      irst of all, I want to congratulate you and thank you for deciding to invest in yourself and become better. I want to tell you this guide will take from 0 (in the field of Cyber Security) and lead you to a basic level so that you are aware of the things around us on the Internet every day.

      I want this book to change your mentality and how you think and give you a new perspective on things. The concepts explained here are both theoretical and practical. Let me show you a few of the stuff that you are going to learn from this book

      How Hackers think

      What are the five steps of Hacking

      How to scan devices in a network

      How to see other people's traffic (such as passwords and web sessions)

      How to use Kali Linux

      VPN and Cryptography concepts

      Website Hacking and Security

      And many more :)

      This book contains six chapters that cover different themes belonging to the basic concepts of Cyber Security. O want you to know that if you are starting for the first time in IT, this book is not the right choice. Why? Because you need Linux (at least average) knowledge, networking, and (slight) programming to understand some of the things I explain here.

      That's why I want to tell you (from the very beginning) that: before you learn to break and secure things, it's essential to understand how technology works. Having this in mind, I wish you a lot of strength in what you do. Pull as hard as you can. You will see that you will achieve what you have done with constant work and effort.

      As a Gift, I want to give, for FREE, access to my six steps guide on starting (and performing) as an IT Specialist in today’s digital world. Claim your FREE guide by accessing this page: https://bit.ly/IT-GIFT , or you can scan the QR code:

      LET’S TALK ABOUT HACKERS

      I

      suggest that in the first chapter of this book, we start talking about an exciting subject from the Cyber Security world: Hackers. You’ve heard about Hackers very often online and in the news. Lately, more and more often. Meaning that the number of Hackers (or Cyber Criminals) is increasing, which means that the Security market is growing and the opportunities.

      Before discussing in more detail about Hackers, I want to tell you that you’ll see me use these terms interchangeably: Cyber Security, Computer Security, Information Security, or InfoSec. These are the same thing: establishing and maintaining the security level of an IT infrastructure (computer network, server, laptop, etc.)

      Okay, but why do we need Security? Because it
