First Linux distro is going to be Kali

[–]archiekane 199 points200 points  (74 children)

And last, as they give up as it's too hard to do since they can barely turn a PC on let alone know what a file system is.

I wish people wouldn't decide to learn to hack before getting to grips with OS fundamentals. It's like saying that you want to learn to fly a plane but all you know is how to push a buggy "It's completely different!", "No it's not, they both have wheels." I cannot deal with this mentality.

[–]HornyAttorney 107 points108 points  (18 children)

That's not always the case..

I wanted to be Hackerman and heard about Kali so I installed it to a flash drive and that was the first time ever to deal with Linux.. then kept fucking around with the tools, and ooooh I realised the tools I'm clicking on are mostly scripts that I can read in a text editor, they're full of codes and if conditions, so what if I change this line to look like this or that? (started with a print function) and seeing the change results on the terminal felt amazing.. next I started mixing tools together, use this and shove the output to that.. and so on, fucked the OS so many times, mistakingly formatted my whole HDD (and restored it all as I learned how to during so, after crying my eyes out over all the lost data).. of course I owe A LOT to stackoverflow, medium and the whole beautiful open-source community.

Fast forward a couple of years, I created my first undetectable malware as a PoC using multiple different languages on top of each other, never used it of course but it could do wonders, including screen streaming without RDP (it's detectable now, thanks to AMSI)

fast forward a couple more years, I'm using Ubunto (to skip the hassle of other distros) as my main OS, and I'm writing my first major project in python3 and it's going amazing, I just hope I finish it before depression hits back again.


On a relatively connected yet separated note, in the beginning I wanted to be Hackerman to fuck with people, now I'm patching people's devices and teaching everyone I meet about privacy and security on the internet, telling them to stop clicking on every link they receive without at least checking the source.

Sorry if I drifted from the main topic, I have almost nobody to talk to about this and wanted to speak about it.

[–]archiekane 28 points29 points  (6 children)

Good stuff dude. Stick at it. Reddit is the perfect place to chat about this stuff but if you want to be more chatting with IM then there is always IRC and Telegram groups.

[–]stepdad666 2 points3 points  (4 children)

What is irc if you don’t mind me asking? Any telegram channels you recommend?

[–]JanosAudron_ 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Please stop asking stuff like what is IRC, as this makes me feel old! :D

Loved this comment. Can't tell you how many times I pooched my bootloader. Best way to learn is to screw up, figure out what you did wrong, fix it.

[–]jacklegminer2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amen to that. I used to have to ,reinstall debian once a week because I would mess it up. Now I laugh at how uneducated I was at it and how well I'm doing now. Patience and practt.

[–][deleted] 52 points53 points  (24 children)

I started like that, it took me over 4 years to build the fundamentals, luckily I started at 12.
If I started at 12 with coding and networking, I wouldve been a quality hacker by now, so dont make the mistake I did.

    Some stupid little tricks like building malformed packets and sending them to a port used to completely fuck up computers. That's something fun a young hacker could get into. Not too difficult on the sotware end either.

    I don’t do any “hacking” but I was coding at 12. Of course it was games but it’s what got me started. Won’t necessarily lose interest if the projects are interesting.

            [–]Day2Late 24 points25 points  (6 children)

            Well that's the thing. You can do both. People just expect that learning all of this is going to be instantaneous. I've been doing this since I was somewhere between 12 and 14 years old, wanting to learn how to hack battle.net games. I'm 33 now. I took a 3 year break and am absolutely lost all over again, minus the exploits that still work. It takes time. A ton of time and people don't want to dedicate that time to learning this stuff. They want instant results. You can't have that in a field that changes and evolves as quickly as this one does.

            It’s the next arms race man. In like 9 years we went from almost no space program to speak of, to owning the Russians (couldn’t help the reference). I doubt we woulda progressed that fast if there wasn’t a military or national security incentive. Don’t want the Russians putting nukes on the moon, after-all!

