Ethical Hacking Roadmap
1️⃣ Understand Basics
Before starting Ethical Hacking, you must learn some core concepts:
• TCP/IP, DNS – How the internet works
• HTTP/HTTPS – How websites exchange data
2️⃣ Operating Systems
Every Ethical Hacker must be comfortable with:
• Linux – Most widely used (especially Kali Linux)
• Windows – Common in enterprise environments
• Mac – Less used but still good to know
3️⃣ Networking
Networking knowledge is essential for Ethical Hacking:
• IP, MAC, DNS, DHCP – Identify and manage network devices
• Ports, Protocols – Understand data transmission routes
• OSI Model – Learn how networks are structured in layers
4️⃣ Programming
Programming skills help in automation and custom Ethical Hacking:
• Python – Great for scripting and exploitation
• Bash – For Linux command-line automation
• JavaScript, PHP, SQL – Useful for Web Ethical Hacking
5️⃣ Ethical Hacking Tools
Must-know tools used in Ethical Hacking:
• Nmap – Network scanning
• Burp Suite – Web application testing
• Metasploit – Exploit development and testing
• John the Ripper – Password cracking
• Wireshark – Network traffic analysis
6️⃣ Set Up Lab
Build your own safe Ethical Hacking lab:
• VirtualBox / VMware – Create virtual environments
• Kali Linux / Parrot OS – OS built for Ethical Hacking
7️⃣ Start Practicing
Start legal and safe Ethical Hacking practice on platforms like:
• TryHackMe – Beginner-friendly
• Hack The Box – Intermediate to advanced labs
• OverTheWire – Fun and challenging CTFs
🔚 Final Note:
If you follow this step-by-step roadmap, Ethical Hacking will become much easier and more organized.
