Fast forward to that scene in a World War II movie where a grizzled, cigar-chomping sergeant removes the dusty tarp covering the Big Guns. That's approximately what it feels like to pick up Kali and start playing around with it.
Learn how to prevent Linux users from executing certain commands and confining them to their home directory by employing rbash.
Linux kernel security can be increased at runtime using sysctl, allowing to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and exploits.
This article describes how to install and configure dnscrypt-proxy to use DNSCrypt and DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) with DNSSEC. Learn how to use dnscrypt-proxy to secure DNS queries in Linux:
Let's Encrypt is a free, automated, and open certificate authority developed by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG) that provides free SSL certificates. Learn how to install a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate on CentOS 8 running Nginx as a web server and how to configure Nginx to use the SSL certificate and enable HTTP/2 in an informative tutorial:
Secure Shell (SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol used for an encrypted connection between a client and a server. The ssh client creates a secure connection to the SSH server on a remote machine. The encrypted connection can be used to execute commands on the server, X11 tunneling, port forwarding, and more. Learn more about SSH command and its role in securely managing a remote server:
How do I test and validate DNSSEC using thedig commandline under Linux, macOS, *BSD, and Unix-like systems? Learn how to test and validateDNSSEC using dig command line:
Learn how to secure an inherited Linux system you didn’t build but are suddenly responsible for:
For any red teamer, SSH bastions (hosts that can control access between environments) can be difficult to compromise due to the use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) technologies. In a typical scenario, you may end up on a user’s host that has access to the bastion thanks to phishing or exploiting a vulnerability with the compromised user’s permissions. Learn more about SSH multiplexing and its role in bypassing authentication on SSH bastion hosts:
Learn how to use some of the lesser-known features of gdb to inspect and fix your code:
Are you a DevOps professional? If so, are you aware that breaking down silos and becoming a champion for security will help you, your career, and your organization? Learn more:
How much do you know about Chmod? Chmod, which sets read, write, and execute permissions, is one of the most important Linux security commands.
Wondering how to speed up a debugger? Here are some tips to consider while building one for Python:
In my previous article, I explained how to make Python modular by using functions, creating modules, or both. Functions are invaluable to avoid repeating code you intend to use several times, and modules ensure that you can use your code across different projects. But there's another component to modularity: the class.
If you're using Python for any amount of development, you have probably issued a command in a terminal, even if only to launch a Python script or install a Python module with pip.
Nowadays, Wi-Fi is a “need” for almost everyone. Whether you are visiting a mall or dining in a restaurant, waiting at the airport or spending time at the library, you can easily access the internet through public Wi-Fi networks from any location free of cost. But are these networks secure? Is it safe to carry out your daily tasks while on public Wi-Fi?
Python is one of the most popular programming languages in use today—and for good reasons: it's open source, it has a wide range of uses (such as web programming, business applications, games, scientific programming, and much more), and it has a vibrant and dedicated community supporting it. This community is the reason we have such a large, diverse range of software packages available in the Python Package Index (PyPI) to extend and improve Python and solve the inevitable glitches that crop up.
People tend to play fast and loose with security terminology. However, it's important to get your malware classifications straight because knowing how various types of malware spread is vital to containing and removing them.
More and more businesses are deploying applications, operations, and infrastructure to cloud environments – but many don't take the necessary steps to properly operate and secure it.
Building and deploying lightweight apps is becoming an easier and more reliable process with the emergence of unikernels. While limited in functionality, unikernals offer many advantages in terms of speed and security.
