Top 5 Websites To Learn How To Hack Like A Pro You might be surprised to learn just how many people want to learn how to hack.

A recent CNET article about DEFCON makes note of the fact that claims of sexual harassment and unwanted advances are increasing. This is the natural evolution of such communities, and in time the scales will balance and men and women will hack side by side – but when searching for places to go online to learn how to hack, it’s important to remember that because demographics and the world itself is changing, what you’ll find at most of the hacker websites are also changing significantly as well.

Institute - SANS Top-20 2007 Security Risks (2007 Annual Update) Critical Security Controls for Effective Cyber Defense Over the years, many security standards and requirements frameworks have been developed in attempts to address risks to enterprise systems and the critical data in them. However, most of these efforts have essentially become exercises in reporting on compliance and have actually diverted security program resources from the constantly evolving attacks that must be addressed. The Critical Security Controls focuses first on prioritizing security functions that are effective against the latest Advanced Targeted Threats, with a strong emphasis on "What Works" - security controls where products, processes, architectures and services are in use that have demonstrated real world effectiveness.
