Aircrack-ng Cheat Sheet

KaliLinux isn\u2019t designed as a tool for beginners. The core of the tool is the Linux operating system, so you need to know the Linux command set first of all. Many of the tools included in the Kali Linux package are command-line systems and require a lot of studying to use because they are not as user-friendly as applications that have a GUI interface.\n","author":"@type":"Person","name":"Stephen Cooper","description":"Stephen Cooper has taken a close interest in online security since his thesis on Internet encryption in the early 90s.

Kali Linux Cheat Sheet Kali Linux was specifically designed to support penetration testing. Find out about the utilities in the package.

The Kali Linux package is actually an operating system plus a large bundle of tools. The system was specifically designed to provide facilities for penetration testing. If you have installed Kali Linux, you can use it just like any other operating system. However, to make the most of Kali, you really need to explore all of those extra utilities that are included with the package.

Although Kali is given away for free, it is actually owned by a business. The system is a product of Offensive Security. This organization has created a number of open-source projects. All of those systems are free to use. The company makes its money by providing consultancy services. Essentially, Offensive Security is a cybersecurity business that created bundles of tools for its consultants and customers to use and made those bundles available to the world.

Many of the tools in the Kali bundle are also open-source projects. These are run by volunteers and many IT professionals and cybersecurity professionals contribute to the development of these systems for free. They get the prestige associated with these tools and that advances their careers, so there is a business logic behind getting involved in these projects and they attract very skilled and respected contributors.

The service offers eight different installation options, including versions that can be run on Android devices, on VMs, and on containers. The most popular option is to install the software on a bare-metal computer.

Aircrack-ng offers detection of wireless signals and it can extract data as it passes along a selected channel. The system allows you to export captured packets for analysis in another tool. The Aircrack-ng utility is a command-line system and it displays its output in multi-colored characters to aid data comprehension.

The Aircrack-ng features include the ability to crack passwords, but only on systems with weak security (WEP, WPA 1, WPA 2). It is also able to broadcast packets into a stream, which allows it to perform a variety of attacks. These include replay attacks, deauth injection, and man-in-the-middle attacks. It can also act as a fake AP.

Autopsy operates as a graphical front end to The Sleuth Kit, which is also included in the Kali package. The Sleuth Kit is able to search down into a hard disk and recover files that have been deleted or possibly damaged by the loss of the File Access Table.

The combination of Autopsy and The Sleuth Kit is frequently used by law enforcement agencies to extract files from the confiscated devices of suspects. It is also able to extract images from phone memory cards.

Armitage is an attack manager that uses Metasploit as a back end. While the user is able to visualize discovered computers in Armitage, further commands in the interface get interpreted down to Metasploit, which implements further exploration.

As well as identifying devices and documenting their software and services, Armitage provides a collaboration platform for teams working on a pen testing project. It also enables an attack strategy to be formulated and then implemented through Metasploit.

It is possible to force the transaction onto HTTP to prevent the use of encryption. The unprotected data passing over the network can then be scanned for important information, such as login credentials. You can read more about Burp Suite and how to use it in our Burp Suite Cheat Sheet.

BeEF stands for the Browser Exploitation Framework. It is a Web application pen testing tool that tests sites loaded into a test browser and scan for exploits. BeEF works at the command line and then triggers the opening of a browser to run the tests.

The Cisco Global Exploiter is not a Cisco product; rather, it specializes in hacking Cisco-produced routers and switches. Cisco devices are very widely used, and they have their own operating system, called IOS. The Cisco Global Exploiter is a command-line utility that attempts to break into a device, using default and commonly-used passwords for the administrator account.