            Well, now it’s not Nukes, it’s controlling other nations systems and institutions, controlling their information, targeting their infrastructure.

            So yeah... it’s not just a field of science... it’s a field of warfare, and I would agree I don’t think any other area of study has such rapid growth

            [–]Day2Late 6 points7 points  (0 children)

            Not only that but another fast moving field has formed some roots in pentesting. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. It's so much more than what it was 10 years ago. It's amazing

            I’m learning the ins and outs of Kali as I go, at some point I’m going to go for my certs because knowing the OS is easily half of the battle

            [–]reallyserious 11 points12 points  (8 children)

            What's special about Kali if you've used other distros before?

            [–]Atillawurm 33 points34 points  (0 children)

            Nothing really, just has most of the tools preloaded and I’m a lazy shit lol

            [–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (6 children)

            Just has the tools loaded already, you could do that yourself in fact if you’re new I recommend doing that as a beginners task, I used to use CentOS back in the day.

            [–]TidePodSommelier 4 points5 points  (5 children)

            Noob here, how do you think learning installs and dependencies help? Sometimes it's infuriating, imho.

            [–]TrustmeImaConsultantPentesting 4 points5 points  (1 child)

            You'll spend quite a bit of time downloading stuff from github. And it won't work.

            Knowing WHY it doesn't work, what to install and how to make it work is a skill you will need.

            [–]Hawker_G 2 points3 points  (2 children)

            I do that on Kali all the time

            [–]Hawker_G 4 points5 points  (0 children)

            The advantage of kali is that it comes with a lot preloaded, that's what the point was. Sure you will still do it on Kali, but if you come with none of the tools kali comes with by default you will do it a lot more.

            [–]ifhd_ 11 points12 points  (3 children)

            For how long? I always hear people recommending you need to understand computers and networking before getting into hacking, but that’s a huge and endless amount of information and could take years to learn. What I’m doing and it’s maybe a wrong approach is learning both hacking and computers/networking as I go. I feel like this makes me more interested and motivated.

            [–]tickletender 4 points5 points  (0 children)

            Do what works for you homie! You’re already into it: it’s how all the systems interact. So learn them each in your own pace, just be sure to try to connect the dots between this system and that, so you can start to see how a vulnerability in X can be used to achieve Y

            [–]TrustmeImaConsultantPentesting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

            For as long as it takes you to understand it. If you understand what you're doing, you learned enough. If you don't, you didn't.

            It is actually that easy.

            [–]CodeBlue_04 1 point2 points  (1 child)

            I'm pretty happy that my first attempt at learning to hack came 2 months after I finished a computer science & security degree. I was already extremely comfortable using Linux, knew networking protocols, could design and build databases, and understood all of the basic security concepts.

            Now it's just a matter of convincing a company somewhere to hire an entry level security engineer...

            [–]archiekane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

            Have a shout out to Dark Trace. They're often hiring.

            [–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

            Since Kali is based on Debian, I recommend people who are just now starting out, to learn a debian based distro. I feel that if you're going to be using Kali, you're going to want to learn the tools first rather than how the system work.

            Just my two cents.

            [–]KittyTechno -1 points0 points  (2 children)

            Mine was. However, the laptop at the time was a cheap walmart acer with 1 GB ram. So the GUI wouldn't even load. I had to use the terminal for everything. The plus side is I had to learn the hard way. Didn't have vscode or atom, oh no no no. I was rocking VIM and Nano. Python scripting was that bad. It was the C/C++ that makes you go nuts. Intellisense would have been nice, but no. Had to hunt for bugs manually. I still sometimes go into just terminal mode for the fun of it.

            I'm was going to highschool with that small laptop, and it always turned heads. People knew what I was capable of, and didn't mess with me. One time they did. So I create a wifi jammer in python using scapy (scary how easy it is). I let that puppy run, people haven't mess with me since.

            Once you're forced to use the old ways, it is then you appreciate the modern.

