Hacking With Kali Linux (Full Guidance For Beginners)
Why Kali
Linux ?
With
Kali Linux, hacking becomes much easier since you have all the tools (more than
300 pre-installed tools) you are probably ever gonna need. Others can be
downloaded easily. Now this tutorial will get you started and you'll be hacking
with Kali Linux before you know it.
The Problem
With Beginners :
Now,
I've been dealing with beginners since a long time (and myself was one for a
long time too). What they want is magic. A tool which is easy to use, works on
Windows, can be download by searching on Google and clicking on the first link
we see, and will do all the hacking itself on the push of a button. Sadly, no
such tool exists (lets be real, would you use Facebook if a tool existed which
you could install on Windows, simply type the person's username/mobile
number/email and then just like that get his/her Facebook password?).
Hacking
is an art, and it takes years of practice to master it. So how to get started?
Having no idea about hacking is okay, but being a newbie with computers in
general is not allowed. When I say beginner, I mean someone who has no
experience with programming and with hacking methodologies. I didn't mean
someone who needs a 1 page guide on how to download a tool. If you want to be a
hacker, you have to work hard. So how to get started ?
Getting
Started :
Now, I
am not boring you with theory (^ As if all this wasn't enough theory). My aim
is to get you to the point where you can start hacking with Kali Linux as soon
as possible. What I'm gonna do is tell you what to do. The process is rather
simple :-
- If you are totally clueless as to what Kali Linux is - Go to Kali's Official Website and get an idea.
- If you haven't already done that,go to their download page and download Kali Linux iso file.
Things Get
Tough Now :
If you
have no previous experience with Linux and virtual machines and all that stuff,
getting Kali Linux up and running won't be a piece of cake.You have 2 options 3
options :
1. Read The
Kali Official Documentation
That
will give you an idea about what is a virtual machine, how OS can be run from
USB, and how to create a partition and run 2 OS simultaneously. This is what I
recommend. For that, go to Kali Official Documentation.
2. Read My
Modified Version Of Kali Documentation
The
second option is to look at these posts, which are just sparingly modified (and
now outdated) versions of the Kali docs, and offer no advantage other than
saving your time as their documentations cover much more than what the ones
here do, and you don't really need to know all so much... yet. I'm linking them
up here:
- Installing Kali Linux On Hard Disk using USB - Use RUFUS or Unetbootin
- Dual Boot Kali (alongside Windows) - Click Here
- Install Kali Linux in VmWare complete detailed guide - Click Here
3. Utilize
The Zillions Of Tutorials On Youtube (New Option)
The time
this guide was written (for the first time in 2013, then updated in 2014), Kali
wasn't so popular. However, now there are plenty of websites dedicated to Kali
Linux, and a lot of YouTube videos on how to install Kali. My installation
guides are outdated (mine are for Kali 1.0, now even Kali 2.0 is outdated and
Kali rolling is what most of you should be using). While you can use an old
installation guide and make a few changes and have it work for you, it's
better, especially if it's your first time installing an operating system
alongside another, that you follow a guide tailored for your situation (eg. if
you are installing Kali rolling on Windows 10 on virtualbox, then follow guide
for the exact same configuration, and not for Kali 2.0 on Windows 8 on Vmware).
Installing
an OS is serious business, don't take it lightly, and don't get discouraged if
you fail at first. Also, backup your data if you're going for a dual boot.
Command
Line Interface :
Now, if
you are really sure about becoming a hacker, you have to get used to linux, and
specifically the command line interface. It is often compared to (and rightly
so) to command prompt of Windows, but Linux' cli is much efficient and better
than command prompt. What you have to do is do all the usual tasks you do in
Windows in cli of Linux. Use cd to navigate, poweroff to shutdown, etc.
A pretty
awesome site for that is - http://linuxcommand.org/ Going through the complete
site is on its own enough exercise to keep you occupied for a month, but you
can proceed gradually. The first few tutorials here will keep in mind that you
don't have much info about cli, and will be really beginner friendly.
Some
Useful Commands :
If you
don't plan on learning all of linux cli commands, here are a few that will keep
your boat afloat.
- The default username and password is 'root' and 'toor'.
- Type 'poweroff' in the terminal to shutdown.
- apt-get command can be used to install tools and updates.
- apt-get update and apt-get upgrade will update all the programs installed on your machine.
- apt-get dist-upgrade will install the latest distribution of Kali(i.e. it upgrades your OS).
PS :
Tapping <tab> while typing makes Kali complete the word for you . Double
tapping <tab> makes it display all possible words starting with the
incomplete word. Ctrl+c stops the functioning of any tool that is running.
Pressing the up arrow key shows the command you last typed.
Some
Real Hacking With Kali Linux :
Assuming
you've gone through the above steps and are comfortable with your new hacking
environment, its time to do some real hacking with Kali Linux. My
recommendation would be to start by hacking a wifi, then do some penetration
testing, and maybe read something on Denial of Service when you have free time.
