This article is dedicated to helping you stay ahead of hackers. As the saying goes, "To stay safe from hackers, you need to be one step ahead of them." Drawing from my experience in ethical hacking, I’m sharing essential insights to keep you secure.
Begin by learning Kali Linux, Bash scripting, and basic networking (e.g., CCNA). After gaining a foundational understanding, practice through online labs and free bug bounty programs.

Protect Your Cards: If you carry cards (bank, metro, office) in your back pocket, be aware of devices like NFC cloners, which can steal your card information in seconds just by being near you. These tools are available online, so keep your cards safe.
