38) Learn how the technology you are trying to hack works inside and out before you try to hack it. It's much easier to find a way in if you understand exactly how and why the technology works. ~ David Melnichuk
39) Be consistent. If you want to learn, dedicate a certain amount of time every week to learning. Don't take breaks because you will forget things. When it comes to ethical hacking, you have to learn and understand certain things before you can move on to understanding something else. Building on top of itself. ~ David Melnichuk
40) Find a safe and legal way to practice what you learn. Without
actually doing what you read/watch, you won't know anything. You
will learn 1000x more from doing something then from reading abou
t it. Don't get stuck in the trap of watching/reading without trying
everything you learn. You can use VirtualBox to create linux virtual
machines to practice on. ~ David Melnichuk
Have used Kaspersky protection for a few years now, I'd recommend this solution to all you.
ReplyDeleteWell, let me drop my hearty thanks for your catchy self-explanatory title. Yeah, it was really able to express deep meaning of being better hacker. I jumped into your long details and impressed with the hacking resources you manipulated very wisely. That's really great. Right this moment I can also recall a mobile monitoring service titled "hackers for hire" with the great offer of helping to monitor any children or employees mobile activities even it can help to observe the unexpected activities of your suspected cheating spouse. Maybe this will be useful for many guys here. Oh, course would like to say my cordial thanks to your for sharing such tech genius content.
