Software (Evaluation-Functionalities) - Kali Linux

 


Kali Linux, primarily a command-line-based operating system, does not have a traditional "home window." However, it offers a lightweight graphical user interface called XFCE, providing a familiar desktop environment with access to the user's personal files and folders. In XFCE, users can navigate, manage, and perform file operations on their files, as well as launch applications from the desktop or application menu. Nevertheless, Kali Linux's strength lies in its command-line interface and extensive suite of security tools, which security professionals and penetration testers predominantly utilize.

The area contained in the RED BOX is the applications menu similar to the start bar in Microsoft. In this menu window, you have a graphical view of the apps available on the OS and can open them with a click.

In the area contained in the YELLOW BOX are the control bar, power button and time display. In this area, you can turn off the computer, control the volume and brightness and see the time.

Above the RED BOX is a quick access bar that has the frequently used apps on the OS for easy access. In this area, you can minimize all the windows open, go to the command line, go to the home directory and more.

INITIAL IDEA 1 - ENDPOINT SECURITY

Source: https://www.42gears.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/featured.jpg What is Endpoint Security? My initial idea pertains to endpoint security, which is an essential module in my cybersecurity path. Endpoint security is a cybersecurity approach used to defend endpoints such as desktops, laptops, and mobile devices from malicious activities (Crowdstrike, n.d.). According to Crowdstrike, a top endpoint security company, protecting endpoints is crucial in cybersecurity, from small businesses to large corporations. Why Secure Your Endpoints? The Ponemon Institute conducted a study that found 68% of organizations have experienced one or more endpoint attacks that successfully compromised data and/or their IT infrastructure (Expert Insights, 2021). Endpoints provide a large attack surface, and implementing endpoint security solutions can help reduce those attack surfaces. While it's impossible to completely eliminate cyberattacks, reducing the possibilities or chances of an attack occu...

MAJOR PROJECT THEME - ETHICAL HACKING

Source: https://www.softwaretestinghelp.com/wp-content/qa/uploads/2020/06/Ethical-Hacking.png Ethical hacking is a practice in which cybersecurity professionals use their skills to identify vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks. This approach helps organizations proactively detect and fix potential security issues before malicious hackers exploit them. Ethical hacking is a vital tool in today's world where cyber threats constantly evolve and become more sophisticated. The concept of ethical hacking is based on the idea that the best defence against cyber attacks is a good offence. Organizations can identify and fix vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them by conducting controlled and authorised attacks on their own systems. Ethical hacking also helps to improve the overall security posture of an organization, making it more resilient against future cyber attacks. However, ethical hacking is not a license to conduct attacks indiscriminately. Ethical hacker...
