From one veteran to another, thanks for your service. This was a FANTASTIC tutorial. I work as a data engineer/solutions architect. As a hobby I am getting into cyber and ethical hacking, and this video was great. Thank you!

Thanks so much for these videos. I graduated with a BS in Network Security and then left to help take care of my sick father. He is no longer with us, but I have not gotten into my field just yet. So I have been watching these videos to help refresh my memory and what a blessing these videos have been. Also gives me a boost in confidence when I realize how much I really do know.

To all you whining ‘click bait’ merchants in the comments... This video was one video from an entire series of videos around Ethical Hacking, Heath does an absolutely amazing job with his videos, what’s more... he provides them for free for people to learn. If you’re complaining, your completely missing the point... a total noob wanting to get into ethical hacking will find this video EXTREMELY useful and it’s a MUST if you want to learn this stuff properly... you have to start somewhere, this is it! If you are more ‘advanced’ than the contents of the video, great!!.. good for you!! ....go make your own video and put it up for people to learn. Drop me a note, I’ll help you sharer around! Stop your whining. This is a spectacular contribution to the community. Great video Heath! As always!

I love that you mentioned yourself as 1st additional resources material. It's always wise choice to follow a confident person. Thanks for this video

Thank you so much for this kali course for new entrants. You're audible and have the ability to explain something complex in a simplistic manner. Awesome job.

Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video for the community, and for free. I came here wanting to learn how to hack my own home wifi to know how vulnerable my network is and ended up learning a whole career path that is really interesting. Thank you again for the hard work and dedication.

Learned alot and haven't even finished yet! Especially thankful for the VM Ware notes!

First words "What is up everyone?" sounded like a genuine question, rather than a customary greeting. I had to stop and question every choice I'd ever made in my life, before resuming the course.

Man bro thank you for giving these courses for free, your the real winner for sure. I learned way more here than in class.

Hello, I just wanted to say this course is awesome, as a complete noob with Linux it is just right. Thank you so much for taking the time to do your video tutorials 👍🏻😀

The best video on FCC- thank you, Heath!

I can't Begin to explain how much I appreciate this training video. The information you have provided was well taught and explained. I will be joining and becoming a member soon. Thanks for the service you have provided by just making these videos.

Great stuf!! I'm a Dutch teacher for networking students. I was looking for a good source where the students can look for Linux Kali in their own time and you made a very good course! Thanks for sharing

Hi incase you're using the 2020 version, the default username and password is kali. Thanks alot for the course. .... UPDATE You will notice that when you write some commands and hit Enter, you get Permission denied. That means that you have to login in as a Sudo user. Type "sudo su" , enter your your password, then type "passwd root" set a new password. You'll be logged in as a Sudo user (root@kali:/#)

At last a decent free course with no ads well done laddie !!!

I stumbled onto this video some times ago and added it to my watch later list and forgot all about it. Fast forward several months and I’m so glad I saved it. There is more Linux education in this 2 hours than anything else I’ve seen. Thank you so much for sharing openly and freely. As stated before “ you are definitely an MVP”

Excellent tutorial that I've set up on a VM and has taught me some good baseline skills. Much appreciated! Thanks

Really helpful dude and interesting. Something I have always really struggled with is command line/ programming/scripting. You explained it perfectly. I pretty much got it straight away. Thankyou

Super interested! I've always wanted something very close to this, but a little bit more advanced. In addition to this, *TargetTrappers* can trace (iOS/Smartphone/Ipad) the phone location history timeline (full) by only phone number and I want to thank them because of them I reached the top of my class and my school gets me grants to full courses for me to learn from and now even though I'm young I'm already starting toward studying for certifications.

This is seriously amazing. As a beginner with no prior knowledge, this really helped me. Thank you

Nice. I'm very new to programming/bash/linux/CLI of this (< 1 week), and followed along nicely. My abilities are expanding

So, what's basically covered was a beginning course which shows only the tip of the iceberg of the whole subject. Excellent video to begin with.

“No ads” - smashes like button💪🏾

Dope video!! Didnt quite watch the beginning as I'm currently interning in cyber-security on a PenTest and Security Auditing team but yeah... hella helpful for those starting/curious and those who are working in and/or studying said field Greatly appreciated 🙏🏾

2 hours of video, at least 4hrs of studying, debugging and stuff. thank you very much

Thank you for this wonderful offer. You're really after caring some who are outnumbered when it comes into resources. Hoping I can able to catch up everything and start on my own in an ethical way. Be blessed

Thank you my Dude, ! You are the Only Person who make Linux make sense. Subscribed !

You have a wonderful, positive disposition you give out. One human to another, thank you for your actions and attitude.

Refreshers are important because you dont want to have to take the entire course again! This is good, thank you.

this tutorial is amazing I learned a lot and you are an excellent professor.

I just say wanna say from the bottom of my heart that i think you're doing something good for society and i hope others follow your example

I am a total beginner on Linux and I truly love it. It efficient, succinct to the point and full of insider information. Thanks very much.

