Ethical Hacking Simulator

Master penetration testing methodology: reconnaissance (OSINT DNS enumeration), scanning (Nmap port services, Nessus vulnerabilities), exploitation (Metasploit framework gain access), post-exploitation (persistence lateral movement), reporting (document findings risk ratings remediation)

Understand common vulnerabilities: SQL injection (manipulate database queries steal data), XSS cross-site scripting (inject malicious scripts), broken authentication (weak passwords session hijacking), security misconfiguration (default credentials unnecessary services), insecure deserialization (remote code execution)

Apply security tools: Kali Linux (600+ tools industry standard), Metasploit (exploit framework 2000+ modules), Burp Suite (web proxy intercept requests scanner), Wireshark (packet capture analyze traffic), Nmap (network scanner port enumeration service detection)

Develop ethical hacking skills: authorization essential (written permission contracts rules engagement), responsible disclosure (give organizations time fix 90 days standard), legal compliance (follow laws regulations professional ethics), document methodology (reproduce findings comprehensive reports)

Explore cybersecurity careers: penetration tester ($1500-4000/month Vietnam OSCP certified), security consultant ($3000-5000/month assess security posture), bug bounty hunter ($500-10000+/month HackerOne Bugcrowd platforms), red team operator ($4000-7000+/month advanced adversary simulation)
