Getting started with Kali Linux

Linux is a one of the much admired and loved OSs by IT Pros, ethical hackers and computer enthusiasts. After mastering Windows and macOS, it's time to switch over to Linux. Many must have used it. It has numerous distros (flavours), available free all of them beeing open source and free with GNU Public license.
Linux is a way ahead when it comes to hacking. It goes to the side of being geek-friendly rather than average user-friendly.
And if you're one of those techies, I bet, Kali Linux is the best for you.
You can get it from its official site. After getting the .iso image, you can just run it inside your virtual machine, boot live from the USB or CD/DVD, or just install it on your hard disk. And you can also use the 'live persistence' so that all changes will be saved right into your USB drive which you can carry everywhere you go with all your apps and settings preserved.
The OS itself doesn't demand that much high specs and it can run on old hardware too.
After booting, you'll find lots of built-in tools for different information secuirty tasks like Penetration Testing, Security research, Computer Forensics and Reverse Engineering.
Talking of the user base, you'll find a gigantic community on the Internet to help you out.
So go, get started with the world of Kali.

Best Gaming Laptops You Can Buy Right Now

Gaming Laptops are no joke. They pack some serious performance under the hood that even some mid-range desktops cannot match. They’re often considered as huge, heavy and fat machines with red and blue paint all over their chassis, but that’s not the case at present. Over the past few years, manufacturers have introduced laptops packing more and more power in a thinner and lighter chassis. If you take a look at a gaming laptop from ten years ago and compare to anything from the present, I can guarantee that your jaw will drop and you’ll start wondering how technology has improved over the decade. Here are the top 10 performance grade laptops to make your selection from. 1.

How to verify your downloaded files using MD5 Checksum on Windows?

MD5 stands for Message Digest version 5 . The MD5 algorithm takes a file (the “message”) of any size, and reduces it down to a code that looks like this: “ac30ce5b07b0018d65203fbc680968f5″ (the “digest”). The brilliant thing about the MD5 algorithm is that if the message changes by so much as a single byte, it will produce a completely different digest. An MD5 sum is a string of letters and numbers that acts like a fingerprint for a file. If two files have the same MD5 sum, the files are exactly alike - which is why MD5 "fingerprints" can verify whether or not your downloaded file got corrupted in transit, hence it is used to verify the integrity of files, as virtually any change to a file will cause its MD5 hash to change. MD5 digests have been widely used in the software world to provide some assurance that a transferred file has arrived intact. For example, file servers often provide a pre-computed MD5 (known as md5sum) checksum for the files, so that a user can compare th...

Top macOS Mojave Features

At WWDC today (June 4), Apple's Senior Vice President Craig Federighi revealed a lot of new Mac features, and a new name. Yes, macOS 11.14 Mojave is coming to users this fall. Highlights of this new, free update include a universal dark mode, a dynamic desktop, a Finder that photographers will love and a version of Safari with even more privacy-focused tools than before. Apple also improved screenshots in ways that iPhone and iPad users will find familiar. Oh, and Apple announced the baby steps its taking to bring iOS apps to the Mac, including four of its own titles -- Apple News, Stocks, Voice Memos and Home. Dark Mode This feature allows you to take all of the user interfaces in your Mac's apps, and turn them from bright to dark hues. Federighi said apps really pop against a white background, and while I'm inclined to believe him, I'm mostly happy to have a native feature that means my eyes will be hit with less bright light. Dynamic Desktop For th...
