Hi Ashish, To qualify as an ethical hacker one should first of all, work in a company on networking designs, administration principles, system designs or application software. You can undergo a certificate/ diploma programme in ethical hacking to earn merit over others. These certifications like ‘Ankit Fadia Certified Ethical Hacker’ and ‘Certified Ethical Hacker’ run by EC-Council are not approved by any university but there is no alternate and reliable bet in the market.

Remember that the most important prerequisite before one studies to become an ethical hacker is to have perfect computer networking knowledge. Having expertise in at least one application like Java or C++ and knowledge of the functioning of UNIX also will be of great help. To gain more insight about this profession, read this interview of Marcus J Ranum, who kept the White House site secure: http://www.Campuswalkin.com/article/its-balance-between-security-and-usability-ethical-197/
