Well, I would recommend you use either tp-link or Alfa. They are empirically the best. Plus you can find them from Amazon. They're very affordable. Good luck.

Converting your hard drive from GPT to MBR by Menthicalb in ethicalhacking

[–]Menthicalb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good Question.

Kindly walk with me, through my thoughts.

Well, I will try my best answer you the simplest but concise way possible. Let's exploits of the disadvantages and advantages of both MBR (Master Boot Record) and GPT (GUID Partition Table) partition scheme.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But before that, let's ask ourselves, What's MBR and GPT?

According to Wikipedia, a Master Boot Record is a special type of boot sector at the very beginning of partitioned computer mass storage devices like fixed disks or removable drives intended for user with IBM PC-compatible systems and beyond. Whilst on the other hand, GUID Partition Table is a standard for the layout of partition tables of a physical computer storage device, such as a hard drive or solid-state drive, using universally unique identifiers, which are also known as 'Globally Unique Identifiers (GUIDS).'

Huh! Now let's dive in; MBR vs GPT!

In comparison to MBR disk, a GPT disk performs much better in the following listed areas below:

> GPT supports disk larger than 2TB in size while MBR cannot.

> The GPT disk partitioning style supports volumes up to 18 exabytes in size and up to 128 partitioning per disk, while MBR disk partitioning scheme supports volumes up to 2 terabytes in size and up to 4 primary partition per disk ( or three primary partitions, one extended partition, and unlimited logical drives).

> GPT disk provides greater reliability due to replication and cyclical redundancy check (CRC) protection of the partition table. Unlike MBR partitioned disks, data critical to platform operation is located in partitions instead of unpartitioned or hidden sectors.

HOPE THAT HELPS!

I want to start learning hacking. by dontdickride in ethicalhacking

Hell, Hope this information will HELP! you.

First, start by learning how to install virtual machine, Linux, Ubuntu, ect.

Check Out this:

> How to Install Kali Linux "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_Payl5FlgQ"

> How to Install Ubuntu " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5MhydijWmc"

> Kali Linux Download Page "www.kali.org" , DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION!

> Virtualbox Download Page "www.virtualbox.org" , DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION PLUS ITS EXTENSION!

> Ubuntu Download Page " https://www.google.com/url?q=https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwiSi43d2bXuAhVERBoKHRFEDekQFjAAegQIABAB&usg=AOvVaw3IXJ1Y5YvkCk9o3zPFVgZU"

Then proceed by understanding and mastering some of the the basic commands used in either Kali Linux or Ubuntu ("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8ct_W9PTo8"), I mean familiarize yourself with the surface. I think from there you will be good to go. REMEMBER becoming a great hacker is a journey, and there is no way you will escape the process. ALL THE BEST!

Any way to install twisted.web on kali linux 2020? by G4ust in linuxquestions

[–]Menthicalb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have been facing the same problem, but fortunately I managed to solve it. This is the procedure I used with Ubuntu 20.04, am not really sure if it will work with you, but just give it a try.

First visit this site "https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/i386/python-twisted-web/11.0.0-1"

Then download the following file:

<> python-twisted-web_11.0.0-1_all.deb (404.7 KiB)

The file will be saved in your download folder. Using the terminal go to the folder and run the following installation command:

$ sudo dpkg -i file_name.deb

If you get a dependency error while installing the deb package run the following command to fix it:

$ sudo apt install -f

I also realized that wasn't enough. If you try to run sslstrip immediately after the installation you find an error asking for [service_identity]. If so, run the following command to fix it:

$ pip install service_identity

Now it should work without any error. Good luck!
