4. Database Management: Databases are often a target for malicious actors, so being able to manage them securely is key.
5. Cryptography: Cryptography helps protect data from unauthorized access and manipulation; thus, having a good understanding of this field is really important.
6. Reverse Engineering: Reverse engineering involves taking apart existing software or hardware and analyzing it in order to find security vulnerabilities or create new tools that can be used by attackers or defenders alike.
7. Social Engineering: this involves manipulating people into giving up confidential information or performing certain actions that benefit the attacker; thus, it's important for ethical hackers to know how to fight back.
