Introduction
The following chapters will discuss the different aspects that come with hacking on the Kali Linux operating system. This is one of the best operating systems to use when you want to begin learning how to hack and how to keep your own network safe. It ensures that you have all of the tools that you need to get started, and as we will explore in this guidebook, it is set up so that we can dual boot with other operating systems, making it easy to work on any computer that you would like.
This guidebook is going to take some time to look closer at hacking with Kali Linux, and all of the different parts that go with it. We will start out with some of the basics of hacking, such as the most common types of hackers and the differences between a black hat, white hat, and gray hat hackers. From there, we will move on to some of the hacks of the hacking process, including the steps that a hacker would take to help them learn more about a network and find their way onto that network through vulnerabilities without being detected.
We will then move on to some of the steps that are needed to work with installing this Kali Linux operating system on our system. We will look at how to dual boot it on a Windows computer and the different steps that we need to take to ensure this operating system is ready to go and can take on all of our hacking duties. From there, we can move on to looking at an introduction to cybersecurity and why this is so important for us to understand in order to keep our own networks safe.
Now that we have some of that introduction out of the way, it is time to dive into some of the different types of hacks and how we can prevent them from our own network. We will take a look at the malware attacks, cyberattacks, and how to scan our own networks and servers to get the best results in the process. Remember that the techniques that we use in this guidebook in ethical hacking are the same ones that a black hat hacker or malicious hacker would use, but this is a great way to make sure that we can protect our systems and networks from those with malicious intents.
Some of the other topics that we will spend time on in this guidebook include how to keep our networks safe from online attacks, the importance of a firewall, and how to understand the basics of cryptography and how this works with our hacking needs.
Hacking is a term that most people associate with something bad, and they may be scared to even learn more about how this process works. With this guidebook, we are able to take a look at how to hack with the Linux system and the best ways to protect ourselves from some of these bad attacks before they can take our information and wreak havoc. When you are ready to learn more about hacking with Kali Linux, make sure to check out this guidebook to help you out!
Chapter 1: The Different Types of Hackers
The first thing that we need to take a look at here in this guidebook is the different types of hackers. Often, when we hear about a hacker, we think of someone who is trying to get onto a system, usually one they have no right to access and stealing identities, personal information, and more things that they should not have control over. But there are actually a few different types of hackers out there.
The first type is someone who likes to try and get onto systems where they are not allowed. Usually, this is for their own purposes, and they are not concerned about how this will negatively affect the other person. For example, these kinds of hackers are likely to get onto a database for business and steal names, addresses, phone numbers, and credit card information of those who have shopped at that store.
But this is just one kind of hacker that is out there. They get the most attention because they are the ones who cause the most damage, but there are two other types of hackers that we need to discuss as well. For example, one type of hacker may try to get onto a system that they do not have access to, but they are not doing this to cause harm. Instead, they do this to show some of the weaknesses in that system or because they are bored and want to see if they can actually succeed with it.
Then there are actually those hackers who do the hacking legally. They have permission to be on the system, and they hack through it to see where the vulnerabilities are. They are often hired by the organization they are hacking, either as a fulltime staff or as a freelance worker, to help them protect against actual bad hackers and keep the information safe.
Even though there are different motivations behind the three types of hacking, they will all use some of the same techniques to get the job done. We are going to focus our work with the last type of hacker, looking at how you can perform and protect against a variety of attacks, but the same kinds of methods can be used with someone who has malicious intent on the system. With this in mind, lets dive a bit more into the three types of hacking, including the black hat hacker, the gray hat hacker, and the white hat hacker, and see how each one of these is a bit different.
The Black Hat Hacker
The first type of hacker that we are going to take a look at is the black hat hacker. This is the kind that is going to be heard in the news the most, the one that we think about when we hear about hacking in the first place. A black hat hacker is going to be someone who searches around for vulnerabilities in a security system and then will exploit them. The exploitation often occurs for either financial gain or some other kind of malicious reason.
