Publisher's Synopsis
▶ Hacking is something that is taking over the world.
▶ With more and more people are moving online and doing almost any task that they can there, it is likely that hacking and other similar attacks are just going to increase over time.
▶ Our personal, financial, and business information is all found online, and this is a big goldmine for hackers all throughout the world.
It is so important that we learn the best way to take care of our personal and financial information and to make sure that we are protected against any hacking attack that comes our way. And working with Kali Linux to do a penetration test can be one of the best ways that we learn where the vulnerabilities of our system lie, and how to protect against a hacker using them against us.
This guidebook is going to spend some time looking at how to complete a penetration test with the Kali Linux system, and how we can use this to keep our own networks safe. In addition to working with the penetration test, we will also explore how to work with protecting our identity online, how to download the Kali Linux system in a variety of manners, and how to work with other hacking techniques so we can always be on the lookout against those who are trying to attack us maliciously.
In this guidebook, we are going to explore penetration testing, along with a wide variety of other topics that work with hacking on Kali Linux. Some of the topics that we will explore in this guidebook include:
- How to set up the Kali Linux operating system to work on your computer and the different methods that you can do.
- How to work with the boot drive version of Kali Linux.
- Some of the commands that you can send over to your terminal to get the best results.
- Some of the basics of the Kali Linux network that we need to know before our penetration test.
- The dark web and the Tor program, and how these can help a hacker stay anonymous.
- The importance of the VPN, or virtual private networks, and how those can keep the hacker hidden from view.
- Some of the simple hacking techniques that a hacker could use against a network or a system.
- The basics and the methodologies of penetration testing.
- The stages that we need to follow to make penetration testing happen.
There is so much that we can do to protect our own computers and networks and to make sure that no one is able to come onto the system and cause a mess by stealing our personal information.
