Configuring network services and secure communications

Image
 The first step in being able to use Kali is to ensure that it has connectivity to either a wired or wireless network to support updates and customization. You may need to obtain an IP address by DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), or assign one statically. First, confirm your IP address using the ifconfig command from a terminal window, as shown in the following screenshot: In this particular case, the VM has been assigned an IP address of 192.168.204.132 . If an IP address was not obtained, an address can be assigned by DHCP using the command dhclient eth0 (or other available interfaces, which will depend on the specific configuration of the system being used). If a static IP address is used, additional information may be required. For example, you can assign a static IP of 192.168.204.128 as follows: host IP address: 192.168.204.128 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 default gateway: 192.168.204.1 DNS server: 192.168.204.10 Enter a terminal window and enter the following command...

Starting with Kali Linux

Image
 Kali Linux (Kali) is the successor to the BackTrack penetration testing platform which is generally regarded as the de facto standard package of tools used to facilitate penetration testing to secure data and voice networks. This chapter provides an introduction to Kali, and focuses on customizing Kali to support some advanced aspects of penetration testing. By the end of this chapter, you will have learned: • An overview of Kali • Configuring network services and secure communications • Updating Kali • Customizing Kali • Extending Kali's functionality with third-party applications • Effective management of penetration tests Kali Linux BackTrack (BT), ( www.offensive-security.com ) was released to provide an extensive variety of penetration testing and defensive tools that were perfect for auditors and network administrators interested in assessing and securing their networks. The same tools were used by both authorized and unauthorized (hackers) penetration testers. The final ver...
