Everything About it.
As a newbie, I was continually having issues with installations or resources. Every time I attempted to learn anything new, something held me back, such as a lack of expertise or difficult processes or commands while installing resources. In today's blog, I will most likely expose you to all of the techniques for installing or accessing a Linux shell that may be utilized in Penetration Testing, Shell scripting, Software Development, educational reasons, and so on.
Linux is a Unix-like operating system. Debian, Fedora, and Ubuntu are its popular distributions. One of which, Kali Linux, is most popular among Penetration Testers. There are many methods to install a Linux-based operating system. Among all of them, Installing Linux on the local system is not recommended for beginners who do not understand its functioning properly and also when there are better solutions, which we will cover below.
All of the techniques are ranked based on their simplicity of use and the likelihood of problems during installation. None of the methods on the list cost any money, and they have a large open-source community to assist you if you need it.
