Οι περισσότεροι άνθρωποι παγώνουν ακούγοντας την λέξη "hacker", υποθέτοντας ότι είναι κάποιος θυμωμένος σπασίκλας στο υπόγειο των γονιών του, που συνωμοτεί εναντίον της governmentand steals codeς πρόσβασης των χρηστών του Facebook.
The term has gained a bad reputation over time, with everything we've heard. But, hackers are people.
People who are usually information security analysts and computer programmers. Sometimes they even hack to earn a living. Professional hacking, that is. According to an infographic from Schools.com, which does not only show the negative aspects of the term, provides a guide on how to become a hacker.
You know fluently C ++, HTML 5, και Ruby; Πιστεύετε ότι κάτι μπορεί να ενισχυθεί εκθέτοντας τις αδυναμίες του; Είσαι ένας ένθερμος που πιστεύει στο "δωρεάν" Διαδίκτυο;
According to Schools.com, all this is good evidence that you are probably very good at becoming a hacker. But you need to think about which hacker hat you will wear.
Οι "καλοί" Ηackers (white hat) είναι αυτοί που παραβιάζουν ένα σύστημα και μετά ενημερώνουν την εταιρεία που συχνά πληρώνει επαγγελματίες ασφαλείας για να βρει τα τρωτά σημεία. Ή μήπως θέλετε να φορέσετε το καπέλο των εγκληματιών του κυβερνοχώρου, ντυμένοι στα μαύρα, και να παραβιάζετε δίκτυα υπολογιστών για προσωπικό όφελος;
Of course there is a gray belt between the black and white hackers. The Iackers illegally violate a company's network, and then inform the public about its security holes.
All three categories usually require a degree in computer science, programming, information security or some other related subject, and can earn six-digit annual earnings.
Based on the data collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, pro hackers start with an initial salary ranging from 43.000 to 50.000 dollars.
Most earn the average from 74.000 to 86.000 dollars. Top analysts and developers, however, can reach up to 136.000 dollars a year.
