this is my first post with this new computer. well new to ME anyways. Those that follow this sort of tripe will easily recall crackhead(s) stole my precious laptop. I bought a tablet thingy, which i LIKE... and a couple small phones which i use for a "on the go tiny internet tablet"...
but, really, one DOES need a real computer for certain tasks. (my audio stuff i used to have? its all pc only stuff, as an example...)
===============================================================================================================================================
my buddy had mentioned several times he had an old laptop he had no use for, and i could use it as an internet computer.
now, if anyone bothered to read my other post, they know i started playing around with putting apps on my cell phones, that allow me to "have some fun" with the tech side of the internet... we will call these "mobile networking utilities" and leave it at that, LMAO...
reading up on "cool internet apps" and such tools as black hat hackers and white hat IT security professionals use??? some names of famous apps kept coming up... it was difficult though to GET some of them, however... found out why!!!
MOST of the coolest "hat software" are a part of a version of LINUX that is called "Kali Linux"... and i figured out that any black hat or white hat hacker type worth his SALT has KALI LINUX running, lol... it was a cinch i wanted to get it...
the same buddy has used LINUX in the past, so, when i found KALI LINUX and showed HIM that "all the good stuff" was part of KALI ?? I explaineed i wanted it... i pointed out the software was free to download, maybe he could get it to run on his unloved laptop to get some use out of it, and we could take turns "playing" with our new power tools...
he comes back for coffee the NEXT night, and said he wanted to show me the laptop?? he fires it up without saying a WORD, and KALI LINUX boots up for his demonstration!!!! (i am typing on it now, lol)
==============================================================================================
its a "normal" windows XP laptop, fairly ho hum specs by todays standards... but... i plop in the KALI LINUX cd?? it boots and runs from the CD to KALI LINUX. So far, most of the software SEEMS to work,
windows is on the small hard drive, and KALI LINUX runs completely off of the CD, heh heh heh...
a virus could crash windows and take the entire hard drive with it? i can still boot to LINUX and make a post, ha ha.
=============================================================================================
i am slowly teaching myself how to penetrate networks, lol, its slow going.... i have to get used to LINUX and learn all the software too.
==========================================================================================
so, for once in my life? i have the top of the line "pro tool" for what i am trying to do, lol... if donald trump wanted to learn to do internet security? he would likely end up with the same distribution of KALI linux, heh heh... its the "kelby target rifle" in its class...
kind of a rush that no virus or stupidity can ruin my ability to get on the web and make a post... its mission critical now, ha ha.
and, i might have to point some of the software at our own website, and see what it says about it... some of the "tools" look for exploits and weaknesses in online web pages...
=====================================================================
i wont lie to you though, i have almost NO IDEA what i am doing (yet)... but i am having fun... BUT, i can already give you a lecture about router setup, lol, i can get on WAY too many routers and get to prancing and up to mischief if i were so inclined, which i am not inclined by the way, lol
(some guy must have checked his LOGS though, a network i use frequently just for free wi-fi ? enabled a security logon page, LMfAO.... now the game is going to be to learn hos to get on again so i learn how this stuff works)
