  1. Yea depends on the overall price, intel's current highest core count cpu is the 6950x. At 10 cores this is currently $1649.99 from Newegg. I expect this upcoming 12 core I9 to be north of that. 

    I have not really had much to do with amd but With the Ryzen 9 Possible coming out with 16 cores it could be a close comparison in performance

  2. One of the things you can start with is checking You tube, there are multiple videos out there for beginners in Linux and even plenty dedicated to Kali specifically. 

     

    Just remember you have o crawl first, the info sec field is very vast and it is easy getting in over your head and getting frustrated with it.

  3. anybody have a preferred Platform/vendor?  I am looking at mainly using it for out of network testing and a possibly for a websites.

    Just wondering if anybody had good reviews of any or one that is preferred

  4. Anybody use Snort?

    I consulting on a business that has limited resources so i am looking to cut some cost, as most of the funds were spent upgraded their end user hardware and migrating necessary software to a cloud solution.  They are currently using their firewall to do everything routing, DHCP, IDS, VPN and overall network management.  A lot of those features require licences yearly, while i have already managed to repurpose some of their switches for internal routing and network management and used one of the left over servers for a DHCP server.  I wanted to see if snort would be a viable solution for IDS  so that they could have active live alerts not just someone checking the firewall.

     

    Thanks

    NordVPN had a pretty good black Friday-deal, 72$ for 2 years. Maybe they'll have it for cyber monday as well.

    If you havnt chosen one yet i would recommend Nord as a good affordable vpn.  I use it for a lot of online activities event streaming Netflix at work (during my lunch break).  and works with TOR as well if that tickles your fancy.

    Also as he said Google can be a life saver.  learning how to use the keywords can really help your search results trust me i learned the hard way.

    Yes it's perfectly legal, and it's not a key logger. If it was illegal it wouldn't be sold so openly.

     

    Should a beginner buy it? If they are willing to learn what it does and how to use it, sure. 

    Exactly what he said.  Not only that as everyone says you should do any "Testing" on an network or PC  that you do not own.  If you are looking at getting one i recommend it, there are plenty of sources to learn from that have not only been provided by Hak5 but that they have recommended as well.
