Kali Linux - Installation and Configuration

Kali Linux is one of the best security packages of an ethical hacker, containing a set of tools divided by the categories. It is an open source and its official webpage is https://www.kali.org.

Generally, Kali Linux can be installed in a machine as an Operating System, as a virtual machine . Installing Kali Linux is a practical option as it provides more options to work and combine the tools. You can also create a live boot CD or USB. All this can be found in the following link: https://www.kali.org/downloads/

BackTrack was the old version of Kali Linux distribution. The latest release is Kali 2018.1 and it is updated very often.
To install Kali Linux −

First, we will download the Virtual box  or Vmware workstation and install it.

Later, we will download and install Kali Linux distribution.

Instead of downloading  the images file you all can download that ova file extension . The benefits of it is that you do not have to install it. What you have to do is to just import it and run. No problem arises at all.

If you face any problem during any step jus email me on shivamsingh752@yahoo.in.

The default username and password of the Kali  Os is root and toor.
After opening the Kali machine first of all you should update it with the command  in terminal  apt-get update .  This command will update your repository.

NMAP and ZenMAP

NMAP and ZenMAP are useful tools for the scanning phase of Ethical Hacking in Kali Linux. NMAP and ZenMAP are practically the same tool, however NMAP uses command line while ZenMAP has a GUI. NMAP is a free utility tool for network discovery and security auditing. Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime. NMAP uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine which hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, which operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, etc. Now, let’s go step by step and learn how to use NMAP and ZenMAP. Step 1 − To open, go to Applications → 01-Information Gathering → nmap or zenmap. Step 2 − The next step is to detect the OS type/version of the target host. Based on the help indicated by NMAP, the parameter of

Types Of Network •LAN - Local Area Network is in a small geographical area, such as a college or office building. •WAN - Wide Area Network Combination of multiple LANs. •WLAN - Wireless Local Area Network Links two or more devices using some wireless distribution method and usually providing a connection through an access point to the wider internet. Local Area Network (LAN) •A LAN connects network devices within a limited geographical area such as office buildings or schools. •The data transfer is managed by a transport protocol such as TCP/IP. •The transmission of data is performed by the access method (Ethernet, Token Ring, etc.). Wide Area Network (WAN) •A WAN covers a wide geographic area, carrying data over long distances, such as a country •WANs can be formed by different LANs •The connection between different LANs may not be permanent •WANs are sophisticated networks, but transmission speeds have generally been slower than those commonly achieved on LANs WLAN (Wireles

INFORMATION GATHERING USING NMAP (AND OTHER TOOLS)

That's right. You read that correctly. NMAP, the world's leading port scanner and one of the few tools that should be in every single tester's toolkit, can help you determine a lot of information regarding a target. Host discovery, my friends. NMAP can help you discover lots of information about the hosts on the outward-facing interfaces of a network. And it does all this without touching the hosts in question. That's right. You can perform lots of recon with nmap without slinging a single packet at the target hosts. Previously, we've discussed using Maltego to determine host information (IP's, owner information, etc). Now we're going to do the same from the command line (and do it a might bit quicker, too). But first a little history ... 1. Setting the Wayback Machine to 199x The Internet runs mainly because a service, provided by Domain Name System (DNS), translates “friendly names” (like “www.google.com”) to IP addresses (74.125.91.106) and then route