This is the best linux tutorial I've ever seen in my life

very profesional you are amazing! thanks for this tutorial I havent finished im at the very start but as it goes is very helpful your method of teaching!

First, thank you for your service; and putting the uniform on! I am glad that I some how stumbled across your channel; I am actually more interested in learning how to apply enhanced layers of security. I was hacked on 05.31.19 and had three years of mining block rewards stolen, ( approximately $16k at the time ), and I no longer keep anything on any of my systems at home. Back in the day; around 1991, I wrote some software for DOD in languages long since out dated these days, ( GWBasic ). I once attempted to setup some mining rigs running on Linux and quickly realized I needed to get a tad smarter on the OS. I remember back when hacker was associated as a good term; we use to write in additional features into modules not included in the original software packages; then later it became demonized and rolled in with smackers, and crackers. Thanks for providing this tutorial; I have been wanting to learn more about linux; but got momentarily distracted in mapping bitstreams on fpga's. I have enough spare parts laying around to build another X8 GPU mining rig; which version of linux would be the best version to use for this purpose? Peace

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I have worked in Technology for the past 20 years however I am thinking about making a change by going into Cybersecurity. I will receive my Bachelors in Management Information Systems next Fall and I am considering obtaining my Masters in Cybersecurity.

Thank you guys. I have been searching for an a good course like this to start my journey with Kali.

Thank you Heath. For a person who would like to learn Unix/Linux, your lessons are excellent for beginner like me. Thanks.

Salute Brother! I’m a veteran as well! (Field Artillery) just getting into the tech world🗺 was happy to see that you are a veteran! I was injured in Afghanistan, med boarded in 2014, and it’s been a rocky road from then. I feel like im finally finding my footing now, anyways thanks 🙏🏼 for your service via boots on ground, and via teaching folks like me!

Awesome thank you. Best 2 hours I’ve had in a while.

Thanks for making this video! I'm very new to Linux and programming and this is helping me a lot!

Very helpful! Thank you so much. Audio is quite compressed/distorted which is quite harsh on the ears, but besides that, perfect!

thank you for your service and for the free, in-depth tutorial

Thanks so much for this. I'm a beginner so I ran into some issues here and there, but that's also helpful in its own way. It's starting to click!

For those who already downloaded kali Linux n checked it out b4 viewing this vid, skip to around 29:00

A beautiful balance of slide and the terrminal. I am currently at 1:27:33 and just realized that you method of teaching has left me curious and pushes me to read further from sources available online. No wonder @TheCyberMentor you have such a positive following. Looking forward to learning more. Thanks and peace :)

When you explain steps, compensate more for people that don't get the same feedback on our systems as yours. Cool vid.

Thank you so much for passing on this knowledge an taking time out of your day to make awesome/educational content!

Good job. More video about it, and of course about HoneyD, I'll apreciate!

Nice introduction. Very thorough explanations. Easy to follow along.

The minute you started listing off the things before cyber security. Immediate follow. Family first. Former law-enforcement officer here. Thank you for your service.

Finally found out someone that is able to help me out to start learning kali linux.Very detailed explanation ,where you can start developing your skills for this amazing software. Thank you so much

"Will accept license and agreement and possibly give away our first born" I like this guy. 7:02

very useful video for those that are on this route. Thank you for taking the time to put this together and share it with the interested audience greatly appreciated. Great job and keep up the great work on this and lead the way.

Thank you for this video. Ive been searching for something basic and this is exactly what I needed. I started with HTB and moved to THM but this was far better at explaining things.

You’re an absolutely amazing dud thank you for taking your time to do this much appreciated 💯

Thanks for that We really appreciate it💞

Thank you for the clip!

Excellent for beginner like me, thoroughly and clearly explained. Appreciate you course.

Thank you, thank you, *TargetTrappers* !! I've been in such turmoil at the pain my husband's infidelity has caused our four children, two of them newly married. We're almost 2 years in from first DD, and inspite of my prompting, he has yet to make this most important apology to our babies for the life he's disrupted by his choices. Holly, you're in my prayers for continued healing and thank you for your bravery in sharing your story. I can't wait to share this video with my friends and hope they gain some comfort from it.

I'm literally saving all these for a day I get a laptop or computer .I just hope it doesn't get taken down by that time

The " Random Sir, please do not hack my site. " Is one of the funniest I've read in a long time. I believe your politeness is sincere, but day dreaming "what coulda been" scenarios. Fun

Kind of basic linux but very good detail amd through explanation . You are an excellent teacher and really enjoyed listening. Thanks for sharing!!!

Learning more from you than I do in class, Thank you so much

Imagine if someone secretly attached a tracker to your VM, they see you with one of the most advanced hacking systems and they’re just sitting there watching you create “hey.txt”

for anyone having trouble with the scripting section of this tutorial #!/bin/bash for ip in `seq 1 254` ; do ping -c 1 $1.$ip | grep "64 bytes" | cut -d " " -f 4 | tr -d ":" & done around seq 1 254 are TILDE `` marks (backticks) NOT single quotes '' --- see the difference? text in the section of gedit it not as clear and easy to read as the rest

I have started in this beautiful world of content on KZfaq, I am new to this and here we go with issues of cybersecurity and ethical hacking

This is an amazing video. It's very comprehensive and informative. Love this!

