What can you do if you know how to hack?

It is not wrong that this topic is the most interesting topic. Some say that everything they know and see about hacking is wrong. Some people don't really know what hacking is and want to be like them after reading the hacker stories they see on Facebook and Mov's hackers. So, they don't understand what is hacking anymore and they start following how to hack. Some of them want to take a course today and become a hacker tomorrow. Some people cling to the blind belief that hacking is something you can't do, and start to stray further from the truth. There are a few things you should know before reading this article. If you haven't read it yet, read these. Then it's better to read on. For those of you who have been reading all my blog posts, you may have already read these topics. If there are 2 more and I remember it, I can read it again ☺️

1 and 2 must be read. 3 and 4 show related articles so that you can read them if you are interested. Let's get back to the relevant topic.

Not just hacking. If you study to the level where you can use any science, you can use it. If you have enough education, you will be able to do jobs based on that knowledge. My personal opinion here is that you should not seek education to get a job. I want to be educated and have a job. Having said this, some people still think wrongly that this educated person can't do anything. That's why I wrote this letter.

One of the biggest advances in the field of computer science is cyber security. This is the digital age. Everyone has IoT devices that can be connected to the world in their hands. The world has evolved based on technology to the extent that your friends who are on the opposite side of the world can instantly see photos and videos taken from your smart phone in your hand. According to a Cisco report, I read that by 2030, there will be more than 500 billion devices connected to the Internet.

According to a Cisco report, by 2023, 56 percent of the world's population will be connected to the Internet. It is still only 5.3 billion. Since a person can use more than one device (phone, computer, tablet, ...), it is possible that by 2030 there will be more than 500 billion (about 4 times the world's population). If you are interested in the Cisco report, you can view it at the link below.

So cyberspace is expanding more than 3 times every year. As cyber space expands, the possibilities of cyber attacks around the world will increase more and more. And in a business sense, computers, As companies, organizations and businesses that use tablets, their important information, It will become more and more necessary to protect vulnerable assets such as systems. This situation will lead to more and more job opportunities in the field of Cyber Security. This is because the people who can detect and protect against these potential attacks are called Ethical Hackers / Penetration Testers / Cyber Security Specialists, etc. Hackers know best how hackers usually attack, and hacking is necessary to prevent hackers.

Why You Should Learn Ethical Hacking What are the benefits of learning hacking?

This point can also be found in the content I read before. In this, to put it briefly again——

• I saw in a statement from the University of Maryland that an attack occurs every 39 seconds in technologically developed countries. And 1 in 3 Americans often face a cyber security threat. Here is the link if you are interested  https://www.securitymagazine.com/articles/87787-hackers-attack-every-39-seconds 
• Another thing is that in 2020, the cost spent on cyber security worldwide was 1 trillion US dollars, and Forbes magazine estimated that it could rise to 6 trillion US dollars. If you are interested, the link is here.   https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2018/11/09/how-not-to-waste-a-trillion-dollars-on-cybersecurity/?sh=6e172b69df9a  
• Big organizations like Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. have bounty programs. To put it simply, it's a program that rewards you with a decent reward by identifying and reporting potential security flaws before hackers attack. (Learning about them will also help new people to learn) If you want to learn about Bounty programs, you can search on google. Sample link for Facebook’s Bug Bounty Program ==> https://www.facebook.com/whitehat  
• From a hacker's point of view, in order to identify and present weaknesses called Vulnerability. To prevent, Fixing is impossible without knowing Hacking.
• Also, government data, consumer information, Systems, etc., have important information from the government level to a small private business, so the need for people with expertise in cyber security is increasing day by day. 
• Hacking is the ability to find out the weaknesses and bugs of the common software you are using on your computer.
• If you are a web developer, you will be aware of the vulnerabilities that exist in your web and will be able to create and build a better and safer web. Similarly, if you're a programmer, bugs in your program, Hacking will guide you to identify weaknesses and build better programs. 
• When you want to spy (surveillance) from one country to other countries, you have to use the science of hacking.
• Hacking is an essential skill for a better society because of the ability to identify existing vulnerabilities and harness them to ensure security. You just need to use it correctly. 

ဒHaving said this, if you think that it is only about the advantages of hacking and not about work, I will write directly below what jobs can be entered if you know how to hack. Hacking also has negative effects. I don't think I even need to explain because that is related to the ethics of hacking researchers. If you have a gun, you can use it in a murderous robbery, or you can use it to take down darn bandits/assassins. What matters is where you use it.

What jobs can you do if you know Ethical Hacking?

As this era is dependent on technology, there are emerging new technologies that benefit humans, as well as bad technologies that harm the interests of humans. Malware, Spyware, Ransomware, Trojans, and worms are also appearing every day. Big businesses, Not only companies but even government departments hire Cybersecurity Professionals to protect them from these security threats.

According to Security Magazine, there will be over 3.5 million cybersecurity jobs by 2021, and the number is growing every year.

According to the US Department of Labor, the annual income of an Information Security analyst (ethical hacker) is US$102,600. (almost 2,000,000,000,000 in Myanmar money) This is a salary of $50 per hour. And this is just the median salary. That's why the salary of programmers is much higher than 85000 US$. If you are at a senior level in cyber security (for example - Chief Information Security Officer), you can earn about 400,000 USD per year.

According to Cisco, about 30 percent of organizations' profits are lost due to security breaches. With this information, it's clear why hackers are a well-paid job.

So, if you are proficient in Cyber Security (Hacking), you will be able to apply for the following positions and jobs.

Here are the job opportunities. You can still do the following jobs without doing these

• Workshops, Discussion , ...

you can do them your own.

If you do nothing about these things, you and those around you will know what to do and avoid, and you will have the benefit of protecting yourself and your family from cyber threats.

A lot to say. In conclusion, if you become proficient in any subject, you will be able to work as much as you know. But don't study with the desire to work. If you are really interested in science, you will be more successful in studying. If you want to learn Ethical Hacking from your own home, there are online classrooms that teach in Burmese, so if you are interested, you can learn from the link below...
