Finding faults in a computer system can mean exploiting it — which is what we’ve been conditioned to think of when we hear the term “hacker” — or it can mean you’re trying to find ways of making the system stronger.

That’s what so-called white hat hacking is all about, and it’s a skill that’s becoming increasingly lucrative as more and more businesses are looking to do business over secure networks.

This Ethical Hacker and Pentester Pro Bundle is a great way to join the light side of the hacking workforce, and you can get it for whatever you’re willing to pay.

A 10-year-old with insane hacking skills just scored a $10,000 payout from Facebook for uncovering a serious flaw in Instagram.

The Helsinki-based boy, who can’t even open a Facebook account for another three years, found he was able to alter code on Instagram’s servers to delete comments posted by any account.

Like the new Nexus 5X, 32GB of internal storage was the most you could get with the Nexus 5. But 18 months on, that’s just not enough for some people — and there’s nothing you can do about it without a microSD card slot. Except one thing.

With the right tools, an incredibly steady hand, and plenty of courage, you can whip out the storage chip that’s inside your Nexus 5 and replace it with a bigger one — as you’ll see in the hack below.

Want to be a white hat hacker? Start with 60+ hours of training in the White Hat Hacker Bundle. It contains 7 online courses that’ll teach you Windows exploit development, Node.js security, intensive ethical hacking, and more — and for a limited time only, pay only what you want!

Beware the latest Android flaw.

Security researchers have discovered yet another nightmare Android flaw that allows hackers to gain access to your device with just a text message. The flaw affects around 95% of devices running Android 2.2 through 5.1.
