    Stuff broke

    There's a step by step tutorial on kali's website for downloading nvidia drivers. I have found it to work very well if it's followed correctly. https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/install-nvidia-drivers-on-kali-linux/

    Kali boots to GNU Grub

    I believe that is correct. They basically follow what debian does so there ya go. It's kind like selecting xfce as your DE. Except in kali it's about a third xfce, 13 kde and 1/3 gnome. Don't believe me. Try removing all of kde or gnome from your xfce and see what happens.

    Kali Everyday

    It could always be used for everyday use. It's no more unstable than any other rolling release. What makes it unstable is the bevy of tools downloaded from other places that break your system. If you kept you non repo tools in virtual env and did the updates it would be just fine. The...

    GRUB Rescue:Need help from someone with patience

    Shut your computer off. Install bootable drive. Start new install. When you get to the partitioning, select manual and be sure to delete the data on each partition, delete the partitons and start over. Honestly, you'll drive yourself nuts trying to use grub rescue. The commands are all...

    Am I Stupid?

    I've use the webshells. I personally use them for pentesting, however....If you can upload one to a webserver through flaw or misconfigured server, then you can get RCE on the server.

    Linux admin to Devops engineer

    There's alot to still get a handle on. I'm sure it's already been mentioned but just in case. You 'll definitely need to master python. You should knwow perl, C and C++ really well also. LLVM, clang, gcc are someo the more well used build architecture for linux. Unix also comes in handy...

    Need some assistance with LLVM

    I would like to build the LLVM-AMDGPU backend but I am really confused about how to even start. I have compiled and installed llvm-17 and clang. It was done through the llvm-project so there's other related files. If anyone is familiar with that process I'd like to hear from you. My...

    How do I get Xfce back?!

    sudo apt install kali-desktop-core, kali-themes, lightdm. And for future reference, you don't have to delete one first, hteybe fine installed at the same time. Oh yea, one more thing.....make a backup before doing something like that. An external hard drive is cheap nowadays.

    Kali is packin on the pounds

    I hate to say it, but Kali is getting bloated and heavy. I'm not sure what the devs are doing but this push for gnome is not something I'm thrilled about. They keep adding tools, alot of which are non-functioning, need repair or are a knock off version of something already installed. There...

    Kali Linux update issue

    For starters it looks like you've tried downloading the same file multiple times, hence the errror. Where did you download this from and to where. Bare meta.? VM? Dual Boot? Laptop? Desktop. Without knowing much, I would suggest this and in case you 're curious, Kali will break sometimes...

    What is your home set-up?

    My only two usernames that I've used back in the day were actually given to me by others. Keep in mind this is 2010 timeframe. One was ghost because I had a habit of just dropping out of chats or only being present when there was stuff to do. The other one I got later was Ronin. I developed...

    What is your home set-up?

    I only joined a few weeks ago. Most of the only messaging I do is through IRC. I joined while trying figure out why my brand grahics card wasn't working properly after exhausting every other resource. My username was the first one that was available that I typed in. I think my icon speaks...

    What is your home set-up?

    It's so interesting to read through those. Everything from the sophisticated and flashy to "I have half a laptop I pretend is a tower." It doesn't take much, "all we need is a keyboard and a connection" as we used to say. It's good I think to get some insight as to who were talking to...

    What is your home set-up?

    Something that has always interested me was the different set-ups that people have, especially gamers. I always wonder when I read posts, "is this person sitting on the couch with a laptop, are they working from home and just commenting from time to time, so on and so on. I was hoping maybe...
