WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:03.920 So with all that being said, let's dive in and begin exploring Recon‑ng. 00:00:04.940 --> 00:00:07.790 So the first thing that I want to bring to your attention is the website. 00:00:08.840 --> 00:00:14.220 So I'm going to open up a browser here, and I'm going to go to recon‑ng.com. 00:00:14.220 --> 00:00:20.060 And this currently redirects you over to the GitHub repository 00:00:20.140 --> 00:00:22.440 where the Recon‑ng source code is stored, 00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:24.850 and so obviously the source code is available there 00:00:24.850 --> 00:00:28.870 and the repository can be cloned, but I want to draw your attention to the wiki. 00:00:29.300 --> 00:00:31.770 A lot of time and effort has been put into this into 00:00:31.770 --> 00:00:35.230 documenting Recon‑ng to try to ease the learning curve of 00:00:35.230 --> 00:00:36.570 getting it up and running and using it. 00:00:36.570 --> 00:00:39.490 So, the wiki is where all of that documentation is contained. 00:00:40.120 --> 00:00:41.820 So here you can see the various pages, 00:00:42.870 --> 00:00:46.240 information about developing modules if that's something you're interested in, 00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:49.310 obviously we want to read features because it explains to you 00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:51.460 in greater detail some of the stuff that we're going to go 00:00:51.460 --> 00:00:54.320 over today, troubleshooting stuff, videos, 00:00:54.330 --> 00:00:56.060 all kinds of interesting stuff. 00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:58.640 But let's go to Get Started because this is where you're 00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:00.150 going to get things up and running. 00:01:01.180 --> 00:01:02.620 Now there's a couple different ways you can run it. 00:01:02.620 --> 00:01:06.310 You can try to install the prerequisites and dependencies and do it yourself, 00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:08.670 which I do not recommend because there are a lot of 00:01:08.670 --> 00:01:10.300 moving parts and it's difficult to do. 00:01:10.600 --> 00:01:12.520 You could try to use it on Kali Linux. 00:01:12.850 --> 00:01:16.050 I get a lot of bug reports from people not being able to 00:01:16.050 --> 00:01:17.930 get it to work right on Kali Linux. 00:01:18.140 --> 00:01:19.750 I personally don't recommend it. 00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:21.450 I don't support it either. 00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:22.310 Personally, 00:01:22.310 --> 00:01:25.270 you'll have to get in contact with the Kali Linux folks if it's not working 00:01:25.270 --> 00:01:28.440 there because they do some interesting things with the way that they package 00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:32.580 their stuff and distribute tools on their framework or on their distribution, 00:01:32.580 --> 00:01:35.450 and I'm doing a lot of stuff to change things. 00:01:36.140 --> 00:01:37.670 I'm doing a lot of things under the hood, 00:01:37.670 --> 00:01:40.080 which Kali Linux may not particularly like, 00:01:40.080 --> 00:01:41.990 so just take that with a grain of salt. 00:01:42.170 --> 00:01:45.270 What I recommend is using Docker. So if you click on this link, 00:01:45.270 --> 00:01:48.160 it will take you down, and these are the steps that I've gone through 00:01:48.340 --> 00:01:51.970 to configure the environment that I'm going to be using for demos 00:01:51.970 --> 00:01:57.050 during this particular instruction. So just follow these and you 00:01:57.050 --> 00:01:58.160 should be up and running easily. 00:01:58.160 --> 00:02:00.780 Obviously, that would require you to install Docker Desktop first. 00:02:01.170 --> 00:02:04.720 So, now that I've shown you that, let's go ahead and get Recon‑ng up and running. 00:02:05.080 --> 00:02:07.800 It is a Terminal application, so we're going to open up our Terminal 00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:11.009 emulator and I'll maximize the screen here for good viewing. 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:17.670 And I've gone ahead and I've assigned that long Docker command to an alias. 00:02:18.210 --> 00:02:21.330 The alias is Recon‑ng, so I'm going to run the command simply by 00:02:21.330 --> 00:02:24.350 typing recon‑ng. I would recommend that you do the same thing 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:26.270 when you set up your environment. 00:02:26.900 --> 00:02:34.590 So we go to recon‑ng, and it loads the interface.
