BackTrack6:

Hmmmm, what a question. You already run a virtual machine and you're still asking. The only consequence you will encounter is that all running OS will compete for the RAM but since u run just one OS along with your host OS, ur 2gig RAM can manage them. For me, I use a 2gig RAM system with 3 OSes running in my virtual machine. So you're good.

Slyr0x: ^^

In addition to what Backtrack6 said, the best thing you can do is to upgrade to a 4GB RAM atleast. .and dedicate at least 1GB to kali for optimum performance (even though 512MB was stated as the minimum in its official doc).

Imagine you have to run some password cracking scripts with a HUGE dictionary wordlist or you need to dump a huge Database. .Also, another mistake you should NOT make is allocate small HDD space to kali. I initially gave Kali 12GB HDD but after installation, I was getting the "memory low error". I tried expanding it but it became a HUGE problem as there was no possible way of expanding after installation (judging from all the searches I did). . Also, remember with time, you will have to update the frameworks. .Metasploit framework on its own could take about 300MB per update. .

All in all, for optimum performance, atleast 1GB RAM & 20GB HDD.

BackTrack6: @slyr0x were u able to participate in the notsosecure capture the flag competition? I wasn't able to.

Phew! my rainbow table is almost done...94%

BackTrack6: @slyr0x, do u hv ur Kali Linux in virtual machine or as a host? I intend changing my BT5 from being in a VM to being a host.

Nice one. I just read through your approach to catching the flag and I can indeed say you're good. We dey follow you, boss.

Slyr0x:

Thanks bro. .Na only God we dey follow ooo. .Did you watch the video?

Tolustar: Good day bosses..i just saw this topic, and i really love the knowledge that is passed across here...pls i have a question, i have windows 7 on my laptop and just downloaded virtual box to add another O.S to my system...but i need advice on which to add, for a beginner should i go for kali linux, or backtrack5 or ubuntu......and pls give me a list of your hacking books, don't worry about the links, i will search 4 them myself,so this will help me a bit in getting right books and not rubbish...i hail just_thinking,doncrust,backtrack,megatran,cytrex,slyrox and co....i know say one day i go get there......
THANK YOU

BackTrack6: Good morning all. Abeg dons in the house, smtin dey wan confuse imelf no be me. Oyibo say make we disable Java for our system as the thing get vulnerability. Though it is cool but I don't seem too good with the whole thing. For example AngryIP scanner is a very good tool that tells us which node is live on a network. VegaSetup is also another tool used to check vulnerabilty on web apps. One common thing with these 2 tools, among others, is that they require Java to first of all install properly before being used. I have tried AngryIP scanner and I can vouch for it, though I haven't tried Vega yet.
Why Java dey do person like this or why winch dey follow Java. Any write up one goes through, they'll advise that Java be disabled. My people abeg help me put mouth for this matter.
@Tolustar, u wan install uncle Kali as a starter. No let am break ur head oo. Just teasing mahn. Keep it up. I repeat, uncle slyr0x, we still dey follow u oooo God bless us all.

Tolustar: please, gurus in the house, i'm having problems after installing kali linux...i tells me " a problem occured, please contact your system administrator", and i can't find this on google... please help me o..............
