Hello everybody and welcome to this

tutorial.

2

Today we'll be talking the prerequisites that you require

3

if you if you want to follow this course through.

4

One of the first things that you need to be familiarized with

5

is your working environment.

6

So for myself, I have chosen to use two Linux distros.

7

One will be Fedora 20, which is my

8

which is the operating system that I'm using.

9

Anyway

10

and also I will install a virtual machine.

11

That virtual machine will be Kali Linux.

12

Basically, it is a Linux distro

13

which contains a great deal of pen testing tools.

14

So it's very useful in that sense.

15

Don't worry about it

16

I will explain this process in great detail

17

How you can set the virtual machine up

18

how you can install it

19

and so on and so forth.

20

However, should you be using Windows

21

that is definitely not advisable for this kind of activity.

22

Primarily because you will

23

I mean, since I'm doing this in an environment that I own

24

it doesn't really matter to me if I'm anonymous or not

25

but in the real world

26

all the pen testing that is done in the real world

27

You're always trying to anonymize yourselves.

28

You're trying to be as invisible as possible

29

as much as possible.

30

You do not want them to figure out where the attack is coming from

31

or anything of a kind.

32

You want wipe your trail or something a

kind

33

and Windows is really not good for those

sort of things.

34

So there your anonymity level will be very

low

35

and most of tools that we are going to be using

36

They are native to the Linux environment.

37

They were made for Linux

38

So some of them might not work under Windows.

39

I have not tested them all out.

40

but most of them will

41

So you can still use Windows if you like

42

because you're not hiding from any anyone

43

but since I'm recreating the real life scenario here

44

I do need to actually use proxies, VPNs

45

and so on and so forth

46

just to show you how it's done

47

and how you can do it.

48

Also, for all the Mac users out there

49

if you're using Mac OS X

50

doesn't really matter which version.

51

Most of this stuff should work, like no problems.

52

The procedures are fairly simpler.

53

The command line tools are the same

54

how you install them differs

55

but pretty much will be able to run the same commands as me.

56

So there shouldn't be any problems there.

57

Your anonymity level with Mac OS X

58

should be both really good

59

but still, on Linux you have the greatest anonymity

60

and you are rather safe in that sense.

61

Other than that, you will also require a working internet connection

62

and even those all of these attacks that we are going to do today

63

well most of them

64

they work much MUCH better if you have an extremely fast connection

65

but some of these attacks are actually

conducted from public wi-fi

66

in real life anyway.

67

We'll just pretend

68

I will set up a wireless access point in my house and load it

69

so that it's similar to the public wi-fi, which is very slow.

70

Some of these attacks, as I said

71

they go over public wi-fi

72

and as we all know and as we've all painfully learned

73

public wi-fis are not the fastest internet connections out there.

74

So primarily because you have a lot of people that are connected to them

75

and there's a lot of data going through.

76

They're not the safest networks out there either

77

but if you want to absolutely anonymize yourself

78

and that is what some people do.

79

They actually go out and hook up to a public wi-fi

80

or they go to a bar, or something of the like

81

and conduct their attacks from there.

82

Now before they do that

83

they need to figure out whether the bandwidth of that wi-fi

84

can sustain their attacks.

85

So they need to minimize.

86

they need to downsize it

87

and that is how they become absolutely anonymous.

88

Anyway, the third thing that you will absolutely need

89

so these three things

90

these are the basic requirements.

91

Everything else we will pick up on the way.

92

I will show you how to do it, no problems there

93

but these three things, I can't really show you how to

94

I mean I can, but it's a bit pointless

95

How to go through your ISP and hook it up to the internet

96

and hook your telephone through the internet

97

or something of a kind

98

But in any case, the third prerequisite is a

working wireless card

99

and when I say "working wireless card"

100

most of the devices have them.

101

Pretty much all laptops from 2005

102

or from 2008

103

were standardized with wireless cards.

104

If you're using desktop machine that doesn't a wireless card

105

you can

106

you should

107

but however, if you want

108

you won't be able to follow through a portion of this tutorial then.

109

You should go out and buy a USB wireless card

110

or something of a kind.

111

They're pretty cheap

112

I don't know. 10 or 15 bucks

113

So they're not that expensive and you can

get them much anywhere.

114

Anyway, as I was saying

115

what I mean by a functional wireless network card

116

is that it is recognized by your operating system.

117

So if you are using a Linux distro like I am

118

you need to make sure

119

this Linux distro

120

that the kernel of this Linux distro

121

actually has the necessary drivers

122

for the wireless card that you are using at the moment.

123

You're probably using Atheros or Broadcom.

124

Atheros should be fine.

125

Pretty much an external support

126

A large amount of Atheros devices, if not all of them

127

in terms of network cards, that should be fine.

128

There were some problems with Broadcom

129

but as far as I am informed

130

that has been solved

131

so no big deal there.

132

If you are uncertain how to check

133

whether your wireless card functions under Linux distro

134

just try connecting to a wi-fi.

135

If you can connect to a wi-fi access point

136

If you can connect, obviously it works

137

If you can't, it doesn't work

138

but don't just hop to a conclusion that it doesn't work.

139

Maybe it's just turned off or something like that

140

but do not worry

141

I will show this in greater detail in the follow-up tutorials

142

where we actually go over the installation process and all of that.

143

Now there are a couple more things which we need to go over

144

before we head over and start the installation.

145

I would just like to go over some basic terms

146

and some basic terminology

147

that you will need in order to be able to follow this course

148

and for you to be able to follow the future tutorials.

149

In any case, I bid you farewell

150

and I thank you for watching.
