So, you want to set up Tails live Linux USB, but for one reason or another, you can't follow the instructucation provided for one reason or another; in my case, due to policy restrictions. What to do? Well, here is an alternative method that should be just as cryptographically secure as the "official" instructions.

Today, we will go over creating a bootable USB with Kali, and an encrypted persitence that is also nukable. What this means, is that the USB itself will be bootable, but all the data will be encrypted. The encryption will not only have a decryption password, but it will also have a Nuke password; put in the Nuke password, and even the correct password will not be able to decrypt it. Read on for the complete how-to.

SO often here at work we need to run the Linux netstat command to get various network details. More often than not, we need to run the netstat command with the -r flag to get routing details. While I am very familiar with the output, I have yet to fully memorize all the route flags and what they mean. Comically enough, there is no article here in our knowledge base that provides this info... So I am putting it up on my website here and now, and will write up an article about it later.

We all have our "preferred" or "favored" linux distro we use; mine is CrunchBangPlusPlus (#!++). While it absolutely meets all my day-to-day needs, I really wish it had some of the tools Kali has... Like John the ripper, nmap, hping3, kismet... Just to name a few. Sure, I could go ahead and take a look at the full list, and install each tool individually, but that would be far more time consuming than I would like. Especially when you can go ahead and just add the repositories to your exising Debian-based install. Here's how:

While I have some Checkpoint certifications, and my job title is Network Security Engineer, this does not make me an expert across all firewall products. Certainly, there are many similarities, and there is indeed a lot of transferable knowledge and skills, each product has it own set of unique things. This can vary as widely as how a packet is inspected, the order of NAT vs. firewall rules, etc... I came across a forum post on Sophos' website which I have been referring to quite often. For my own personal notes, I will put the important details below.
