Cyber security

For the "Hackers" On Sololearn (SL) some post questions asking about hacking, that is fine. As a hacker, you might have to bit goodbye to these and get hand-on with operating system called "Linux". Linux IS one of the most powerful operating system.As matter of fact, mobile OS_Android IS powered by Linux. Linux has various open-source distributions such as (Ubuntu, Red Hat , Backtrack , kali, etc). But i think kali Linux is the best choice to learn hacking.

Uchiha Itachi sololearn current doesn't offer such a course and it is not recommended on a beginner platform. Your concern is off topic and not really a coding issue. Please follow the forum guidelines. https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/3021159/?ref=app

A few issues with this post. First of all GNU/Linux is not an operating system. It’s a FOSS Unix-based kernel. That aside, If you want to go into ethical hacking I’d recommend either: Kali Linux or Parrot Security OS personally, which are Linux distributions (aka distros). I’ve also heard good things from BackBox, BlackArch Linux, and ArchStrike. However be careful with starting with an Arch-based distro if you’re new to Linux as it’s a bit tougher to get a hold of. A good way to start if you’re new to Linux distros would probably be Ubuntu with security tools added to it. Feel free to follow this guide: https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/install-network-security-and-penetration-tools-on-ubuntu/. Secondly, while Android is based on a modified version of the Linux kernel it generally is not reffered to as “Linux.” This is because it diverges quite significantly in its user space and its overall architecture. Finally, what’s your actual question?

Uchiha Itachi though FOSS is built on top of a Linux kernel it is not the same as Linux as it has its own architecture and software additives ... thus Free and Open Source Software

^ Correct. GNU is the software. Linux is the kernel. The majority of all linux distros are based upon these 2 main components. ))

This is the most blatant usage of chatgpt I have ever seen so far on this platform. The cut off of the words at the end mid sentence really seals the beauty of it. I genuinely don’t get the point of doing this.

Kali Linux is indeed a popular choice among cybersecurity enthusiasts and ethical hackers due to its specialized tools and pre-installed software designed for penetration testing and security assessments. Here are a few reasons why Kali Linux is often recommended for learning hacking and cybersecurity: 1. **Penetration Testing Tools**: Kali Linux comes with a vast array of pre-installed penetration testing tools, including tools for network sniffing, vulnerability assessment, password cracking, and more. This makes it convenient for cybersecurity professionals to perform various security tests and assessments. 2. **Community Support**: Kali Linux has a large and active community of security professionals, enthusiasts, and developers. This community support can be valuable for learning, troubleshooting, and staying updated with the latest trends and tools in cybersecurity. 3. **Customizability**: Being based on Debian, Kali Linux is highly customizable. Users can install additional tools and customize their
