Software (Example) - Kali Linux

Now I would be showing an example of how to use Kali Linux. Kali Linux is mainly a command-line OS so what you can see down here is a terminal which is where you enter the commands. There is an example of a command I entered in the terminal contained in the YELLOW BOX the purpose of the command is to change the user from user perfect to user root which is an admin user with all access.

The area contained in a RED BOX tells you the current user mode you are in and your current directory.



Now to File, when you click on the files button as shown below it brings many options to choose from like open a new tab, close the tab or quit.



The next is Actions, when you click on the actions button it also brings options like clear active terminal, find, split terminal horizontally or vertically, and so on.


The next is Edit, which allows you to choose from options like copy, paste and zoom. Although all these can be done with command shortcuts these are alternatives.


The View button, as shown below allows you to hide the window border, show tab, change to Fullscreen, adjust layouts and more.


Finally, the Help button provides links to documents which you can read for help with a command or doing something on the command line.

There are steps an ethical hacker needs to follow because we are ethical people backed by the law to do what we do so. The processes are a six-step industry standard process which is:  1. Reconnaissance Upon receiving explicit and contractual consent from the organization, the reconnaissance portion of the hacking process can begin. This involves collecting as much information as possible about the “target” using the various tools at the hacker’s disposal, including the company website, internet research, and even social engineering. These are all similar to the types of behaviours that a malicious hacker would engage in when attempting to breach an organi...

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.

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.

However, ethical hacking is not a license to conduct attacks indiscriminately. Ethical hacker...
