Kali Linux Cyber Security Suite

A summer of learning security tools on Kali Linux, tried out on my own test devices.

LOG · WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT DOES

Kali Linux is a Linux distribution built for security testing and research, packed with tools for penetration testing and digital forensics. This was a summer of learning how those tools, and the attacks they test for, actually work.

WHY

Curiosity. I always thought it was cool and wanted to try and learn more.

WHAT I WORKED ON

On my own test devices, over many trials, I learned how to set up and activate log-in portals identical to real ones, design USB sticks that copy all the media from any device, and get around locked Windows images to pull data, including cached browser passwords, off a locked system. The USB was just a normal USB stick, flashed with malware that starts copying any file format.
