    Introduction

    Thank you for taking the time to read my guide on ethical hacking with Kali Linux. It is, without a doubt, the most powerful platform and the most popular for penetration testing and other forms of ethical hacking and is the result of many years of continuous evolution and refinement.

    It was never built to be just a collection of hacking tools, as some believe it to have been. Instead, it is one of the most flexible frameworks available for the security enthusiast, the professional penetration tester, and for the beginner in ethical hacking, like you. It is customizable and, yes, it does contain a great many useful tools, some of which we will be using throughout this book.

    The objective of my book is to give you a thorough grounding in ethical hacking and, to that end, not only will I be giving you an overview of ethical hacking and the different types of hackers, I’ll be showing you how to install Kali Linux on VMWare and walking you through, step by step, some of the ethical hacking practices that you can do.

    I want help you understand all you need to know about ethical hacking and how to protect your own system by doing it; the best way to find the vulnerabilities in your computer system and network is to hack into it and then fix what you find. That keeps you safe from the not-so-ethical hackers that will take advantage of any vulnerability in your system.

    This book has been written for beginners and contains practical examples to help you on your way; theory is never enough to learn how to hack in an ethical way, sometimes you have to get down and dirty too and that’s what we’re going to be doing.

    So, if you are ready to start your new journey, let’s dive into Kali Linux.

    Part One: The Basics of Hacking and Using Kali Linux

    A Brief History of Ethical Hacking

    We first heard the phrase, ethical hacking, back in 1995 when it was used by John Patrick, the Vice President of IBM but the concept is much older than that. There are those that claim the vast majority of hackers aim to be ethical hackers but, right now, that doesn’t seem to be the case with the news full of stories of major hacking scandals and it really isn’t any wonder that all hackers are tarred with the same brush of being nothing more than criminals. To gain a better understanding of the truth, we need to go back in time.

    The Hacker’s Origins

    When we talk about ethical hacking in terms of history, what we are really taking about is general hacking. It wasn’t always considered bad to be a hacker and the modern context of the word actually came from MIT, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

    During the 1960s, the term was commonly used by students of engineering to describe several methods of system optimization and machine optimization to make them more efficient. Hacking was nothing more than a kind of hobby, done by some incredibly bright people and the idea of an ethical hacker comes way before the idea of the criminal hacker.

    Tiger Teams and Phreakers

    It wasn’t until the 1970s that things began to get a bit darker. As computers grew in popularity, so did the number of people of understood computer programming and systems languages and they were starting to see that there were potential benefits to testing systems to see what they could do.

    It was about this time that we started to hear of ‘phreakers’, people who could manipulate the telecommunication systems, and who could truly understand the nature of the telephone networks. They would make use of devices that could mimic a dialing tone for the purpose of routing phone calls – this gave them the opportunity to make their own phone calls free of charge, particularly the long distance calls that were very expensive. It could be argued that phreakers were considered to be
