Kali Linux 2 ??? Assuring Security by Penetration Testing

Chapter 1. Beginning with Kali Linux

This chapter will guide you through the wonderful world of Kali Linux v 2.0—a specialized Linux distribution for the purpose of penetration testing. In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • A brief history of Kali
  • Several common usages of Kali
  • Downloading and installing Kali
  • Configuring and updating Kali

At the end of this chapter, we will describe how to install additional weapons and how to configure Kali Linux.

A brief history of Kali Linux

Kali Linux (Kali) is a Linux distribution system that was developed with a focus on penetration testing. Previously, Kali Linux was distributed as BackTrack, which itself is a merger between three different live Linux penetration testing distributions: IWHAX, WHOPPIX, and Auditor.

BackTrack is one of the most famous Linux distribution systems, as can be proven by the number of downloads, which reached more than four million as of BackTrack Linux 4.0 pre final.

Kali Linux Version 1.0 was released on March 12, 2013. Five days later, Version 1.0.1 was released, which fixed the USB keyboard issue. In those five days, Kali had been downloaded more than 90,000 times.

An updated version, Kali Linux 2.0, was released on August 11, 2015. This distribution aimed to provide a better end-user experience, while still maintaining the full functionality of the previous versions. One of the major improvements available in Kali Linux 2.0 was moving toward a rolling distribution. This meant that the Kali Linux developers were pulling updated base Linux packages directly as they were updated, giving the user a stable platform that is updated regularly.

The following are the major features of Kali Linux (http://docs.kali.org/introduction/what-is-kali-linux):

  • It is based on the Debian Linux distribution
  • It has more than 600 penetration testing applications
  • It has vast wireless card support (this will come in handy later on in this book)
  • It has a custom kernel patched for packet injection
  • All Kali software packages are GPG signed by each developer
  • Users can customize Kali Linux to suit their needs
  • It supports ARM-based systems

Kali Linux tool categories

Kali Linux contains a number of tools that can be used during the penetration testing process. The penetration testing tools included in Kali Linux can be categorized into the following categories:

  • Information gathering: This category contains several tools that can be used to gather information about DNS, IDS/IPS, network scanning, operating systems, routing, SSL, SMB, VPN, voice over IP, SNMP, e-mail addresses, and VPN.
  • Vulnerability assessment: In this category, you can find tools to scan vulnerabilities in general. It also contains tools to assess the Cisco network, and tools to assess vulnerability in several database servers. This category also includes several fuzzing tools.
  • Web applications: This category contains tools related to web applications such as the content management system scanner, database exploitation, web application fuzzers, web application proxies, web crawlers, and web vulnerability scanners.
  • Database assessment: Tools in this category allow for the ability to test the security of a variety of databases. There are a number of tools designed specifically to test SQL databases.
  • Password attacks: In this category, you will find several tools that can be used to perform either off-line or on-line password attacks.
  • Wireless attacks: Testing wireless security is becoming more and more common. This category includes tools to attack Bluetooth, RFID/NFC, and wireless devices.
  • Exploitation tools: This category contains tools that can be used to exploit the vulnerabilities found in the target environment. You can find exploitation tools for the network, web, and database. There are also tools to perform social engineering attacks and find out about the exploit information.
  • Sniffing and spoofing: Tools in this category can be used to sniff network and web traffic. This category also includes network spoofing tools such as Ettercap and Yersinia.
  • Post exploitation: Tools in this category will be able to help you maintain access to the target machine. You might need to get the highest privilege level in the machine before you can install tools in this category. Here, you can find tools for backdooring the operating system and web application. You can also find tools for tunneling.
  • Reporting tools: In this category, you will find tools that help you document the penetration testing process and results.
  • System services: This category contains several services that can be useful during the penetration testing task, such as the Apache service, MySQL service, SSH service, and Metasploit service.

To ease the life of a penetration tester, Kali Linux has provided us with a category called Top 10 Security Tools. Based on its name, these are the top 10 security tools commonly used by penetration testers. The tools included in this category are aircrack-ng, burp-suite, hydra, john, maltego, metasploit, nmap, sqlmap, wireshark, and zaproxy.

Besides containing tools that can be used for the penetration testing task, Kali Linux also comes with several tools that you can use for the following:

  • Reverse engineering: This category contains tools that can be used to debug a program or disassemble an executable file.
  • Stress testing: This category contains tools that can be used to help you in stress testing your network, wireless, web, and VOIP environment.
  • Hardware hacking: Tools in this category can be used if you want to work with Android and Arduino applications.
  • Forensics: Tools in this category can be used for a variety of digital forensic tasks. This includes imaging disks; analyzing memory images, and file carving. One of the best forensic tools that is available with Kali Linux is Volatility. This command line tool has a number of features for analyzing memory images.

For the purposes of this book, we are focusing only on Kali Linux's penetration testing tools.

Fantastic read / manual for anyone that is interested in learning Penetration Testing and may go on to take the OSCP course & exam to gain a recognised qualification in this field.

This book is a value. I would say if one is serious about learning Kali Linux 2 and pen testing, go for it. There are some practical hands on tasks through out this book. I found it helpful to first read through them and then go back and preform them on my VM. I don't think I will doing any of this in the real world after learning about various cases of cyber crime and the punishments associated with them. It is nice (or scary) to understand how it all works and the possibilities of what can be done. A good understanding of Ruby, Perl, MySQL, Bash,...etc and various Linux OS commands would be helpful to know prior.

Its a book about kali, i for once would like a book that has everything it needs to work out the details on a dvd included with it. A lot of downloading of other products other then Kali ~ to things that require a new set of creds at other sites.

What is an eBook? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Packt eBooks are a complete electronic version of the print edition, available in PDF and ePub formats. Every piece of content down to the page numbering is the same. Because we save the costs of printing and shipping the book to you, we are able to offer eBooks at a lower cost than print editions.

When you have purchased an eBook, simply login to your account and click on the link in Your Download Area. We recommend you saving the file to your hard drive before opening it.

For optimal viewing of our eBooks, we recommend you download and install the free Adobe Reader version 9.
