Good evening everyone. I just left school yet I still feel so inadequate because of a lack of skill. I really wish to become a penetration tester, but I don't even have an idea on how to go about it. I don't have any background in programming so please I need the advice of everyone who can help, even with companies where I can learn it.

It is a good one to reason on how to be guru in pentesting but you need to learn how to make use of pentesting tools. You also need to be familiar with any virtual machine e.g VMWARE and Kali Linux formerly known as Backtrack. If you need more info and lecture, me

I knew the comments were not gonna disappoint

People are not alright, truly.

First of, you canot break into a system you don't even understand how its built.

To break into a bank, you must understand how the bank operates, so likewise to penetrate computing system you must understand how the systems work.

- Learn Computer Networking and how the T/IP works, how packets gets routed.

- Learn the Windows OS, Active directory and how it works

- Move to Linux, master the Linux shell

- Move to Basic scripting (bash/python) you don't actually need this to start tho. Infact you can make excellent money without knowing how to script but to hit elite status you need to know one.

- Once you have mastered those. Get a Kali Linux OX, visit Udemy and search for the cyber mentor by heath Adams. He is the most recommended and the easiest teacher to follow.

Follow his course like a disciple following Jesus. Pratice pratice pratice....

In 6months you would start doing dangerous things.

In all you do, to play legal, otherwise your fellow security boiz and girls will nab you and hand you over to EFCC


Goodluck!!!

Thank you very much

Which comment will you learn from?
The ones made by weird nairalanders in this thread?
Except you will love to learn from their weird comments about the other type of penetration they have already turned write-up into.

I understand that a lot of weird people drop comments here. But there are very wonderful people here to. So I won't completely rule them out. I sieve the weirdos and take the good ones. Thanks tho

Omo people wey their mind dirty here much

You'd have to be comfortable with python first.. Then there are dozens of free contents especially by freecodecamp on YouTube to help you..

That's so good of you.
Uwlcm n do have a pleasant day ahead dear

Start with the CompTIA Sec+. This is the foundation to your cyber security career after which you can take the (CEH) training, a pathway of becoming an ethical hacker or a pen tester. Please don’t take the CEH training without going through the CompTIA Sec+ except you’re a genius.

The Sec+ will definitely introduce you to vulnerability assessment and penetration testing. The former is to identify weaknesses in your environment, while the later is to exploit the weaknesses in your environment.

If you’re ionate about it, I can forward you a Sec+ material for free, or you can go to www.udemy.com and check for some cheap trainings courses, however you’ll still need the hands-on and a virtual environment to practice the tools.

Hello Sir, I will be glad to get the Sec + materials from you, most especially the below material;

comptia security+ get certified get ahead: sy0-601 study guide by darril gibson

Also, how do I you, my WhatsApp: 08057556938

it sucks reading gabbages on front page, at least if you don't know how its done can't you know what it is ? can believe Our youths are still Dumbfvk in this tech edge, that's how some are discouraging me to go into tech as a female. smh

Thank you but the link isn't working.

Kindly help with a working one.

Thank you

hi

hey!

hey!

do you code? would like to know you...

do you code? would like to know you...

no, am learning to code.. do you have work for me already? lol

The best way to go about it is to learn the basics.
Mind you, you will not become a penetration tester in a year. You need lots of practice.
Learn basics like T/IP protocol (Important), Linux OS, subscribe to some YouTube channels for good tutorials, textbooks. You can also study forums like HackTheBox where you get to learn the practicals.
Pentester academy is also another good place to study to become a penetration tester.
I started my journey of becoming a penetration tester in 2016. HackTheBox, YouTube, Cybrary, Pentester academy, books like The Hacker playbook 1&2, Penetration testing: Introduction to hacking by Georgia Weidman, Red Team Field manual, Linux for hackers and resources/links & free mentorship on Twitter.
For certs you can start with CompTIA Security+ or the new Penetration testing course introduced by CompTIA. I took the certified ethical hacker (CEH) version 10 certification course and now am preparing to take the Offensive Security OS course which is highly regarded in the infosec industry.

I have comptia security+ voucher for sale. Anyone interested can me.

We've once been there. But stopped due to family issues and the like.

To begin with,

Learn python then

and learn the book, violent python. Then

Learn network programming with python. Then

Learn sys with python

Now you're good to go.

Next, learn database management and security....

And if you think you want to be an elite, learn

C++
Buffer overflow
Malware analysis and development

And if you hit some million bucks in the process, share with niggas

Good luck.

First, find people of your same level to hang around with, that can explain things in your own (experts explaining things over your head really sucks).

Second, get a Raspberry Pi. Start "sysing" the Raspberry Pi. Find fun projects. At some point, start playing around with networking on it. Explore all the fun command-line tools, like 'traceroute'. Use 'openwrt' as your home router and "net" that heck out of that. Now install web services on your RPi and play around with that, watching how your web server can serve raw HTML containing CSS and JavaScript. Create your own website. Now buy a domain name and push out to an AWS server. Make a LAMP app that serves stuff from an SQL database.

Now hack your server with SQL injection. Keep playing with bad server-side scripts until you get good at SQL injection.

Play with Chrome "Developer Tools" to explore how websites construct their web pages.

Now it's time for JavaScript. Spend some time learning abstract programming language theory with JavaScript as well as practical fun with it both inside the browser ("Developer Tools" again) and on the command-line ("NodeJS".

My best learning came not from mentors, but from people my own level. They, too, can suck, I still bitterly resent that 15 year explaining 'arrays' to me in a totally messed up manner when I was 14. But it's through talking about such things that we acquire knowledge.

How much na Pi? I wan run Kali on top that thing,
