You are right Bro. but their is always pros and cons of everything. You can drive a car to transport people as well to kill them. It all depends upon each mentality, but as far as me concern. yes its good to learn hacking for professionals so that they can make more use of their resources.

First of all, find out the correct meaning of 'hacking' and what it means to be a 'hacker'. No disrespect to anyone, but I don't think anyone can teach 'hacking' in the true sense of the word.

And please get rid of the age-old stereotype of a hacker.

Learning hacking skills is just another way of learning computer in depth.
The skill however as per your thread title is not necessary.

Infact what these institutes end up with,are having students who have half a knowledge and with its pupils doing silly navive stuff with confidence.

Hacking is not the term for god's sake. What you guys are talking about is cracking- cracking accounts and websites.

Poor inference. Twitter admin is a 12 year old noob who uses a dictionary word as password. And it's not hacking. Know the difference. Guess who is pawned.

Hacking skills are 100% necessary in the present world. But hacking skills does not mean only the evil side of it..Its about ethical hacking skills....Without hacking, tech development would not be as fast as the present situation....Hackers inject a challenging environment in technology..Hackers are always necessaray...:))

Hacking cannot be taught. A hacker can be equivalent of a great programmer mindset. And great programming mindset cannot be taught inexchange of some fees. Though programming has to involve the syntax, its not the syntax that makes great programmers!

Hacking is a side effect of deep learning of a system, no one can teach you and you gain this automatically.Its like if you have been guarding a fortress for longtime and aware each and place inside.

Then you surely know, how to break into it

And hacking skills come pretty handy sometimes!
Like in your college, we hack into main server and download whatever we want. as the main server has no download restrictions:D
