Hi, I am a complete noob to everything ever so just please bear with me. I want to buy myself a basic laptop which will allow me to begin learning to hack - I have a strong knowledge of computers and want to learn Internet security and pentesting properly. I have a £450-£500 budget and I maybe can push it if needed. I want to be running Kali Linux on it and I will be partitioning a drive to get to that. I was hoping for a 15.6" screen, i5, 8gb RAM and a 1TB HDD with as much battery life as possible. I have seen normal laptops with this for £400 so I think I can get this. My real question is if there are any things I will NEED to get me started; for example I know certain wireless cards make pentesting much easier but I don't know which models or which laptops contain them (I was hoping not to buy an external one). I guess if need be I can change a wireless card but I would like to stay away from fiddling with internals. Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, MrJaMilne

What are some good statements for getting GPU information. Pretty much I just need the make of the GPU so I can install drivers. Here's some of the ideas I came up with. As you can see they are not really catch all statements. I need just a bit of help. Any ideas would be great. ISINTEL="Intel" IsINTEL=$(lspci | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D' | grep '00:0' | cut -d ' ' -f 5) if [ "$IsINTEL" == "$ISINTEL" ]; then echo -e "Intel" fi ISNVIDIA="NVIDIA" IsNVIDIA=$(lspci | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D' | grep '00:0' | cut -d ' ' -f 4) if [ "$IsNVIDIA" == "$ISNVIDIA" ]; then echo -e "NVIDIA" fi ISAMD="Advanced" IsAMD=$(lspci | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D' | grep '00:0' | cut -d ' ' -f 5) if [ "$IsAMD" == "$ISAMD" ]; then echo -e "AMD" fi On a personal note, my BASH skills are getting a lot better.

I want to build a workstation to polish my Pen test Skills for my Security Analyst job interviews and want to have something powerful to do the all Security related work. so I want to know that what GPU and CPU is better for such Cracking passwords and hashes plus can also handle serious workload?. Are professional GPUs better for hacking sort of work or the Gaming GPUs?. I also want to know which CPU is better to go for Xeon or i7 extreme?.Thanks

Hi guys, I was recently looking to get a cheap laptop to stay portable when having some fun with the pineapple, but then I thought; what if I wanted to do some bruteforcing on the go? Then I would have to use its GPU. But I doubt that a cheap laptop will get the job done fast enough on the graphics side. So I did some looking around and found a few external GPU adapters. As long as your laptop has a PCIe slot, you should be good to go. And although it goes through PCIe x2 interface, I think it shouldn’t even matter when using the card for number crunching …as long as you have enough juice to power the thing (car charger adapter for example or just a large battery). This way if you already have a good graphics card, you can take it with you to do something a little more serious than what you could with a laptop onboard GPU. Anyway, I just wanted to share this with you because I thought that maybe this would be interesting for you guys to check out, discuss and have some fun with. Tell me what you think

I've been seeing some trends in external graphics cards for gaming. Have any of you guys used PCI/PCIe expansion bays or GPU docks for cracking or mining? What has your experience been like?

I have a Nvidia GeForce GT 610 and i want to get a card that works faster with pyrit but not sure which one to upgrade to, any suggestions? Oh and it has to be cheap and affordable.
