Introduction
The following chapters will discuss hacking in detail for beginners. We will introduce Linux along with commands that will help us understand better about bash language. We will then discuss about various tools in detail that belongs to kali Linux. We will now just give a rough introduction to hacking process so that you can have a comfortable mindset while reading this book.
Types of hackers:
In my understanding, hackers should be divided into two categories that is positive and evil. Decent hackers rely on their own knowledge to help system administrators identify vulnerabilities in the system and make the systems Perfect whereas evil hackers attack, invade, or do other things that are harmful to the network through various hacking skills. As they do things in an unethical way these people are called as Crackers instead of hackers.
Regardless of the type of hacker, their initial learning content will be the same as we discuss in this book and the basic skills are the same. Many people ask: "What do hackers do in peacetime? Some people understand hackers as boring and repeating humans that do the same work every day. But that is just a misunderstanding. Hackers usually need a lot of time to learn.
In addition to learning, hackers should apply their knowledge to the real world. No matter what kind of work a hacker does, the fundamental purpose is nothing more than grasping what they have learned in practice
The hacker's behavior mainly includes the following:
First, learning technology:
Once new technologies on the Internet appear, hackers must learn immediately and master the technology in the shortest time. The mastery here is not a general understanding, but reading about the protocol like rfc and gain an in-depth understanding of the mechanics of this technology. Once a hacker stops learning, he can no more be a hacker.
The knowledge that primary hackers want to learn is more difficult because they have no foundation or any guidance so they have to learn a lot of basic content. However, today's Internet brings a lot of information to readers and can make beginners overwhelming. Therefore, beginners can't be greedy. They should try to find a book and their own complete textbooks, and learn step by step. Glad you find your book and are going to dive into it in few pages.
Second, disguise yourself:
Every move of the hacker will be recorded by the server, so the hacker must disguise himself so that the other party can't distinguish his true identity. This requires skilled skills to disguise his IP address, use the springboard to avoid tracking, and clean up the record. It also includes disturbing the other party's clues and cleverly avoiding the firewall.
Camouflage is a very basic skill that hackers need to be achieve. This is a big world for beginners, which means that beginners can't learn to pretend in a short time. So, I don't encourage beginners to use their own learning. Without Knowledge don't attack the network because once your own behavior is revealed, the ultimate harm is on yourself.
Third, the discovery of vulnerabilities:
Vulnerabilities are the most important information for hackers. Hackers should often learn the vulnerabilities discovered by others, and try to find unknown vulnerabilities themselves, and find valuable and exploitable vulnerabilities from a large number of vulnerabilities. Of course, their ultimate goal is to destroy or fix this vulnerability through vulnerabilities.
The hackers obsession with finding loopholes is unimaginable. Their slogan says breaking authority. A program with a vulnerability is like a festival for hackers and they would love to mess it up to create more backdoors. Hackers find fun in breaking things.
Fourth, the use of vulnerabilities:
For decent hackers, the vulnerabilities should be patched and for evil hackers, vulnerabilities should be used to destroy. Hackers basic premise is "utilization of vulnerabilities". Hackers can use the vulnerabilities to do the following things:
1. Obtain system information:
Some vulnerabilities can leak system information, expose sensitive data, and further invade the system.
2. Intrusion system:
Can be used to enter through vulnerabilities into the system, or obtain internal information on the server, or completely become in charge of the server.
3. Looking for the next goal:
A victory means the emergence of the next target, hackers should make full use of the server they have been in charge as a tool to find and invade the next System.
4. Do some good things:
The decent hacker will complete the above work and will fix the loophole or notify the system administrator to do some things to maintain network security.
5. Do some bad things:
The evil hacker will do the above work. He will determine whether the server has value. If they have value, they will implant a Trojan or a back door on the server for the next visit. For those servers that don't have any value, they will never be merciless, and the system crash will make them feel infinitely happy.
This is just a basic introduction about hacking and we will discuss further in future about Hacking in detail. For now, we will start learning about kali Linux and Linux in detail along with a lot of tools that will start the hacking journey.
There are plenty of books on this subject on the market, thanks again for choosing this one! Every effort was made to ensure it is full of as much useful information as possible, please enjoy!
Chapter 1: Introduction to Linux
You will learn about Linux in detail in this chapter along with many examples of its distributions. Learning about Linux is necessary because due to its difference from windows in various aspects can make normal users confused and moreover learning about Linux and some of its commands and file directory system can give a good pathway to the rest of the book.
