RE: Become an Ethical Hacker
Maybe for you but as you can see, others don't think like that.. You can't say that my article sucks just because you don't agree with my point of view. Show some respect for the writing work I have made plz. We just dont' have the same definition of a hacker. And I'm not the only one who think that if you look on the internet...
But I respect your point of view.
My apologies for not respecting your writing. I just have very strong opinions on this topic.
I also have a background of doing bug bounties and CTF's. I've hacked lots of stuff and I've not always had good reactions to my hacking. I once found a xss bug in a famous ecommerce site in my country and I was nice enough to report it to them, there reaction was: that I was issued a warning and next I would be issued a lawyer's letter if I were to share the information with other people regarding this incident.
There is no ethics, the really good guys from a technical perspective are the really bad guys or atleast the guys who have really hacked stuff they weren't supposed to but did coz they were curious. Most of us are really grey hats. The blackhats among hackers are those who are just in it for the money, but some of them are also very good at what they do and if they were given to make the same amount money legally, then they probably will, but bug bounty programs such as hackerone or bugcrowd don't pay great, unless perhaps you are living in a third world country.

People are always afraid of think they don't understand and hacking is something that seems dark and complicated. People don't like that and are afraid of it. And they are right when you can see all the think that can be done nowadays..
You have really done a nice job with the bug you have found, their IT teem was just jealous of your skills ;) They just wanted to protect their-self but they could have been more thankful
Yes for me, it's hard to be always the good withe hat, exactly the same for the life, everything change with your actual state of mind and your need of curiosity or money..
Gonna read it thx man!
Sorry for downvoting /flagging your stuff. I'm gonna remove the flags. Thanks for understanding my point of view.
No problem man, it's always hard to have taken the red pill and to be then accepted by the society. Don't hesitate to comment my post when you don't agree with something! Like I said, I'm not a pro and I'm just informing and advising what I think to be good for the steemit community
