Missing "New Document" in Right-Click Menu in Kali

Having a new document /text file in right menu is very convenient. In Kali rolling i found it missing. Below is the method of how to add a new text file/ New Document to the right click menu.

In Root Folder search for Templates folder.

Inside Templates folder , if you are in GUI , right click and open In terminal , Now you are in Terminal , type leafpad "New Document".

I am using leafpad , you can use any text editor of your choice  that is installed in your system.


Save that New Document empty text file in templates folder.

and thats it, you have New document / Text file in your right menu.

How to install Virtual box in Kali linux rollling

I made Kali linux (rolling) as the primary OS for one of my systems.The problem i faced was in installation of virtual box. Regular method i.e. apt-get install virtualbox , was not working.

After doing my research ,i found this method working for me... S
Sharing here so that someone in a similar situation as mine can use it.

1. Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list
   deb http://mirror.nus.edu.sg/kali/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
2. do the following, second command might take some time, let it finish completely.
   apt-get update
   apt-get dist-upgrade
3. Once the upgrade is completed , run
   apt-get install virtualbox

Basic python program in linux to see if a port is open

Below is a simple python program in linux to see if a port is open or close.

#!/usr/bin/python
import socket
ip = raw_input("Enter the IP Address: ")
port = input("Enter the Port Number: ")
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
if sock.connect_ex((ip,port)):
        print "Port",port, "is closed"
else:
        print "Port",port, "is open"




We will use which python.py to know about the location of python, so we can use it in hash bang.
next we are importing the socket library.
taking as input and port are self explanatory.
SOCKET constants and functions are used to get socket connected to sock variable.
connect_ex will throw an exception if the port is closed , and we are utilizing it to display "the port is closed"
else it will be open.

make it executable and run,...

I am not going into details, as there are many tutorials out there to learn the basics.

Bash program to find active ips

I am learning Ethical hacking and penetration testing these days, and thought to write something in blog so that it can be helpful for others.

So today i learned how to write a bash program to find active ips on your network.

here is the program, i will explain it below.

#!/bin/bash
if [ "$1" == "" ]
then
echo "Usage: ./ping.sh [network]"
echo "Example: ./ping.sh 192.168.1"
else
for x in {1..254} ; do
ping -c 1 $1.$x |grep "64 bytes"|cut -d" " -f4|sed 's/.$//'
done
fi

I won't go into the complete details , instead i am writing out only the problems i faced.

1. first is the if command syntax , there is a space after if [ , it will give error if you write without space if[ 
2. The seq command somehow didn't worked for me, (i am using ubuntu 17), so i used {1..254}, this command will let the variable take one value at a time from 1 to 254
3. semi colon after the range is defined.
4. must use a space after sed command i.e. sed 's/....'

That is all , it worked fine for me in ubuntu. striping the text that is not important to me and only showing me the ip addresses that are active in a given network.
