When someone says they are a 'HACKER' whereas all they do is watch videos of 'How to hack a GMail account' on YouTube and read 'Learn to hack in 24 hours' , while having no knowledge of networking, security protocols and ports.

Usually teenagers 😎

But Cisco courses are so baaaad 😭 All I remember is my lecturer yelling "PDU! PDU! PDU!... PDU!"

@JoseHdez2 hey, not always😞. I am a dev who's interested in real pentesting and I've built my own distro for the same 😃

@JoseHdez2 and I'm 16

In India there are a bunch of morons that go to colleges and fool fresher students into believing that they can teach them hacking. They charge an exorbitant fee for a 2-3 hour session. They end up showing obsolete tools, making students believe that Linux is made for hacking and then SQL inject some useless Bangladeshi government website that is probably written before HTML4.

Try to Google Ankit Fadia & Sunny Vaghela. The former of these geniuses claims he hacked FBI when he was 12, while the latter calls himself a security expert and sadly, people in my country believe all these claims.

@ishaanbahal I'm from India bro, I know how Ankit Fadia has fooled so many into believing what a brilliant hacker he is.
And magazines and news channel who give him this publicity don't even question his claims.

@gamebusterz he's the in house advisor and IT expert for TRAI. Now that is sad. Our telecom Dept. has also been fooled by this moron. Aren't they supposed to have good engineers or maybe some technology experts?

@ishaanbahal The word 'Hacker' is thrown around like a tissue paper where everyone wants to be known as one but no one wants to put in the effort of learning the basics. (Well not everyone, I'm talking about the types I've ranted about.)

“ports” 😂
