Installing Hexedit on Kali Linux

Hexedit, is tool to edit the hex file. Hex file may contain a binary package which can be execute, after it has been compiled from the source code. Remembering on the last Backtrack, this tool still packaged with about over 300 another tools which ready to doing pentest action. But when I have installed Kali Linux, I did not see that tool again. Although there is another tool like GVim, but I more like Hexedit than another tool. Because Hexedit is lightweight. So we don't need a big resource to using that tool.
Okay, because I did not found Hexedit on Kali Linux, I will installed it from the Kali or Debian repository. It the best way to installed Hexedit on Kali Linux.
First, you need to open the source of your repository at /etc/apt directory.
root@h3:~# leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list
Second, add the new source of Kali repository (see recommended repository for Kali Linux), save and exit.
deb http://mirror.nus.edu.sg/kali/kali kali main
Third, you can running update of apt and install hexedit package.
root@h3:~# apt-get update && apt-get install hexedit
After that you can remove the new source which have you added into list of repository source. Do update again, and now you can using Hexedit on your Kali Linux.

Share Connection eth0 on Kali

When I was still using Backtrack as pentest Operating System on my netbook, I need to configure everything about networking, include sharing connection over eth0 interface. I must type on the terminal to set up the interface, then set the IP and netmask, etc. After setting the interface connection, I also must to configure  iptables to forwarding the internet connection from the other interface into eth0 , and the last step I must turn on forwarding rule. It's really fun, although need several step to do it. But, when I am using Kali Linux, I realise that the step which can I do on backtrack doesn't running on Kali Linux. After learn several option about networking on Kali, finally I can share connection over eth0 on Kali Linux. Okay, the first assume that we must have connected internet (not using eth0 ). Next, when your connection are ready, you can right click on the networking icon, select Edit Connection. Edit Connection When the window "Networking Connectio

Bypassing Nokia Maps N9

Nokia N9 have maps application, both of Nokia Maps and Nokia Drive are related one to other. But the same problem with Nokia Drive on Nokia N9 also occur in Nokia Maps (see here ). Nokia Maps also need logged in Nokia Account before you can use Nokia Maps. So I think the same way with bypassing Nokia Account in Nokia Drive will be succeed too in Nokia Maps. The same step can be read on my previous post here , until preparing the configuration Nokia Drive download. Okay let's go! First, make sure you have installed Filebox and setting to show hidden files and show root filesystem. Open browser on your N9 and download Modified Nokia Maps Configuration here . Don't press clear when the download has finished, just tap Done. Go to Filebox, and navigate to /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads , you'll found Maps.conf there, copy and paste this file into /home/user/.config/Nokia . But I recommend you if there's existing Nokia Maps Configuration backup it into Maps.conf.bak the

This is my first tutorial of Kali Linux on my blog. So let's begin to fixing an error about Ralink wireless driver when we installing Kali Linux. Kali Linux Desktop When we are on the network configuration page from installation Kali Linux, the PC which used Ralink wireless will be notice that the driver need external source to be installed at installation of Kali Linux, in order to the wireless work normally. To satisfy that condition, we need the external source which contain anything about Ralink driver. As we know, Kali Linux is based on Debian Wheezy, so i was searching all about Ralink wireless driver. Ahaaa, when i had read from one of them, i found the package (see  http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi ). Let's try to identify where our file which we needed. On this tutorial, we w
