Aspiring Ethical Hacker Laptop Recommendations!

Thanks a ton! Best of luck in your journey. I hope to be more active on YouTube and make some YT specific vids that are a bit longer. Like 3 minutes or so in the future. I'm not a fan of vids longer than that these days!

xLukasSnow I’m just gonna say this now, please don’t use parrot or kali they are awful since they have so many tools you don’t need and they are NOT for beginners please just use a vm when using kali (thats what virtualization is for) or if you want an light weight os you can just install ubuntu or manjaro or debian or even arch (hard)(with like 5 packages and your good)! So dont use Unless you use all 300 kali tools... and also this crypto guy has been spreading a lot of false information.
Ex: “your network has been compromised with this device that intercepts all packets”
I think he forgot about https

TL;DR dont use kali or parrot(virtualize it) too many tools use something like debian and dont listen to this guy

Edit: dont get me wrong his laptop recommendations are really good and kali linux isnt awful but it just has toooo much software you dont know what you even have and parrot os is ok but it isnt my favorite when I can just make my own pentesting os with arch(which is my choice of linux)

@Crypto The Llama aye your small videos rock

@Crypto The Llama hey what do you think about the thinkpad e14 gen2 or the thinkpad e15

What do you think about Ryzen 5 3500U with 8gb 2666Mhz and 512GB M.2 NVME? Please let me know

@Shoyeb Zaman yep that will do great.I have ryzen 5 3550h.

@ZeusCybersec thank you

What about ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14?

@Ashiqur Rahman Fahad that will be great!

@ZeusCybersec thanx brother

I Just Got A Regular Hp

@Gordo Quata no worries.my first laptop was crap too.Gain knowledge and when you are serious about cybersecurity go for a good high end laptop🙂

zeus cybersec Thanks Alot . Any Recommendations ?

@Gordo Quata it totally depends on your budget.Go for at least i5 8gen processor or ryzen 5 processor and 8 gb ram minimum.Having a good GPU helps in password cracking with hashcat.Anything above this is great.

zeus cybersec Thanks Alot . I'll Definitely Look Into This .

Will amd ryzen 5 work instead of Intel i5 ?

@TAXLO yep.I use ryzen 5

@ZeusCybersec is it good ? I'm thinking to buy Asus tuf fx505dt

@TAXLO It's great!Go for it! I use Asus tuf fx505dy.

@ZeusCybersec i will be using it for gaming codding and editing is that good for that and it's price is 55000 rupees approx 800$

@TAXLO yes asus laptops are great.I had bought mine at 45,000 INR however currently the price of all laptops has increased.If it fits your budget,Go for it it's good!

@ZeusCybersec if your Indian please tell me if they gonna decrease price at diwali ? And when did you bought?

@TAXLO I have no idea when the prices will drop.As far as I remember I had bought it during a sale befor corona.

Is an i5 Gen 10 good?

@Brandon yep

@ZeusCybersec ohh I'll wait till diwali then

@ZeusCybersec btw you bought online or offline?

@TAXLO it's only available online.Not in retail market

Ryzen is better and more affordable imo

TAXLO the TUF 15 is a great laptop with the new ryzen 4700u processors

You didnt read the "ethical" in its name?

That's an odd username you have. Is it German?

Vbox is good

Dont use it as a main device. Use it as an attack vector or for testing applications or exploits.

@Gray Shell lol, why would I use it as an attack vector or for testing? No offense, but that's just silly

@Ruslan Yakushev By attack vector I mean you use it as a platform to launch attacks from. My definition of attack vector isnt the generally accepted one, this is just my own way of thinking. As an attack platform its good becayse its cheap and can be ditched if needed as well as you can have a bunch of SD cards and change its function entirely. For me I run a pi through mobaXterm with vnc. As for testing its fairly obvious how beneficial it may be to test unknown software or your own scripts on a system that isnt very valuable and that can remain in place and be controlled from elsewhere and shared files from my own machine. I do know that virtualbox and vmware are a thing, I just prefer to use MobaXterm as it makes connecting with mutliple pis easy instead of just running one virtual machine thats eating up resources. Though you can manage how much it uses.

@Gray Shell I was just saying stuff

@Ruslan Yakushev Ah ok, wasnt sure if you wanted an answer or not lmao

@Gray Shell why aren't you using a ssh connection btw?

@Ruslan Yakushev VNC piggybacks off of SSH. The issue is you need to somehow connect your pi to a network so you can actually ssh into it, which is hard to do if you dont have a way to control it. For me I have my pi auto connect to the network created by my thinkpads second antenna. Then I can ssh into it and see its desktop using vnc.

Its limited on some of the tools you can run. Many of which are the reason people use Kali or or some ither distro in the first place.

@Gray Shell apt install kali-linux-large. Check it out.

How's the linux support?

@Sayeed Al Sifat great on Ubuntu and redhat plus CentOS

I didnt see the video but there are a lot of devices out there... look into <Hak5 Gear>

Yes it is.

@Filip I had to upgrade the ram to 8gb and fortunately it had ubuntu pre-installed but replaced with arch. I had to set the cpu governer to performance but sometimes the fan noise gets crazy high if cpu intensive(/memory leaked)processes run on it

Joe Huh? I find that all the games that i play that work on linux are faster????? Same with so many other people??? I am confused... I have a gtx 1660

@Taylor S Nvidia GPU's have driver issues with most linux distros

Your own brain and a keyboard. Dont buy tools, learn how to code and research, explore sites like Hack The Box. Learn everything about Windows Systems and move onto Linux Systems. Pick a programming language and start developing your own tools. Eventually youll know enough to understand the protocols and concepts behind the tools out there and then you can start buying them.

@Anonymous Secure No one should use metasploit unless they are exploiting vulnerabilities And while this is a form of hacking, you should still learn the basics first as it is difficult to understand what you are exploiting or the effects of said exploit without a foundation. Learn the basics first, that being Windows then Linux and then pick a programming language.

Nope you need a laptop that isn't that restrictive.

They was beast Buddy

@K I R 4 N Thanx brother

How? He doesn't make any money off of these nor does he have affiliate links.

I think thinpad will be better option