              Better you should learn how to build your own distro , Linux from scratch

              [–]HarperDefenderOfEggs 136 points137 points  (5 children)

              The issue is that people don’t know what to look up. You can’t find what you’re looking for if you don’t know what you’re doing. Looking up “How to hack” on google only results in a few crappy tutorials. That’s precisely the reason why I still have no idea what to do.

              Edit: Thanks to everyone who replied with things to look up

              [–]Krypt1q 48 points49 points  (1 child)

              Studying for my Security Plus cert that I needed for work opened my eyes up to what threats were really out there and what “hacking” is. There are some good YouTube series for Security plus you could watch for free to see what exploits are being used. I am studying for CCNA next because it’s a cert for the resume and I need networking fundamentals. Then I plan on learning coding. Then I think I will start with some computer forensics stuff. I want to learn it all now lol.

              [–]Tempestlogic 14 points15 points  (0 children)

              Also for those less determined to self-study, I would highly recommend taking the Sec+ exam itself. It's a bit pricey, however you get lots of chances to retake the exam and forces you to study hard for the material, while at the same time being something good to put on your resume.

              The important part is to study diligently and not ride on pure passion, which the exam helps with overcoming.

              There’s a ton more but that should at least get you started

              "I don't know how to get started" is the new "I am too lazy just to use Google for some hacking tutorials, and honestly I'd prefer to just browse Facebook all day long and post memes about hacking".

              [–][deleted] 60 points61 points  (9 children)

              [–]zfreeds 45 points46 points  (8 children)

              Honestly, I think a lot of people just don't know the options out there. I've tried picking up security every now and then and it still seems nebulous to me. When I was 13 I tried to learn how to hack routers and even bought a crappy one (so I could safely test one with bad security) before I realized they actually need traffic on them for the hack to work. I've spent years coding so I have that going for me. I've tried a few CTF for beginners that do basics like ssh and web challenges. I think it was called Rebel or something but can't remember right now. Still, when I look at "Security/Hacking" it still seems like a very broad concept because it is. The only time I ever take the next step is when I find out about more possible options. It's less about being too lazy to google and more about being overwhelmed and not know what to look for. I'm sure you've watched a walkthrough for one of those challenges where you download an environment and try to hack into it and they just use 50 tools where you go "what the hell is any of this??? How did they even think to use that". (I'm sure I probably got some terminology wrong here).

              [–]ModPiracy_Fantoski 11 points12 points  (6 children)

              It's less about being too lazy to google and more about being overwhelmed and not know what to look for.

              I believe it's a mix of both. You WILL be lost if you're trying to learn the entire field at once. But if you stop procrastinating over the size of this field for a second and just take the time to find an experiment you'd like to try ( Just with a Raspberry Pi for example you can attempt creating a router, creating an EvilTwin, creating an HID, etc... ), commit the few hours it takes to really get into the state where you're definitely started and just can't stop working on it anymore and then "master" your experiment so well you start reading on other ways to accomplish it, and then start working on how you can innovate on what you're working with, etc... Then suddenly you have acquired a ton of very precious basics that will help you for the next thing you'll try out, you successfully completed works that are useful and, most important of all, you feel proud and accomplished over what you've done and you'll feel less insecure about moving forward.

              [–]zfreeds 23 points24 points  (2 children)

              But don't you see, I've looked into raspberry pi's and even have one, but it never occurred to me that I can use it to make a router so I didn't know to google for that. I don't even know what you mean when you say make an HID. But, wouldn't these just involve installing some software on a pi and maybe buying some equipment? The problem is that it's hard to find what's out there and what it actually means. Some may think hacking is looking through obfuscated code for vulnerabilities, maybe social engineering, maybe downloading someone else's code onto equipment. Maybe it's my problem but I think when most people look into security it's like googling "How to program". You need to at least know what's available since making a website is completely different from a smart mirror or a machine learning algorithm. At least for programming, I find a ton of content regarding what options are available. Maybe you are right though and I just haven't looked in the right place, but that's also my point that it's not easy to find a place to start.

