How to Configure and Completely Understand Kali Linux

(This post will be always in up-to-date)

Be sure to read this first: Install Kali linux on usb pen drive

In this tutorial we will *sighs* you know..

First Stage! Terminal Commands

Now Open your terminal

Type

:~# help  "Getting help from our system"

Does you get it? i think you just got a headache for now!

Don't worry Its just a shell commands that use for programming but we're not here to learn programming

By the way i did that cause this article will be linked to another one that will be about programming if you interested will improve your kali skills

But hey wait you can't be a hacker without learn programming, its not something that you think to do it later when you have to!

Now real tutorial start now *tutorial starts at this line don't thank me*

If you're new to the console method then you should know that

The letters and numbers you enter is bytes and those bytes have codes that used in programming and expressions means that "K" is totally different from "k" and "A" is totally different from "a" cause all have different unique code names they called each other with exactly the same as numbers " 0, 1, 2, 3 etc..." and our systems translates it from codes to output of numbers and letters

anyway what you should learn from that?

Be careful each letter and number you typing in your command

cause simply
if(command = true)
{success}
else
{failed}

Which means simple little mistake or upper/lower case in your command is a failed not near or far is just a failed!

Clear buffer

:~# clear "clears the buffer of the console with kind of excepting the last command buffer"

 which will be good if you want to view some info from the last buffer

:~# tput reset "Clears all current console buffer"

 which will be good if you want to clear all your penetration testing buffer

:~# reset "Resets the console buffer to the start point"

 same as first open but you can resume background processes you was doing

1.1

Pause/Stop/Resume

Press Ctrl + Z "Suspend the process in the background"

 temporally Suspend the last process you made in your terminal in the background until you close it

:~# fg "Resume the last suspended process in the exactly terminal"

 Resume the last suspended operation in the terminal that means if you closed the terminal

 you lost your suspended operation

Press Ctrl + C "Ends the process of your terminal operation"

 End the process of your current console operation that can't be resume again

 will benefit when you installing or extracting packages or files or

:~# cd <directory name> "Jump in the selected directory/file in the terminal"

 To moving around the system and will be used frequently

:~# cd .. "Moves you up or back one directory"

 If you created a folder named test in your Desktop and opened the terminal there in that test directory  you can simply go back to the Desktop by this command

:~# cd "Returns you to the start point" (to get help type :~# cd --help)

 which means you can't resume or continue the last operation you was on

1.3

Extract Files

:~# unrar e <rar file> "Extract .rar files in the current directory"

 Extract Here the archive you selected by name following with .rar
