Thrd Step Learn How t Prgrm
If u wnt t be a klld hacker, u huld know how t create your wn rgrm. Prgrmmng kll r mrtnt fr anyone wh is ru but hkng. It true that there are tons of rgrm and ready-made tools vlbl nln. Hwvr, rlng on thr peoples work nt a gd d. Th ability to create ur wn rgrm nd mdf xtng hkng tl can hl u grtl in ur quest t become a hkng xrt.
There r a lt f programming lngug tht u n h frm. But f you r a total nwb, you should tud Python frt. Pthn one of th mlt programming lngug ut thr. Hwvr, t is extremely effective in writing d fr hkng ur. Th is th main rn wh many hkr rfr this lngug over C++ r Rub. Yull learn mr about Pthn n th nxt htr.
How t Hk with Pthn
Pthn n f th bt programming lngug fr hacking. This lngug t learn nd wrful nugh t tf ll f your rgrmmng nd. In th htr, ull learn th b f Pthn. You wll know hw t launch t, hw to wrt codes wth t, and hw to ml t.
Imrtnt Nt: Th htr assumes tht you r ung Kali Linux, an rtng system tht is rtd fr hkr. Kl Lnux ntn hundrd f built-in hkng tl that u n u t tt your systems r attack thr ntwrk. In addition, th OS is mltl fr.
How to Gt Pthn Modules
An excellent benefit of ung Kl Lnux tht t comes wth a pre-installed vrn of Python. Tht means u can start writing codes without dwnldng nthng. Th default mdul nd lngug lbrr f Python allow you to rfrm a wd rng f activities. For instance, the rd-md vrn f Pthn h exception hndlng, fl handling, mth and numbr modules, and dt t.
Pthn built-in tl nd components r nugh to rt fftv hkng tools. But u n enhance the fftvn and flexibility f th lngug b downloading ddtnl mdul frm thrd-rt sources. These extra mdul are th main rn wh many hackers h Pthn fr their rgrmmng needs.
Intllng a Mdul
Just lk thr Lnux systems, Kali Lnux rur wgt when acquiring new fl r programs frm th internet. This command dwnld ur hn file or rgrm from its rtv repository. Thn, you have t dmr th dwnldd module and u the fllwng mmnd:
Python tu. install
Lt um tht you wnt t dwnld Nm (a thn mdul) frm www.xl.rg. T gt th mdul, you must:
1. Turn on ur Kl Lnux mutr.
2. Launch a trmnl (th mll wndw tht tk ur nut).
3. T th fllwng code:
Kl > wgt http://xael.org/norman/python/python-nmap/python-nmap-0.3.4.tar.gz
4. Extract th file by tng:
Kl > tr xzf python-nmap-0.3.4.tar.gz
5. Access the drtr u rtd by entering:
Kl > d python-nmap-.03.4/
6. Issue the code given blw to fnh th process:
Kali > python tu. install
Congratulations. Yu ufull ntlld a Pthn module n ur Kl Lnux computer. Now, you can u the said mdul for ur hkng tvt. Important Nt: Th the mthd tht you mut u t dd more mdul t your operating tm. It mght m lng nd mlx t frt. But n u get used t it, rtng a large lltn of thrd-rt modules wll b a walk n th park.
