Installation and use of go

What is go?

Go (Golang) is often used to develop and install various tools in Kali Linux, particularly those focused on security, penetration testing, and network analysis. 

Use of Go in Installing Tools on Kali Linux:

Development of Security Tools:

  • Tools Written in Go: Many modern security tools available on Kali Linux are written in Go due to its speed, efficiency, and simplicity. Examples include Subfinder (a subdomain discovery tool), Amass (a network mapping tool), and GoBuster (a directory/file brute-forcing tool).

Ease of Installation:

  • Go Environment: Installing Go tools often requires setting up a Go environment, which is straightforward on Kali Linux. Once set up, tools can be installed using Go’s package manager with a single command, often from source repositories like GitHub.
  • Go Get Command: You can install many Go-based tools using the go get command, which fetches the tool’s source code, compiles it, and installs it.

Cross-Platform Compatibility:

  • Universal Tools: Go’s ability to compile to different platforms ensures that tools developed on Kali can be used across various environments, making them highly portable.

 Steps for install go:

  • first go in terminal. and type go version and check go is already installed or not.
  • if the go lang is already installed but not properly working then for uninstall type sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go .
  • then go on the official site of Golang (https://go.dev/doc/install) and install the file.
  • then go in download folder. for that use cd Downloads.
  • than check file installed or not. for that use ls.
  • than type tar -xzf go1.22.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz.
  • then check the go is installed or not. for that use ls.
  • then move this to user/local. for that use sudo mv go /user/local.
  • then open bashrc. for that type mousepad /.bashrc. 
  • then go at last and type the path (export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin). and restart the terminal.
  • then again open the terminal and type go version for check go is installed or not. 
  • if not installed then open mousepad /.zshrc then go at last and type the path (export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin) and restart the terminal.

OWASP Top 10 : Understanding Broken Access Control

-
Image
What is broken access control? Broken access control is a security issue where users can access data or perform actions that they shouldn't be allowed to. This happens when the system fails to properly enforce rules about what users can and cannot do. Types of access controls :  1 . Vertical privilege escalation:  Vertical privilege escalation happens when a normal user gains access to functionalities reserved for higher-privileged users. Example:  A normal user can change the policies of the company.  2. Horizontal privilege escalation:  Horizontal privilege escalation allows a user to switch their access to another user's account, essentially impersonating them. Example:  A normal user can switch their account to admin.  3 . Insecure direct object reference ( IDOR):  IDOR occurs when an application exposes a reference to an internal implementation object, such as a file, directory, or database key. Example:  Suppose...

In the vast ocean of cyberspace, lurking beneath the surface, lies a deceptive menace known as phishing attacks. Like a crafty angler casting its bait, cybercriminals employ phishing tactics to lure unsuspecting victims into their web of deceit. But what exactly are phishing attacks, and how can we safeguard ourselves against them? Let's dive in and explore. What is Phishing? Phishing is a type of cyber-attack where malicious actors masquerade as trustworthy entities, such as banks, social media platforms, or government agencies, to deceive users into divulging sensitive information, such as passwords, credit card numbers, or personal details. These attacks typically occur through email, text messages, or deceptive websites designed to mimic legitimate sources, tricking users into providing their confidential data. How Phishing Works? Phishing attacks often employ cunning tactics to manipulate human psychology and exploit vulnerabilities in our digital behaviors. For exam...

Network Segmentation: Enhancing Security and Performance

-
Our networks in the modern digital world include a wealth of private. Information. Safeguarding data is crucial, encompassing both financial documents and client details. Network segmentation is useful in this situation as a  effective technique that boosts network performance and security at the same time.   Consider a castle with one massive gate. For just one point of entry, that's a lot of responsibility! Network segmentation is similar to constructing several gates, each of which opens to a distinct area inside the walls of a fortress. It creates walls between various device kinds and functionalities, segmenting your network into smaller, easier-to-manage areas. Why Divide Up Your Network Into Segments? There are two advantages to network segmentation: Enhanced Protection: By dividing up your network, you can isolate a compromise in one area and stop hackers from accessing vital information by moving freely around the network. It's similar to containing the contamina...
