If we compare the capabilities of Windows and Linux text editors and text processing tools, then we must say that there are huge numbers of features in both operating systems. You need to work with text files regularly and you need to know how the text processing tools usually work. In this blog, we will mainly focus on the text editors of Linux and Windows. In Windows, the working process in a text editor is quite easy compared to Linux. However, you need the practice to be familiar with different text editors in Linux. Vi and Vim editors are some…

IntroductionIn the previous blog, we compared two of the most popular operating systems, Linux and Windows which are widely used operating systems globally. In this blog, we will look at how Windows and Linux handle text processing and file management so that we can use the relevant tools correctly during our daily jobs. Specifically, when it comes to this use case, Windows and Linux have commands and utilities in common, but Windows’ commands are more verbose than Linux’s.Text Processing ToolsLinuxIn this part, we will be discussing a few important commands that we often use for displaying, searching, and doing necessary…

In the modern era of technology, a tech person or a general person often faces some confusion in learning the right operating system. Most of them start their journey using Windows because of its user-friendliness. As a system administrator, I also started my journey with Windows. However, Linux is known as a powerful and resourceful platform for network and security engineers.In this blog, we will be discussing the comparison between the core aspects of these two operating systems. We’ll compare the histories, architectures, user types, file systems, and different types of necessary and key commands.HistoryLinux1969: The precursor of Linux was…

Overview of Kali LinuxThe first operating system we’re going to install in our lab is Kali Linux. Throughout the blog series, we’ll use various hacking tools. You can install these tools manually, or you can save time and effort by using an operating system designed for hacking. Kali Linux is a Linux distribution based on Debian, specifically designed for hacking and penetration testing. It comes pre-installed and pre-configured with numerous hacking tools, saving you the hassle of installing and configuring them yourself.Installation OptionsYou can install Kali Linux as a main machine or as a virtual machine. For this blog, we’ll…

This blog is going to be highly practical. Therefore, you will need a lab, a place where you can practice and experiment with the things that you’re going to learn in this blog series. Not only that, but having a lab is essential for hackers or pen testers because, let’s say, you discovered a new attack or you want to experiment with a new attack, or you learn something new online and want to test it. Then the perfect place for you to test this and practice hacking is a hacking or a testing lab.Creating Your LabNow, to create a…

Cybersecurity has become a mandatory element for all types of organizations, especially continuous monitoring of all digital devices that have a chance to become a victim of any kind of cyberattack. To decrease the chance of cyber attacks this is necessary for the stakeholders to take some steps by investing in some monitoring systems. The most practical approach that may be used is monitoring vulnerabilities at all times. In this blog, we will be discussing some key benefits of continuous vulnerability monitoring and the process of implementation.Changing Threats LandscapesCyber threats are becoming pervasive and complex. Hackers are always designing novel…

IntroductionPenetration testing is one of the primary defenses in the cybersecurity realm, given breaches can have devastating results. Yet, true effectiveness lies not just in uncovering security holes, but also in providing a comprehensive report on how vulnerabilities were discovered during the test and steps taken afterward to fix them. In this blog, we will analyze the challenges of optimum penetration testing report writing and making it possible to identify specific strengths a certain company can boast of.Understanding Penetration TestingPrior to addressing the issues of reporting and remediation, it is important to understand the basics of penetration testing. Basically, penetration…

Misunderstandings and ObstaclesIn this blog post, we are going to discuss security as regards making safe websites, web apps, or mobile apps among other things because this type of attack results in huge negative effects such as loss of trust by customers, financial losses, exposure of user information, etc.Now, if you do a quick Google search on how to secure your website or application, you’re going to get a lot of garbage. I was disappointed at the click-bait articles that did not explain or provide any useful information. Most people are advised to use backups and strong passwords as well…

IntroductionCybersecurity not only concerns the defense against unauthorized access or attacks on a computer system but also acknowledges that the battle doesn’t stop after any attacker breaches its integrity. Instead, this marks the commencement of a post-exploitation procedure. In other words, once a system is successfully penetrated, the next phase that follows is post-exploitation. This phase involves infiltrators maneuvering through compromised networks, siphoning off confidential information, and preserving continuous accessibility. To effectively mitigate risks and ensure the adequacy of their system’s security, defenders must understand how post-exploitation strategies pertain to different actions required within this phase.Post-Exploitation: The Silent ThreatDefinition and…

Webcams are becoming increasingly abundant in a world where there is greater connectivity, allowing more online meetings, double-entry classes, and interactions on social media. Though these devices seem not that harmful, but these devices can be very dangerous security concern. In this article, we will discuss something related to the security risks that may occur if we use webcams unsafely, so we will also learn how we can prevent these risks.The Risks of Webcam VulnerabilitiesWebcams have transformed from simple communication peripherals to gadgets that can be exploited by cybercriminals, hence the risk. The risks of webcam vulnerabilities definitely cut through…
