Kali Linux

Kali Linux is Debian based Linux Distro which used by most of the Security researchers and penetration testers for pen testing of software's, websites, networks etc. It was developed by the Offensive Security Team.

Kali Linux on high usage become quite unstable but that's only on high usage hope you understood what I want to tell you. Kali Linux being a Debian based Linux performs unusual sometimes, but the researchers are striving hard to keep the OS as good as possible. 

It comes with 600 preinstalled tools for penetration testing which gives Kali Linux a tag of the best penetration testing OS till date.

Kali Linux is said to be a modified or you can call it as updated version of Backtrack OS. Which was back in the past was considered as the best OS for hacking. Backtrack till date is remembered for its high performance and precise results. Some researchers till use Backtrack. 

I personally never used Backtrack but would love to use it once, and will share my experience of using backtrack with my blog readers.

Kali is useful for professionals as well as the beginners as it offers good user interface and a lot of tools have GUI version of themselves which removes the barrier between the professional and beginners as the beginners can perform the same scans as the professionals do by giving commands.

Kali Linux latest version has really good UI than the kali older one which makes the operating system look handier.

The power of the Linux is in the usage of open source. The greatest amongst all.

I will be telling you more about Kali Linux and will also start with the Website penetration testing guides later on my blog.

Managing Output with Manipulators in C++

Well, when I started studying C++ or you can say when I was forced to study CPP I was like already I have Maths, Physics and Chemistry to study so why this shitty extra burden on my shoulders. But that subject which I was forced to study or having no other option instead of studying CPP became my passion now. Anyways that's a hell of a story! So, this piece of reading will give you an explanation about what are manipulators and how they are implemented in CPP. Manipulators By the name you might have already thought that this is going to be something related to manipulation of something. Well, you are on a right track So, you already got an idea what it is about I would like to make it clear that what is that "something". That something is nothing but Input and Output operations. Well, in this post we will be focusing mainly on Managing Output with Manipulators. Lets, start the boring thing! The header file iomanip provides a set of functions call

What is sniffing?

Image
Wiretapping is a process of monitoring the telephone and internet conversations by a third party attackers connect a hardware or software or combination of both to the switch carrying information between two phones or hosts on the internet. Types of wire taping 1. Active wire taping : It only monitors, records the traffic (silently) and also alters the traffic. 2. Passive wire taping : It only monitors and records the traffic. Sniffing attacks are vulnerable to following protocols. 1. Telnet 2. FTP 3.SMTP 4. HTTP 5. POP3 6. NTP 7. IMAP 8. SNMP 9. RDP In network sniffing attacks are mostly done on data link layer and network layer of OSI reference model based switches Recommended sniffing tool is Wireshark.  Wireshark is available for both windows and Linux , it is the best tool for sniffing and it's absolutely free . You can download Wireshark from their official site  Wireshark download . Session Hijack

Creating a bootable USB.

A lot of people just asks me how to create a bootable USB easily. The funny part is that they mainly ask how to make it for Linux, I mean bro, if you don't know even how to make a bootable USB then you better should stick with windows OS, because it suits you better, but for the people who are reading this article for creating bootable USB, guys, first of all, I will tell you the simplest method. Don’t expect from me to explain to you how to make it using the command prompt. So, all you need is one software of 1 MB, your ISO file, a computer and yeah USB. So, just download the software Rufus from their official site(first link after typing Rufus on Google). Then make sure your ISO image file is downloaded. Now run the Rufus.exe file and then select the USB disk, from the first 'disk' option then in the bottom right of the application there will be a mall option.  Looking like a CD mounted on HDD. Click on that and select the ISO image file. A
