
HUMOR:
A little humor or wit thrown in the discussion occasionally enables the interviewers to look at the pleasant side of your personality . If it does come naturally do not contrive it.
Injecting humor in to the situation doesn’t mean that you should keep telling jokes .It means to make a passing comment that , perhaps , makes the interviewer smile.
EYE CONTACT :
You Must maintain ye contact with the panel through out the interview.This shows your self confidence and honesty.
Many interviewees while answering . tend to look away. This conveys you are concealing your own anxiety, fear and lack of confidence.
Maintaining an eye contact is a difficult process . As the circumstances in an interview are different , the value of eye contact is tremendous in making person impact.
BE NATURAL :
Many interviewees adopt a stance which is not their natural self . It is amusing for interviewers when a candidate launches into an accent when he or she cannot sustain consistently through out the interview or adopt mannerisms that are inconsistent wit his/her personality. Interviewers appreciate a natural person rather than an actor. it is the best for you to talk in natural manner because then only can you appear.