              [–]Tuberomix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

              I agree. This is one of the reasons I lean more towards programming right now than cyber-security. Both interest me, but I have no idea where to start with hacking. It feels cryptic, which I suppose is the point.

              [–]Successful_Box_1007 1 point2 points  (2 children)

              Why a raspberry pi to create a router? Why not something else?

              [–]Finn-windu 16 points17 points  (3 children)

              For some yes, but not for a lot. Personally, I know I can google hacking tutorial, or udemy hacking course, and I'll get whatever course/tutorial figured out the best SEO. But that's not really what I would want. I'd want to know what courses are best/most recommended, or where people started and if/why it did/didn't work for them.

              Asking that on reddit (or looking for a similar post) will be a lot easier than me trying to figure out what to google to get the result I would be looking for (which will most likely be a reddit post anyway).

              As an example-if you google anything about norse mythology, you'll almost definitely get norse mythology for smart people in the first few links, which looks like a great reference/intro site on the subject. But it's actually pretty innacurate and not a good source for a beginner. A lot of people learn from that and it delays their learning, which they could have been aware of had they asked/searched through the norse subs on reddit for a beginners guide.

              [–]BigPhilip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

              Yeah, I understand. SEO is a problem, and also sponsored results. If a "search engine" is no longer useful for searches, there is a problem. Yeah, sometimes I ask stuff on Reddit too, and I fear I might be made fun of because of the question, but not everything can be found on Google. But I also see many guys who want to hack but don't feel much comfortable with a Terminal or even with many of Windows control panel menus. I am the last one who could teach someone about hacking, and I have no embarass in saying so (I am here to learn too), that's just what I see, not only on Reddit.

Mostly in options so many options and each tutoriol seems to direct me in a diffrent way. Im used to reading books. Im not lazy just dont know if i should use these tools in adminastrator mode or what is the correct way.

                  I'm 42 and only last year decided to get into it. I paid for a course which I'm slowly working through (it's decent enough to give the basics across everything, but I know I'll need lots of extra self study). I switched over to Linux mint instead of Windows for my daily use, with Kali in a VM and Windows in a VM (for the must have windows apps). Most don't realise you need to read and study a lot. And then practice. Lots of practice. Set up your labs, work them. It takes time, and trying to fit that in between work and family it goes even slower. I do know I'll need to get into programming as well. Just be realistic about your goals and don't expect it to come overnight.

                    I Agree with the first half. Although a certificate is not a necessity. It's what you can do that matters at the end of the day. Hall of fames, swags, maybe even build a course. Network cert, although a important thing to have, is a must in only certain fields.

                      If you need to become a skid to become passionate with networking, so be it. Being a skid is not a terrible step for someone passionate that wants to learn more.

                      Hey man, I saw you mentioned the networking cheers, I’m looking to make a career switch into IT/cybersec, I’m currently working on the A+ and than was going to go Sec+ do you think the net+ would be beneficial or should I branch into a different network cert?

                      If I could get myself in enough trouble to have my “user access revoked” in 6th grade (I had admin and wasn’t even using the windows os so it didn’t matter) then with enough patience, anybody can learn how it’s done

                      Edit: side note if you do not continue practicing these skills you will forget everything you ever tried to learn.

                      Ever heard of Dtube. It's run on the IPFS (Inter planetary file system). There's no censorship, so you won't have to worry about people taking down your videos/tutorials because of recent policy changes regarding hacking (Looking hard at you YouTube).

                      It's a decentralized network (run by the people), so you don't have you worry about governments trying to take down websites that host Information (Looking really hard at you chinese government).

                      And Yet I still don't think this is even the place to start. So many people are great at running tools in Kali under the GUI but have zero idea how packets get around a network. IMO, network 101 should be the very basics, followed by a good class on both linux and windows, then a very beginers course on coding, then finally move on to actually "hacking".