The intro is fire🔥🔥🔥one of the best

What are your initial thoughts/opinions on the C | EH cert, and would you recommend it versus the OSCP or alongside it?

You are a very good teacher , u know how to explain and you also give us good examples , all what I can say is thank you ! I subscribed :3

Thank you for your service! And way to go pivoting careers! Lots of folks just stick with a thing instead of trying something new!

its funny how whenever the episode changes, it sounds like slow rising low pass filter on his voice.

Love this video,free code camp u ROCK:)

this is very useful for beginners man, thanks learned a lot from it

Great course! Still quite in the beginning, but it is very simple and easy going so far. One note, I am too lazy to read all the comments, so I found the solution by myself. My default password wasn't "toor" so I had to enter the initial Edit mode and change the mode to "rw" and input the "init=/bit/bash" to reset the default password.

Hey, good work making that video , Can you make a video to guide people (noobs) into the security industry , because almost all firms ask for experience of 2 years for hiring people. So if they need experienced people where is a fresher supposed to go/get started?

I think the offensive security website has moved, to offsec and it's different from the one in the video now

This is amazing stuff! I worked on this video for about 4 hours taking notes, etc. This may be very helpful in the future. Definitely makes me want to get at least my Linux certification! Thanks for your channel!

I really appreciate your courses. Thank you so much

54:05 Common Network Commands

seq is an outdated command which is replaced by {value..value} The old line (line 9): for ip in `seq 1 254` ; do The new command is: for ip in {1..254} ; do

I am a big fan of Kali Linux. Used that in my days working as a network engineer.

THE REAL LEGENDS LIVE IN THIS CHANNEL. THANKS FOR MAKING THESE FREE AND WONDERFUL COURSES

first of all thank you so much for this amazing free course, i cant tell you how happy im with it. quick question guys, at 1:12:00 after copying my ip adress and typing the service apache2 start command, the webpage still doesnt work for me . i just installed kali so its the 2021 newest version. anyone knows why it doesnt work ? many thanks edit: already have the solucion guys, for some reason my browser put https before it. so i removed that and it worked directly. (i am a beginner XD)

I’m in awe…..This is completely over my head!

Very nice video. I never was interested in Linux, hacking, etc. I didn't know about it anything, but once by someone advice I became to interested step by step. I installed VMBox, Ubuntu after Kali, etc. And I am trying to watch videos to learn all this staff. It is not easy for my age already, need to remember many things and understand. So this video very interesting even I don't know how all internet and machine works. Maybe this course not for absolute beginners like me, because you need to now how everything works in general, IP, nmap, ping, etc, many unknown names 😁 but it help me to watch more videos about it. once more time many thanks 🙂

can you make a new tutorial for 2020 kali version? They changed a lot of things

Instead of "Linux for Ethical Hackers" this tutorial should've been probably named "Linux for Ethical Users" :)

Nice I can definietly see the end chapter BASH script being very useful for further investigation. Ive been struggling building a linux apache mysql and php webserver with active directory dhcp and domain control with ssl/ssh. Got about 75 percent there i re3con with this BASH scripting if we take tat principle further perhaps could get the whole service stack figured out.

Sooo much better than DOS! I wish this had existed in the '90s. I would have been taught it instead. Also, thank you for the vindication via your honesty about educating your cat, lol! I've done the "no mic" thing way too many times, thanks to Win+G and not having the regular Windows settings "just right" or whatever. You'd think Microsoft would have a "quick fix" toggle feature built into the mic button, so when you turn the mic on, the settings change to make it able to record, and it actually turns on and stays on, then when you're done recording, all the settings revert back, so it shuts off and stays off. Or at least they would add a Win+G setting that would give the user control over that, to make it possible or remove that possibility. They also need to add that feature to Skype, which they now also own. But I totally get why you'd be using Win+G (if that's what you're using). It's the only stable and free screen recorder available for Windows that doesn't add some stupid watermark or get crazy in some other way. Oh, and for the love of all that's good in the Universe, Win+G needs a PAUSE button added. I mean, wow. How could they not include that?!

31:32 he pronounces GUI as gooeeyyy and I love him already

I was waiting for this

Top notch training!!!! Excellent training video- thx for sharing!

amazingly explained , very simplified

I’m having issues logging in on startup. I used root for my username and toor for the password, and I still can’t login. Can you help with this issue?

Great video, but a couple caveats: 1) even on a 40" screen the text in these videos is VERY hard to read, you might want to increase the text size in the terminal in the future. Also the "for x in 'seq'" is now outdated and does not work correctly in lubuntu 18.04. It took me a bit to get the script working. Seems newer versions of bash use a different 'for' syntax. I look forward to watching more of your videos!! Keep up the good work!!
