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.

Going through the intro lesson, it seems well written and informative. However I haven't had a chance to go into it much lately and what ruins this app is its CONSTANT notifications about a "limited time" license discount. There are settings in the app to disable notifications but it doesn't work. It still sends 1 to 2 push notifications every single day. It's not really a discount if it's permanent. I may have considered it without the annoying notifications though.

I paid for the app, Since it gives Certifications it's a fairly cheap option for learning Ethical Hacking. the courses is very well explained. They teach you alot, I honestly recommend it. Its a great base to build upon or to Refresh your knowledge. It's almost a how to guide. With how they teach it's easy to follow, there's no fluff, everything is explained.

Good for beginners and intermediate level IT people. Easy to follow along, fairly priced to unlock full app/all courses. Some outdated information and tools but still applicable for learning. Am happy with my purchase and completion of this app. Recommend keeping it installed after completion and revisiting all the lessons a few times. Would be better if the Certificates held more weight in the IT world (very hard to do.) Which is no fault of the devs and it would be more expensive I imagine.
