If you desire to be among the best, you cant sit on the couch!.....push harder and break stuff.

I admire your choice in security, my goal is to help make the web more secure whilst protecting our privacy, of which we are entitled too!

Like these folks have been saying, the most important part is knowledge. If you approach the computer field with the mindset of learning your stuff and increasing your tech savvy rather than the mindset of becoming a hacker, you will be far more successful. And one day you will wake up and realize you already are the hacker you dreamed of becoming at the beginning.

I have nothing to say new just 2nd others that start from the beginning and get all knowledge. Read as much as you can about cyber security, bookmarks some good sites that write news, blogs and have specialist or expert interviews from cyber security world. Forbes, Wired, Onlineprivacytips, WSJ, CNBC, Cnet etc should be in your bookmark list.

Join some good cyber security group on social networks and participate in discussions, ask queries that you have in mind and see what experts suggest you as per their experience.

You can google all you want, but for true understanding must come actual participation.

Set yourself up a testing Lab, or buy one pre-made.

Srsly?

I get this kind of recommendation in regard to the insane price as a joke, but am afraid that some user are getting the wrong ideas.  :>

 

Altough, this could be a nice example as ultra-hyped, extortion-like, "must-have" devices, which is the hardware to get into "hacking". 

This is just absurd. 

 

Anyhowsel.

There a several approaches. 

I for my part don't think that Pc's with Windows Installation are Linux compatible or let's say Linux-friendly.

Neither VM's, Dual-Boot(sic!), Persistent-Usb, Windows Su system(WSL) etc. pp.

 

Like I said, this is my personal opinion.

Others may tolerate the restrictions, hardware-issues and so on.., but this is temporary usability at all. 

I would recommend eg. Raspberry Pi & Touchscreen(excellent software development- > Sticky Finger Kali, the dev's name is Re4son, just look it up). 

Brilliant programmer!

 

This would cost you all together (+ ~7" touchscreen) & € 95. 

 

If you are getting familiar with Linux and wish to continue the next step would be either a Chromebook with Linux compatibility or a refurbished, used or outdated Notebook. 

 

I let you get on searching the exanples for yourself and wish you good luck. 

 

It's much work, but exciting & fulfilling neither the less.

Can you explain what you mean by this? How is a PC a Windows one or a Linux one? If you build your own, which is it?

Hum? 

If you build your own Pc from scratch then obviously you decide what Os you install with it.

 

What the compatibility issues regarding. 

I have with all the above mentioned methods lags, performance issues of all sorts, freezes etc experienced. 

Linux and Windows are clashing with each other. 

If you want to try a new OS or a tool it's absolutely fine, but any further you will experience issues. Especially on virtual machines. 

I hope that your questions are being answered here with. 

 

With best regards,.. UsPdSr
