What are /r/Kali_Linux_Essentials' favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Now the whole r/ is going to kill me for this... But try using Parrot OS, I've found it to be more optimized, includes just as many tools plus defensive measures, and more inclusive with hardware (just because it worked with my NIC) https://www.parrotsec.org

you literally can run it on your smartphone and vnc or ssh into it. all you really need is a good wireless card. use a stronger device for dictionary attacks if huge password.

Solid advice. I would add putting it in a VM. If it's in a VM you have more control over the OS, can take snapshots, make copies.. Etc.

If you are new to Linux, take a crash course and learn about the folder structure and some basic command line. Such as navigate, copy, move, search, install/remove packages. How to use arguments in a bash command... Etc.

If you come across a command and want to know what it does, paste it into http://explainshell.com/ it's a life saver.

General ease of use for your Kali box. The resolution will be low without it and with it you'll be able to resize the window and resolution will be adjusted automatically. Shared folders.. Anyway, here you go: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html & https://docs.kali.org/general-use/kali-linux-virtual-box-guest

If your laptop can handle it, download and install Virtualbox and then install Kali to a virtual machine.

If you only want to run it off a USB stick, your best option is to get a larger one. You can get a 16GB Sandisk for $6 or a 64GB Sandisk for $13 on Amazon.

This is a petty good tutorial: http://docs.kali.org/installation/kali-linux-dual-boot-on-mac-hardware

But don't make a new ext4 partition. Make a HFS+ partition and then later when you install Kali Linux modify the partition. (If you do it the other way it Linux won't boot and you will have to format the partition again)

You can (if you don't want to boot into Kali Live and then after that install it) "repartition" your HD with your standard OS (El Capitan).

If rEFInd is not working properly: http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/sip.html (Disabling SIP) After that simply reboot and reinstall rEFInd.

I really hope this helps you and you don't have to spend that much time on this (like I did).

Hi, Yes i followed dojo usb tutorial (https://www.kali.org/docs/usb/dojo-kali-linux-usb-persistence-encryption/) i see two error/warning; update-initramfs.orig.initramfs-tools output: cryptsetup: ERROR: Couldn't resolve device overlay cryptsetup: WARNING: Couldn't determine root device

dpkg-reconfigure cryptsetup-nuke-password output : update-initramfs is disabled (live system is running on read-only media)

Edit: yes english my second language

I assume you have seen this?

either way, that works on both Physical Machines and VM's with Physical GPU's attached

also, if you wanted to do this in the cloud on amazon's AWS, there is already a version of kali configured for GPU cracking you can use

For VPN the only one I trust is ProtonVPN it's free and doesn't log, configures openvpn to use safer advanced options by default. Also decent speed. Now for privacy one should consider Anonym8 does one click TOR routing, mac spoofing, cache and swap erasing, polipo, privoxy and i2p routing, hostname change, anonymizing relay monitor, and optional GUI
