All right.
We've got Kelly Linux installed were successfully logged in and now we're going to learn some Linux
before we get started with learning Linux.
Let's take a brief minute or two to actually just look at clinics and what it has to offer and also
see why it is the go to distribution when it comes to pen testing.
So here we have our screen and you could see from the sidebar here that there are some favorites.
Now you can use Linux like a gooey so graphical user interface basically meaning that we can just point
and click on something like this folder here we'll bring it files.
Now these files look similar if you're a Linux user or a Mac user.
This is just a goofy way of accessing files.
Right.
So we can go into documents or downloads or however we want to do it.
We've got access to our folder in our files right here on the left side.
We've also got this Firefox now Firefox used to be ISOs all so you can see like a little bit of a weasel
in here.
But now it is known as Firefox and this is our web browser and we also have this thing called the terminal.
We're gonna be very intimate with the terminal here starting in the next video.
So the terminal is a way to utilize accessing everything that we have here including these folders and
these files without ever using a graphical interface to do so.
So we'll learn a lot about the terminal and why it's so powerful and how to utilize it in our day to
day pen testing.
And we have some other tools here as well we've got a little text editor or a notepad we've got Metis
flight which is a framework we're going to become very familiar with with pen testing throughout this
course.
We've got brb sleep which I promise we'll use as well.
That's more geared towards web application penetration testing.
We've got Xen map which is also the graphical version of a tool called n map that's for network scanning
we'll get into that as well.
And we've got this wonderful tool here called cherry tree.
Now we have covered keep no and we've covered green shot.
This is a another option.
I told you guys that we're going to be looking at Cherry Tree and we install Linux here it is.
So you can just.
Or you could set up nodes here would you say cast and now you can take your nodes or take some notes
and then you can add additional nodes on top of that test too.
And now you have a baby node here or a child node or whatever you want to call it.
So this is very nice for keeping a good notebook especially if you want the inside of your virtual machine.
The only advice against this that I have is that keeping your notebook inside your virtual machine if
your virtual machine crashes or you don't have a backup of it you lose all of your notes.
So me preferably I like to keep my notes outside of my VM.
However I do know a lot of people that keep their notes inside their VM.
Here's a really really easy way to do it with cherry tree is very point and click and you can actually
just import screenshots pretty easily as well into here.
So another option instead of keep note is cherry tree.
And it works really really well.
So again very important to keep notes and I do like that offensive security has put the cherry tree
on the favorites panel for this version of Cal Linux.
So I'm going to close this out.
Am I going to say that.
Couple of things to point out so we can hit this little bar here to show all of our applications and
you could see all the applications that we have installed could scroll through and there's quite a bit
but a better way to actually look at this is to go ahead and just hit escape.
And if we go up to applications you at the top we could see that everything is put together in phases.
So we're going to talk about the phases of ethical hacking and for example step one is information gathering.
So they've got some tools here for information gathering related to related to it.
Right.
So all these nice tools.
But let's say that we wanted to do we want to do reporting.
Well they have got some reporting tools down here.
They've got social engineering tools forensics reverse engineering wireless attacks.
So basically they have all kinds of built in tools here for penetration testing and that is what makes
this a penetration testing distribution.
That's what makes this so awesome.
So all these favorites here comes power load ahead with so many different tools so catalytic source
them.
The other off option out there is called Parrot.
You might hear a lot of people talk about parrot parrot is up and coming.
I've used it a bit.
I do not like it.
I've had some performance issues with it.
So my preference is to go to is Kelly Linux but both offer a lot of the same features.
So from here what we're gonna go ahead and do is we're going to now open up a terminal and we're going
to maximize it and we are just going to take some time and actually get familiar with this command line.
So I will catch you in the next video when we started to actually learn how to navigate the file system
and utilize Linux to our advantage.
