So You Want to Be a Black Hat Hacker? Here's How to Make Money.

how hacker make money


While many people have heard of the term Black Hat Hacker, they don't really know what it means or how it's different from being a White Hat Hacker. 

In the tech world, there are hackers who are considered to be on the side of good, and those who are on the side of bad or evil. 

Unfortunately, most of us hear about the evil hackers in the news, though that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of good ones out there doing their jobs as white hat hackers and defending our digital assets!

It’s going to take a lot of time

What makes the job of being a black hat hacker so lucrative is how much time it takes up. If you are just starting out and want to make money as a black hat hacker, 

you're going to have to spend hours and hours each week doing research, finding exploits, and trying them out on various websites and programs in order to see what works (and then only if the exploit is successful).

What software will you use?

The first thing you're going to need is some software that can crack passwords, such as Ophcrack or Cain and Abel. Once installed, you can use the program to crack the passwords of any user account on your computer network. 

If you are using Windows XP, Vista, or 7, then LCP is an easy tool that will let you capture information from other computers running these operating systems. 

It all starts with a simple installation followed by choosing the relevant sections for your attack (such as keylogging). 

Once you have decided what data gathering options are best for your attack, click start and wait for all of the data to be gathered from the remote computer(s). 

The next step is discovering what information has been collected.

Is this illegal in your country?

Many people associate black hat hacking with illegal activities, but the reality is that there are plenty of legal ways for hackers to make money as well. 

For example, some programmers offer their services as freelance coders or sell them in an online marketplace like Fiverr. 

Others have created tools or software that they sell on their own websites and marketplaces like CodeCanyon or Programmers Heaven, while others teach classes online using sites like Udemy or Coursera.

It's also possible to get paid for finding bugs in companies' software, which can be done using platforms such as Bugcrowd or HackerOne.

How much can you make doing this?

Just how much money can you make being a black hat hacker? 

Well, it depends on the type of hacking you are doing and the number of hours you work each week. 

For example, if you are able to hack into computer systems and steal credit card numbers for resale, then one could expect to make upwards of $50 per hour for their efforts when they're successful.

Why don’t I find any information about this online?

It’s hard for people to talk about their illegal activities without getting in trouble, so you don’t find many posts about how to make money with black hat hacking. 

However, one of the best ways for someone new to black hat hacking is to learn from other hackers who are successful and steal from them.

What do your friends think about this idea?

My friends have mixed opinions about this, but for me, it was an easy decision. I'm not like the rest of them and I don't want to be any more than what I am now. 

What they don't understand is that black hat hacking is fun, challenging, and lucrative if done well - at least that's what I've heard from other people who do this sort of thing.

Interesting Tips and Tricks

1) The internet is full of opportunities for black hat hackers and there are plenty of ways to make money doing it.

2) It can be hard to know where to start with hacking, but one way is by reading tutorials on the subject. 

One great place for this is Hack Forums which has plenty of beginner level tutorials and other resources for new hackers. 

This site also has an active community where you can get feedback from experienced hackers and ask questions about more complicated topics as well. 


3) Alternatively, you could start off with something like web scraping or data mining in order to learn more about how computers work and what they do on the internet that makes them vulnerable to attacks or exploits.

conclusion

If you're serious about hacking, be sure you have the right skills and know what you're getting yourself into before jumping in head first. 

Most hackers don't make money on their work, so if it's all about the money for you, there are other ways to make it legally (such as programming).
