Mac OS, Windows 7, eight and 10 and different Linux Distros. There are a number of different virtual machines that you can download directly into VirtualBox. Once the file is downloaded, we will then be moving into the VirtualBox environment and importing this image. That's normal, as it's quite a large file. It may take a bit of time to download, depending on your internet connection. If we select that link, we'll be able to download directly from the website. As you can see, there are VMware and Hyper-V Kali Linux Box images. We've already installed VirtualBox, so we will choose the VirtualBox version. If we move over to the menu, where it says Kali and more Kali Linux downloads, we're going to be downloading a virtual image. We'll use it frequently in the rest of the simulation videos. Kali Linux is a distribution of Linux, also know as a Distro and is a favorite of penetration testers. In this video we're going to be installing a penetration testing operating system called, Kali Linux, built by a company called, Offensive Security. We welcome all feedback and suggestions - please contact us at let us know what you think. There are no prerequisites for this course, however, participants are expected to have a basic understanding of computers and the internet. Cyber Primer is aimed at anyone with an interest in cyber security, whether they are looking to pursue a career as a penetration tester, or just want to get a feel for the world of cyber security. ISMS: Information Security Management SystemsĪlthough perceived as an IT issue, cyber security is, in fact, a subject relevant to all business units.Kali Linux is a Linux operating system used by penetration testers. They are followed by two software simulations, showing how to install a hypervisor so that a Kali Linux virtual machine can be run.

This module will introduce some of the core themes of cyber security.
