WHAT IS ETHICAL HACKING?

An ethical hacker probes networks to uncover weaknesses on the owner's behalf, so those systems can be secured before a malicious attacker finds them. Demand for skilled cybersecurity professionals continues to grow, and ethical hacking is where most of them begin.

Every technique in this app - from WiFi hacking to SQL injection to social media hacking, is taught for legal, defensive and educational purposes only. You will learn how attacks work so that you can prevent them. Never test a system you do not own or have written permission to assess.

Start learning ethical hacking today.
Download HackerX, open your first cybersecurity lesson, and take the first step toward a career as an ethical hacker.

90% sure this is the same people as the "learn ethical hacking" app - the one with a shield as the logo - despite being submitted as a different business. The intro is identical, the app layout is identical, the sound effects are identical, and the emails to contact the devs are the same format. They want you to click on links through the app to get to pages to download VirtualBox and Linux, which is a big security no-no. The lessons are unprofessional and full of spelling errors. Would not rec.

I surely recommend everyone to download and use this app and for the first time , I've seen an app with no issues of too many ads. I understand that developers use ads to make somewhat money but for the first time I've seen someone trying to help other without their own profit at all. Thanks for the development team and anyone who is frustrated with this ads n all stuff , I guess that you should give this app a try

The courses are easy enough to breeze through but the installation process does need to be explained in a more clear way as beginners like myself would get lost in the shuffle if we're just trying to install the necessary software without having to look up a bunch of stuff first
