In this lecture I will give a brief introduction about Linux so clearly Unix is an advanced penetration
distinctly an X distribution used for penetration testing ethical hacking and network security assessments
and penetration testing is the practice of safely testing a computer system network or with application
to find vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit and black hat hackers use the same tools in Kelly
Linux but we as deep into stars or white hat hackers will use them safely and with authorization from
the organization we conduct testing for.
So knowing how to use these tools included in telling Linux will be very useful for us as security analysts
the terms ethical hacking and penetration testing are often used interchangeably but still hacking.
On the other hand is a more general term that includes all hacking methods and other related cyber attack
methods.
So it requires wider knowledge and more work than testing which is more focused on a specific area of
interest.
So the main goal here is to identify the abilities implement countermeasures and test if that work.
And since these kids have been testing and if you can hacking are for Red Team security professionals
while the senior cyber certification is blue team security certification that focuses on security analysis
and incident response rather than testing then we will not take a deep look into Linux and its tools.
However knowing the basics and the main ideas is very useful for you as a security analyst so that you
can understand attacks in production and simulate them in your labs and we have hundreds of tools in
Kelly Linux that are organized into categories information gathering where we have tools such as multiple
in map and then map vulnerability analysis.
And here we have tools such as Nick tool and again in map password attacks using John the rebar of crack
and other tools wireless attacks which include tools such as aircraft easy exploitation tools such as
Armitage might exploit and skew the map.
How do we have web application releases database assessment and other categories and in the next picture
we will explore how to work with two tools that are very useful and very popular might exploit and in
map.
So in this lecture I have given a brief introduction about Kelly Linux.
