Anyways, this page is here to guide the users. It must be noted that this is meant for someone who is here for the first time and is a newbie when it comes to hacking.
General Tips
- A good idea will be to bookmark this page (Ctrl + D usually) and keep coming back to it to see your progress.
- If you find any mistake in the tutorial, or have any suggestions, please leave behind your comments.
Kali Linux
It's quite likely that you came to this website via search engine, and landed on this tutorial - Tutorial on hacking with Kali Linux. If this is not the case, I recommend that you go there and read that tutorial. This will help you to -
- Get a general idea about what Kali Linux is.
- Download Kali iso
- Have Kali linux up and running (There are links in that post on how to do that. Tutorials are present for Virtual machines, live booting, and dual boot).
- Get some linux command line basics.
It is worth noting that the third step could be considerably hard, as many users don't have any idea what a virtual machine is, what dual booting means, and what live booting means. This might be their first time experience with such complicated stuff. It takes everyone a good while to figure out stuff, and this step might take longer than excepted. The fourth step is quite optional, but recommended. It will be definitely helpful when you have to use tools in Kali which works only via command line.
After reading the tutorial, and having Kali Linux up and running, one can proceed to the next part.
Wireless Hacking
A common problem
Most people enter the world of hacking via the domain of wireless network password cracking. This is the simplest way to get started, and I personally recommend it. However, most people also don't have an understanding about virtual machines, but are working on it. You'd learn about them with time, but the first thing you should know about them is that they have limited access to inbuilt hardware. For our purposes, it should suffice to know that your Kali Virtual machine can't use your laptop's inbuilt wireless network card. There are 2 solutions-
1) Use an external wireless card. This is recommended since it's quite likely that your internal wireless network cards drivers aren't available in Kali, or injection support (you'll learn about that later) is not available. I recommend purchasing an alfa card, and also recommend that you do some research before you purchase anything.
2) You can dual boot/ live boot Kali. Dual boot can be a bit risky at times, especially if you make a mistake during the partitioning phase. Also, Windows bootloader works in mysterious ways, and Grub might fail to recognize the MBR and stuff, causing issues. It's not recommended to do a dual boot unless you know what you're doing. Anyways, back up all your data.
Getting started
Now while there's no hard and fast rule here, but it's generally a good idea to start your life as a hacker by hacking some wireless networks. Here is a list of tutorials (read them in this order)
- Introduction to aircrack-ng suite and first steps in wireless hacking - This post will give you the easiest way to hack wireless networks. If you face any problems, don't worry, just make sure you learnt all that the post had to offer. Basically, spend nearly and hour reading this tutorial and understanding what each step does. Then move to the next tutorial even if you are unable to hack the wireless network. However, make sure you follow the tutorial to the last step, and resolve any error you find in the process.
- The missing ingredient - This post will tell you why (if at all) you didn't succeed in the previous attempt to hack the wireless network you targeted.
- Wifite - Now in this post, you won't be learning anything worthwhile, but you will hack some wireless networks, and quite easily too.
- Fast WEP cracking - ARP Replay - This is a complex WEP attack, and you should only read this tutorial after you've read the previous three.
- WPA with WPS cracked easily using Reaver - Now WPA is a hard nut to crack, but with WPS enabled, it becomes quite easy.
- WPA handshake capture - Now without WPS, WPA networks are really hard to crack, and the process can be broken down into steps. This is the first step.
- Evil Twin - Now if you have read, understood and carried out all the above attacks, then this is going to be a good read, and you'll surely enjoy what you'll be doing here.
Some extra tutorials-
These two tutorials are for the same purpose, creating your own virtual wifi for practicing hacking. The problem is, the wireless network created is WPA-2 (most modern OS, including Windows, don't let you create WEP secured virtual wifis), which isn't going to be easy to crack.
Penetration Testing
Some basics -
- Basic Penetration testing terms (I recommend that you take a look here, as I'm going to use the terms freely without any explanation here in this tutorial)
- The tough manual way of penetration testing (A large patch of advanced material which will help you become a great pentester if you have the patience to read it all and capability to understand it)
- VMWare tools (Without Vmware tools there is no way you can have a Kali linux (attacker machine) and unpatched XP (target machine) running at the same time in one single computer)
The real thing is here -
- Hack Windows XP - First thing to do when you start pentensting
- Post exploitation fun after you've hacked windows XP - An obvious sequel of the previous tutorial.
Now, after this, you can take a look at the dropdown menus of Wireless and Pentesting. See if there's anything you haven't done so far (there's a lot more posts under pentesting than I've discussed here)
Sql Injection
3 tutorials on SQLi-
I think after going through all these posts you would know how to navigate around the website and find more content that you like.

then you have to set your pc to boot from the usb and thats it you will see your kali come to life
Tried to dual boot, messed up the partitioning, lost everything. Totally my fault, too bad I didn't back up.
ReplyDeleteAh well, it happens, but now my computer is just Kali Linux, so yeah. If only I knew how to use it better, but I'm getting there, thanks to your great tutorials. :)
