A revised introduction to the Linux operating system for beginning hackers and penetration testers.If you’re getting started along the exciting path of hacking, cybersecurity, and pentesting, this book is an excellent first step. Using Kali Linux—an advanced penetration testing distribution of Linux—you’ll quickly pick up the basics of using the Linux operating system, and acquire the tools and techniques you’ll need to take control of a Linux environment. Later chapters focus on foundational hacking concepts like security, anonymity and scripting, along with practical tutorials and exercises that test your skills.This fully revised second edition covers the latest version of Kali, includes new options for setting up a Linux virtual machine, and discusses some differences between the bash and Z shells used on the newest versions of the distribution. It also addresses contemporary examples of real-world hacking, such as the cyberwar between Russia and Ukraine.You’ll learn how to:Install Kali on a virtual machine and build your own hacking tools Perform common tasks like manipulating text and controlling file and directory permissionsCover your tracks by leveraging the rsyslog logging utilityHide your internet activity using Tor, proxy servers, VPNs, and encrypted emailWrite bash and Python scripts to scan open ports for potential targetsIf you’re ready to dive into hacking, cybersecurity, or pentesting, Linux Basics for Hackers, 2nd Edition is exactly what you need to get going.

Learn to build a web app that can monitor millions of posts across all social media platforms to chart public opinion in real time.Social media has become our modern-day agora, the place where we get our news and engage in political discourse. With disinformation, hate speech, foreign interference, authoritarianism, market monopolization, and political polarization all on the rise, monitoring social media in the public interest has never been so difficult nor so urgent. Social Media Observatory is an in-depth beginner’s guide to coding full-stack web applications in Python to track and analyze social media activity at scale, giving you unparalleled insights into the cultural and political conversations of our time, then empowering you to reach your own conclusions.You’ll start by coding a web app to monitor Russian disinformation channels discussing Ukraine on Telegram, then learn more adversarial methods to scrape the Wayback Machine, Instagram, and TikTok. You’ll detect Twitter bots following Saudi influencers, extract text-embedded URLs to reveal a white supremacist blogosphere, parse archived tweets to reveal the discourse leading up to the January 6 insurrection, and learn to circumvent Meta's and ByteDance's defenses to scrape Instagram and TikTok, collecting evidence of war crimes in the Middle East. Finally, you’ll write an API and deploy your observatory to a cloud server to collaborate with other investigators. By the end of the book, you’ll have a working website that allows collaborators to log in, request data collection, and perform analysis of collected data, via a point-and-click interface. Along the way, you’ll learn to:Use Python and RabbitMQ to retrieve Telegram data from a remote APIStore data with PostgreSQL and query it with SQLAlchemyAnalyze the data you’ve retrieved with Pandas, NetworkX, Gephi, and other toolsUse state-of-the-art AI tools to transcribe audio and classify textDeploy a website with an interactive dashboard using FastAPI, Dash, Cytoscape, Uvicorn, Gunicorn, Nginx, AWS, and Let’s EncryptContainerize your apps with Docker and provision infrastructure with PulumiWhether you’re a citizen scientist, a security researcher, a journalist, an activist, or a scholar, Social Media Observatory is an essential blueprint for building your window into online worlds.
