Welcome to the second part of the series of how to become a perfect hacker. In the previous tutorial we learnt the importance of programming and which languages to start with. In this tutorial we'll move to some advance things you need to learn for becoming a perfect hacker.
Switch to Linux
Go and see every advanced programmer or hacker, which OS is he using. I'm sure most of them would be using some Linux based distribution. The reason Linux is so popular, is because it's Open Source which means it's source code is on-line and is free to use for developers. Hence, numerous developer around the globe have contributed their best to the kernel and made it so great. It also beat others in terms of security.
So, If you have never used any Linux distribution in your life and switching form windows or Mac OS, I would suggest you to start with Ubuntu Linux, which is one of the most popular Linux distribution. It's is more like windows or Mac OS and is more user friendly. The next step is to get used to it. Learn some basic Linux terminal commands and get used to working with terminal.
Now when you have gained sufficient knowledge about Ubuntu, it's time to switch to a more advanced pen testing distribution. I would suggest Kali Linux but there are more alternatives.
Kali Linux is just another Distribution based on Linux kernel but there's something special about it. It is packed with thousands of free pen testing tools which will help you in becoming a perfect hacker.
If you have reached this level learning everything I write, then trust me, you'll find your way yourself. You'll know what to do next, where to go next.
The reason you were asked to learn programming, so that when you loophole in any web app or software, you can write your own exploit. This prevents you from just being a script kiddie.
