Ethical hackers are a critical part of cybersecurity. By actively probing their own (or clients') systems for exploitable vulnerabilities, they can help minimize the potential attack surface and patch holes before malicious actors can get inside. To help you learn to think like a cybercriminal, this White Hat Hacker Bundle is currently being offered in the Boing Boing Store for a price of your choosing.

This collection includes eight courses to introduce you to the tools and techniques of ethical hacking. Aside from learning about IT system architecture and common security equipment, you’ll discover how to perform penetration tests on networks, inspect websites for known weaknesses, and administer a Linux environment.
