Networking/pentesting learning with persistent live usb OS or Virtual OS?
by cyno77 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5J3EK)
This is a light, theoretical question:
Virtual Operating Systems have been recommended to me a/ I had trouble with resizing on my hard disc partitions. I have been investigating the possibility of trying out Kali (tools) to learn Networking (have been with Ubuntu for a year+ Windowses for a decade).
I wanted to get the LQ opinion on why virtual OS is good, (does it get in touch with drivers properly?) and why not use a "live OS on USB- Persistent" if I wanted to try pentesting lightly, as this option may ALSO allow for a kind of sandboxed environment?
What is the opinion of using Live USB Linux/kali, and what is it about Virtual that is better for a sandboxed environment? Have done OpenSSH& Telnet,Nmap, port scan, etc
