very summarised and complete view of kali linux and handy for presentations outside.

1. Kali Linux

2. KALI LINUX is a Debian-derived Linux distribution designed for digital forensics and
penetration testing.
It is maintained and funded by Offensive Security Ltd. It was developed by MatiAharoni
and Devon Kearns of Offensive Security
 It is the rewrite of BackTrack, their previous forensics Linux distribution.
KALI LINUX:PENETRATION TESTING
OPERATING SYSTEM

3. What is Penetration Testing?
“The process of evaluating systems ,
applications , and protocols with the intent of
identifying vulnerabilities usually from the
perspective of an unprivileged or anonymous
user to determine potential real world
impacts…”
Or in other words
… trying to break into stuff before the bad guys
do…

4. Features of KALI LINUX
• Has more than 600 penetration testing tools.
• Multilingual Support
• Completely Customizable.
• Free and Always will be.
• Vast Wireless device support and Compatible
with USB.
• ARM support-Kali Linux has ARM repositories
integrated with mainline distribution.

5. Flexibility of KALI LINUX
• Kali Linux can run natively when installed on
a computer’s hard disk or,
• Can be booted from a live CD or a live USB or,
• It can run within a virtual machine.
• Available for ARM devices like Samsung
Chromebook, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1,
Raspberry Pi and a lot more.
• KALI LINUX can also be installed within a root
environment on an android device.

6. Difference between Kali Linux and
Ubuntu
Ubuntu
• Ubuntu is a general
desktop and server
distribution.
• Designed to satisfy general
Desktop and Server
requirements and also
targeted in some Smart
TV’s.
• Developed by Canonical
Ltd. and released back in
2004.
Kali Linux
• Kali Linux is a specialized
distribution.
• Primarily designed for
purposes like Penetration
Testing and Digital
Forensics.
• Developed by Offensive
Security Ltd. and released
on 13th March 2013.

7. DIFFERENT SOFTWARES FOR
PENTESTING
Kali Linux is preinstalled with over 600 penetration-testing
programs.
For eg-
nmap (a port scanner),
 Wireshark (a packet analyzer),
 John the Ripper (a password cracker),
 Aircrack-ng (a software suite for penetration-testing wireless
LANs)
Kali Linux can run natively when installed on a computer's hard
disk, can be booted from a live CD or live USB, or it can run within
a virtual machine.

8. USE OF KALI LINUX FOR HACKFLY
WIRELESS HACKING WITH KALI LINUX
Aircrack-ng
Aircrack-ng is the de facto penetration tool suite – essential for any wireless penetration tests or
assessments.
COMMANDS USED:
Airmon-ng-:the tool used to put wireless cards into monitor mode
Airodump-ng :is used for packet capturing of raw 802.11 frames
Aireplay-ng: is used to inject frames.
Airtun-ng :is a virtual tunnel interface creator
Airbase-ng: is multi-purpose tool aimed at attacking clients as opposed to the Access Point (AP)
itself.
Aircrack-ng:recover keys once enough data packets have been captured

9. What is the need and purpose of
packet injection within WiFi attacks
Wireless networks work in predefined modes and come with strict functional
restrictions.
Wireless attacks require a higher control over the lower layers of
communication in order to send and receive any kind of data.
 In the default mode (Station Infrastructure Mode),, you can't even directly
talk to a different client in default mode.
For more control, you need Monitor mode to listen to any communication in
the air.
This is where packet injection comes in.
Packet injection means sending data while in Monitor mode because it's a
passive-only mode .

10. Sending and receiving management and control
frames is necessary for impersonating base stations
and clients, and for listening to frames that are
meant for specific adapters.
 The dreadful deauthentication frame, apart from
the DoS(denial of service attack) can also be
injected, it's the first stage in a multi-stage attack.
