With these 18 courses, you can launch a new career as a full-service ethical hacker

TLDR: The All-In-One 2021 Super-Sized Ethical Hacking Bundle features all the skills and tools needed to become a skilled hacker, all for less than $45.

Hacking always sounds intriguing…but it might not be something you instinctively assume could be a new career. It’s…you know, hacking. People get arrested for that sort of thing.

But not if you do it right. The process of ethical hacking, using your skills to spot bugs and uncover exploitable windows in the systems of some of the world’s biggest companies, is exploding. According to Cybersecurity Ventures, there are currently about 3.5 million open cybersecurity jobs that need to be filled, with growth of almost 20 percent expected over the decade ending in 2026.

Firms need the skills of an experienced programmer to point out their deficiencies before an evil black hat hacker does and causes massive damage to vulnerable companies — or their customers.

Even if you’ve never considered working in cybersecurity before, the training in The All-In-One 2021 Super-Sized Ethical Hacking Bundle ($42.99, over 90 percent off, from TNW Deals) can open up those new possibilities.

Featuring 18 courses and more than 130 hours of intensive training, there’s a lot of material to digest here, covering all it takes to understand the basics of this important profession as well as the critical tools any ethical hacker needs to know.

The package features a handful of introductory courses to help first timers get acquainted with this new world without being overwhelmed. Courses like Introduction to Python and Hacking with Python, the Ethical Hacking Certification Course, and the Complete Ethical Hacking and Penetration Course guides newcomers through the first steps, learning Python programming, how to build hacking scripts, phishing, NMAP, password cracking, penetration testing, and more.

Once all the practical lessons are learned, further coursework comes deeper with hands-on training to actually bring that learning into the real world. Among the courses, students earn experience with 21 hacking techniques and how they can be used in real-life scenarios.

Along the way, students will also get to try out some of the most valuable tools in a hacker’s arsenal, including Burp Suite, BitNinja, ZAP, Kali Linux, Metasploit and others.

While the individual courses in The All-In-One 2021 Super-Sized Ethical Hacking Bundle would usually cost almost $3,300, it’s all available now as part of this bundle for less than $3 per course at just $42.99.
