Why Become a Hacker??
Some of the most notable hackers have infiltrated computer systems belonging to governments, large corporations and non-for profit groups.

Viruses can be sent unknowingly from host to host, recruiting other computer systems to carry out the malicious codes bidding. Many of these viruses can completely disable a computer system and may require a great deal of time and effort in order to rid any particular system of the virus.

Professionals that know the tricks of the trade will be better equipped to deal with and avert hacking threats as they come.

Keeping track of all the new tactics implemented by unlawful hackers on almost a daily occurrence and developing new ways to safeguard a client’s computer infrastructure is the main goal of the security professional.
Criminal forensic labs also employ persons with hacking ability. Law enforcement agencies actively seek people who have experience in gathering computer information for evidence purposes. Evidence in terms of Internet or computer crimes can be crucial with regard to prosecuting a criminal case. Just like a police detective, computer forensic specialists need to be acquainted with the mind of a suspect.
