Secureaks Blog - Pentest and cybersecurity

If you're just starting out, or simply want to test Kali Linux in an isolated environment, installing it on a virtual machine is an excellent option. This allows you to manipulate the distribution without touching your main system, in complete safety.

In this article, I'll show you how to install Kali Linux on VirtualBox in just a few minutes, without going through the classic installation process. We'll be using an official preconfigured image provided by the Kali team.

WordPress powers more than 43% of the world's websites today, making it the most widely used content management platform (CMS). But this popularity also makes WordPress a prime target for cyber attacks.

Vulnerabilities in extensions, outdated themes, weak configurations... A poorly protected WordPress can easily become an attacker's entry point. Fortunately, there are some simple and effective best practices to reduce the risks.

In this article, we'll take a look at how to secure a WordPress site, with practical advice you can apply today.

When performing a security audit on a web application, it is essential to identify publicly exposed resources, such as files, folders or API endpoints. Enumerating these elements can uncover potential security flaws and expand the attack surface.

There are several tools available for this task, including FFuF (Fast Fuzzing), which we'll discuss here.

Penetration testing, or pentesting, is an essential step in assessing the security of web applications. It involves simulating attacks in order to identify and correct potential vulnerabilities. Different approaches to pentesting exist, each offering a unique perspective on system security. The main methods are blackbox, greybox and whitebox testing.

If you love cybersecurity and want to start web pentesting, you're in the right spot.

I'm excited to share a list of resources and platforms that helped me start and continue in my career.
