This how to describes how to configure Kali to use a openVPN for securing your traffic.

Why should u use VPN?

Here’s my top 5 why you want to use a VPN service.

  1. VPN provides Privacy and hides your own External IP address.
  2. Use any network (public or private or free (hotspot WiFi) with encryption.
  3. Login to your home or Work network from anywhere with confidence of encrypted traffic.
  4. Bypass censorship and content monitoring  by goverments.
  5. Browse and bypass Firewall and censorship policy from Anywhere!

As you can see from the list above, VPN not necessarily hides everything. Search engines like google, bing and yahoo can still recognizes you based on your cookies or account sign-in. So make sure you use tools like Bleachbit (clear browsing data etc) and enable plugins in your browser for tracking and ads (privacy badger, uBlock Origin or Privacy.net analyzer).

How to install BeEF on Ubuntu

Beef BeEF stands for The Browser Exploitation Framework. It is a great penetration testing tool that focuses on the web browser.

Amid growing concerns about web-borne attacks against clients, including mobile clients, BeEF allows the professional penetration tester to assess the actual security posture of a target environment by using client-side attack vectors. Unlike other security frameworks, It looks past the hardened network perimeter and client system, and examines exploitability within the context of the one open door: the web browser. It will hook one or more web browsers and use them as beachheads for launching directed command modules and further attacks against the system from within the browser context.

How to connect an iPhone to Fortigate firewall for tunneling

2016-01-27 3 min read Fortigate Security Erwin Bierens

This article provides a sample IPSec VPN configuration for use with iPhone and iPad. I’ve tested the following on a Fortigate 60C with FortiOS v4.0 MR3 Patch 9 and v5.0,build3608 (GA Patch 7) but I think it will work even with previous firmware versions.

This is the only way to connect an iPhone or an iPad with a Tunnel VPN, because the FortiClient APP only supports Web Bookmarks.

Let’s go!
