Linux Basics for Hackers PDF

Using Kali Linux, an advanced penetration testing distribution of Linux, you’ll learn the basics of using the Linux operating system and acquire the tools and techniques you’ll need to take control of a Linux environment.

First, you’ll learn how to install Kali on a virtual machine and get an introduction to basic Linux concepts. Next, you’ll tackle broader Linux topics like manipulating text, controlling file and directory permissions, and managing user environment variables. You’ll then focus in on foundational hacking concepts like security and anonymity and learn scripting skills with bash and Python. Practical tutorials and exercises throughout will reinforce and test your skills as you learn how to:

– Cover your tracks by changing your network information and manipulating the rsyslog logging utility
– Write a tool to scan for network connections, and connect and listen to wireless networks
– Keep your internet activity stealthy using Tor, proxy servers, VPNs, and encrypted email
– Write a bash script to scan open ports for potential targets
– Use and abuse services like MySQL, Apache web server, and OpenSSH
– Build your own hacking tools, such as a remote video spy camera and a password cracker

Hacking is complex, and there is no single way in. Why not start at the beginning with Linux Basics for Hackers?

Review

I know that there are many good reviews for this book already and that I will be lost in the shuffle. However, I would like to give you my opinion.

The book is not three inches thick. I don’t have time to read a three-inch book.

The book moves along at a great pace with just the right level of detail. If I want more detail on a subject, I’ve got the internet at my disposal.

The book is not a tutorial. You can turn to any chapter and get instant value. I’ve been coding for 37 years. I hate tutorial books. I don’t want to follow some tedious example for two-thirds of a book. I want the flexibility to learn at my own pace and learn subjects in the sequence I choose.

The book says “hackers” and “Kali” but it is not. I wanted to learn enough Linux quickly in order to find my way around and be productive on that operating system. This book gave me that. I use Ubuntu desktop and server.
