    I think a point worth taking into consideration is dual-booting your OSs. If you really want to have them both on bare metal. In that case it would come down to getting more storage space rather than RAM in order to facilitate both systems, as only one would be booted up at a time. Great video, thanks very much for the insight!

    I started with kali and loved it but I found that due to the WiFi restrictions where I live iit makes kali unusable. However it considers Parrot a normal OS so started using Parrot and loved it. After learning how to create my own Linux OS I used Debian as a base as Kali and Parrot use Debian to and created my own OS called Blue Wolf.

    • @fantasypvp
      @fantasypvp Рік тому +1

      I've not personally used Kali but your WiFi restrictions shouldnt be able to filter your traffic based on precisely what Linux distribution you're using unless there's something in your internet config that tells the network you run Kali

    • @bluewinterwolf
      @bluewinterwolf Рік тому +1

      @fantasypvp I was living in a hostel at the time so I'm guessing it was either their firewall or a paid service to filter out software and operating systems as it even said it was blocked due to hacking ability. Now I have my own place and WiFi I don't have that issue but thought it was interesting that kali was banned but Parrot, Mint, Debian, Ubuntu and others were fine when you could download the same tools you get on Kali on other distros anyway.

    Being a pentester with about 8 years of experience, It is completely true "You are a useless penetration tester if you cannot write a report". I've been mentoring alot of juniors who are top class CTF hackers but are absolutely pathetic at writing reports. I can't tell you the countless times I've saved their asses from being fired from the higher ups.

  • @satanicereal8172

    Good session, but I have to disagree with the macbook recommendation. When going to assignments it's not great to carry multiple laptops in my case, and also in case of [ as in video ] using VMs, not bare metal. You get a windows laptop for the price of mbp and you get a dedicated gpu in most cases, expandability, sd card slots, ethernet port, etc etc That means you can play games. You can gpucrack. You can have the same laptop for a longer time. Depending on assignment Dell is more likely to be inconspicuous in corporate environment for example. With ThinkPads you get a keyboard that is amazing for writing and tank durability. I see absolutely no advantage in having a mac, except blending in at starbucks/costa.

    -Great content teachers David and Neal ... !!!
    -I always say that and a crowd of Kali fan boys come to fight with me when I speak.
    -Kali is a tool (distro) compiled with the packages they test in their certification exam, it is not made to be an OS with all the features of an OS that would come in a standard distro, in short it is an ideal tool for run on VM (VMs are perfect toll I use a lot of then).
    -The Parrot seems to have more resources but has the same problem as Kali, it is a distro that Hackers know so they also know their vulnerabilities.
    -I am a network engineer and I worked with the military in my government for a long time and the security experts I met more than a decade ago used super unknown distro with a lot of things that they compiled altered kernel and so on will, almost always some variation of Arch.
    -Therefore when I go to learn Pentest I want to use BlackArch which just by looking at the amount of packages and tools that comes is immense the image is 2 or 3 times larger than Kali and Parrot, but this is my personal taste and even so i'm going to run it on VM so I run several tool VMs on both OS i run on the 2 separate hard drives I have on this note one has Windows and the other Linux (this hardware is old so VM for real use is very slow), I use for everything and is a standard Linux distro for Desktop and I use it as Desktop, Mini Server, but it is my personal taste, each one uses what they want.
    -Thanks for the knowledge ... !!!

    Hello David. Thank you so much for covering the ethical hacking education portion. It took me almost one year just to figure it out what do I need to learn, read and where should I start from. I'm still figuring out. But your videos helps a lot for people like who just started.
    I'm not sure if you've already covered if we need to learn programming for hacking. If so then which languages. If you can discuss this issue in future videos. That would be much appreciated.
    And definitely loving your discussion together. Please keep it going. You guys are putting out very important informations.

    5:47 Been a Linux desktop user since 2013. Bare metal OS is fine and dandy. Much like Neal said having a Windows host with 3 VMs to suit your needs is ideal for him; flip the scenario and have a linux based OS as the host with windows and others as a guest. As a software engineer I find linux a better development environment. No need to hate on us users on metal and state that "we're doing it to just look cool". Not my fault my workflow is better achieved and more of my time is spent in linux. Virtualization is the great mediator ...besides some networking issues. lol

      @Elixir yeah... and Kali falls under that umbrella and could be fine as a daily given someone's workflow. My main point in the original comment was that some dev workflows don't necessitate proprietary/specific software as he mentions. For myself, Kali is perfectly fine as a dev and hobbyist. I rarely touch anything else and if so, I spin it up. That's all I was getting at lol

    I love these videos man. Thank you for making them. As an amateur still learning a lot of stuff, these distros really help me make sure my own network and devices are secure which is such a huge factor for me and should be for everyone. I don't take any pleasure in the idea of using these against other people. Everyone's been a victim of a hack at least once. And the feeling is a deep feeling of violation and paranoia. I don't wish that on anyone. That's what led me to your awesome channel. Thanks again!

    For those interested, I ran both Kali and ParrotOS on a 2007 Dell Inspiron 1525 running a core 2 Duo, I did upgrade to 8 GBs of Ram, both OS's were running off a 32GB Samsung thumb drive. If you are in a bind for money, an older laptop will work to run these OS's until a new one can be acquired.

    The advantage of Parrot/Kali for learners is that they can discover and learn about all the existing programs on the distro and discover tools they never knew existed without extensive googling .
    You can hack just fine with most other distros but only when you are already experienced enough to know what tools and programmes you want to install in the first place.

It is a laptop with integrated and dedicated GPU's just in case I need to run some password cracking etc... while on the go. So, if you are going with bare metal installation, if you can - go with integrated + dedicated GPUs model (and dont buy macbook for bare metal installation). If you are using Virtual Machine, no use of GPU anyway.

Keep an eye out for the “enterprise” brands (HP, Dell, Lenovo), as companies dump them onto the market when they replace them as part of their asset refreshes. Many second hand ones become available every year and they typically have high end features such as ram and SSDs.

    Hey what's your take on live booting from a usb with persistence as opposed too a VM

    • @erixmacleod6097
      @erixmacleod6097 3 роки тому

      Usb is great for computers that u don't want to be traced or know u used. Vm is good for using ur own computer. Usb has pros and cons just ad vm has pros and cons. I prefer a usb for the reason I can use the hardware to the fullest where vm Relies on the is to give you power its shared memory and shared power. But I digress I use vm on computers I know that people know im on such as my own to download stuff or surf the dark web. But I also use tails via usb. Old computers or shotty computers with a slow cpu like an i3 won't support a vm as well and run fast as maximizing and utilizing the hardware you are using. if your pentest speed counts especially if a company hired you to do vulnerability testing then I would use a usb that can jump on any computer quick without downloading and installing vm with disc image and configuration. And I would also bring my dummy computer and my good one. The dummy has dual boot kali and windows and my own is parrot with vm kali tails and windows. 32gb ram 8 core cpu to support the speed.

    I would even go further with installing kali on bare metal for your daily mails and reports: it seems like an unnecessary risk for being reverse hacked and unnecessarily exposing your information. By using compartments you avoid seeping data from one VM to another or to your main system.
