Home Each user has their own /home directory, and this is generally
where files you create will be saved by default.
Kali Kali Linux is a distribution of Linux specifically designed for
penetration testing. It has hundreds of tools preinstalled, saving you
the hours it would take to download and install them yourself. I will be
using the latest version of Kali at the time of this writing: Kali 2018.2,
first released in April 2018.
root Like nearly every operating system, Linux has an administrator
or superuser account, designed for use by a trusted person who can do
nearly anything on the system. This would include such things as recon-
figuring the system, adding users, and changing passwords. In Linux,
that account is called root. As a hacker or pentester, you will often use
the root account to give yourself control over the system. In fact, many
hacker tools require that you use the root account.
Script This is a series of commands run in an interpretive environ-
ment that converts each line to source code. Many hacking tools are
simply scripts. Scripts can be run with the bash interpreter or any of
the other scripting language interpreters, such as Python, Perl, or Ruby.
Python is currently the most popular interpreter among hackers.
Shell This is an environment and interpreter for running commands
in Linux. The most widely used shell is bash, which stands for Bourne-
again shell, but other popular shells include the C shell and Z shell. I
will be using the bash shell exclusively in this book.
Terminal This is a command line interface (CLI).
With those basics behind us, we will attempt to methodically develop
the essential Linux skills you’ll need to become a hacker or penetration tes-
ter. In this first chapter, I’ll walk you through getting started with Kali Linux.
