How to become a Computer Expert

IT is an engaging field but it is surely not easy. To become an IT expert, one has to have an attitude and curiosity of learning and adapting new skills. You must have a deep knowledge of computer systems, programming languages, operating systems and the journey of learning goes on and on.

Most people think that an IT expert is always a criminal and do illegal activities but they are wrong and if yo one of them, you better follow carefully. Actually many big companies hire IT experts or cyber security experts, professionals to protect their systems and information and are highly paid. Here is the list of most important steps necessary to become a Computer Expert other than just playing around like most of these Telegram Boys do;  How to become a Computer Expert

1.Learn UNIX/LINUX

UNIX/LINUX is an open source operating system which provides better security to computer systems. You should install LINUX freely available open source versions on your desktops as without learning UNIX/LINUX, it is not possible to become an IT EXPERT. 

2.Code in C language

C programming is the base of learning UNIX/LINUX as this operating system is coded in C programming which makes it the most powerful language as compared to other programming languages. To become an IT EXPERT you should master C language.

3.Code in more than one Programming Language

It is important for a person in the IT field to learn more than one programming. There are many programming languages to learn such as Python, JAVA, C++. Free eBooks, tutorials are easily available online.

 4.Learn Networking Concepts

Another important and essential step to become a IT EXPERT is to be good at networking concepts and understanding how the networks are created. You need to know the differences between different types of networks and must have a clear understanding of TCP/IP and UDP to exploit vulnerabilities (loop holes) in system. Understanding what LAN, WAN, VPN, Firewall is also important. You must have a clear understanding and use of network tools such as Wireshark, NMAP for packet analyzing, network scanning etc.

5.Learn More Than One Operating System

It is essential for an IT EXPERT to learn more than one operating system. There are many other Operating systems apart from Windows, UNIX/LINUX etc. Every system has a loop hole that an IT EXPERT needs to exploit.

6.Learn Cryptography

To become a successful IT EXPERT you need to master the art of cryptography. Encryption and Decryption are important skills in IT. Encryption is widely done in several aspects of information system security in authentication, confidentiality and integrity of data. Information on a network is in encrypted form such as passwords. While illegally accessing a system, these encrypted codes needs to be broken, which is called decryption.

7.Learn more and more about IT

Go through various tutorials, eBooks written by experts in the field of IT. Learning is never ending because security changes every day with new updates in systems.

8.Experiment A Lot

After learning some concepts, sit and practice them. Setup your own lab for experimental purpose. You need a good computer system to start with as some tools may require powerful processor, RAM etc. Keep on Testing and learning until you reach a system.

9.Write Vulnerability (Loop hole program)

Vulnerability is the weakness, loop hole or open door through which you enter the system. Look for vulnerabilities by scanning the system, network etc. Try to write your own and exploit the system.

10.Continue Learning More

Learning is the key to success in the world of IT. Continuous learning and practicing will make you the best IT EXPERT. Keep yourself updated about security changes and learn about new ways to exploit systems. Learning never ends even ''l'' still have lots to learn too.
