Dual Boot Kali Linux v2018.1 With Windows 10

How To Dual Boot Kali Linux v2018.1 With Windows 10... well, theoretically that should be super simple if you have a new installation of WIN10 and no anti-virus ect.

This link here will provide you all you need, except its preferred for rufus to make DD Image.
btw - rebooting with usb
instant reboot UEFI cmd "shutdown /r /fw /t 0"
if fails to load CD-ROM... superuser

But while trying to shrink my 0.5TB hard drive to 250GB-250GB, i kept getting this error message

There is not enough space available on the disk(s) to complete this operation.

Simple answer is that all kind of services are having all kind of clusters around the hard drive that are security locked and you can't touch them.

There is the final simple solution, that might work, and then the long one...
Most likely that if you turn off some security features as explained here in super user and even the extras in this link you will be able to then go to the next step.

Next step is to disable the anti-virus, in my case ESET NOD32, including HIPS, and then find the size that you can actually shrink the volume, mine was 10GB at a time, while i had to restart after every 1 or 2 shrinks. tool aloooooot of time.

Try all that 1st, and if you dont manage read further.



In my case all that didn't work, so after a few tries i learned 2 things.

1 - my hard drive is SSD, which means that you can't (nor need) to normally defragment it, so those files stay where they are. with SSD you just "trim" it, so that's that.

2 - I can (usually) learn where my locked file is. press start, "Event Viewer" -> Windows Logs -> Applications.

Every shrink attempt includes a defrag job, which is being logged, Source = Defrag. if there is an error one of the logs before the error will be something including a command line like 

fsutil volume querycluster \\?\Volume{64160e22-978c-4d8b-84a2-43e086de88cb} 0xbf9d9



Open the Command Prompt  as Administrator and run the command you'll get the path to the file. most of my files were ESET's files. so i had to restart in Safe Mode to delete them, and from that point on the above, 1st part of this post, worked for me.


p.s.
fair warning, what you install you linux, and want to download 3.x python, download locally to that user only and not globally since the distro is build on 2.7 and that causes some upgrade errors.


p.s. 2 - what to do after installing the kali?

1st upgrade
   sudo apt-get update -y && apt-get upgrade  -y
   sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

then get chrome, the easy way is
  wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

   sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

create user
  useradd -m chromeuser

run chrome
  sudo -u chromeuser google-chrome

then desktop shortcut
  leafpad chrome.desktop and copy-paste

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Chrome

Exec=sh -c "sudo -u chromeuser google-chrome"

OverTheWire[.com] Natas Walkthrough - JUST HINT, NO SPOILERS

game portal: http://overthewire.org/wargames/natas/ PASSWORDS for each level are stored in /etc/natas_webpass/natasX I made this walkthrough for people like me, i needed some help, but didnt want the spoiler, so here i will give you all the information needed to pass each level, yet not the solution. For levels needed custom web request i made a different post for powershell and javascript  with how-to's, since is a piece of learning for itself, and also for those of us that play at work and have only powershell at their hands. Although its not a complete spoiler there, its quite most of the solution so try yourself 1st. Natas The Natas game is from basic to advances web hacking. Every few levels is about whole new exploitation (with some harder ones doing comeback later), so a lot of learning. If you're new, you're the reason i am writing so much even for the 1st level, just please google EVERY topic you see, since in the following levels i assume you know the ...

Asp.Net Ending Response options, Response.End() vs CompleteRequest()

this blog is for any1 who get the ThreadAbortException when caling Response.End(), and then tried the other options such as HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest() and found out that there was no replacement. i'll start with the bottom line: if you want to stop right now your response and send it as is you dont have any other option other than Response.End(), period and it's the right thing to throw that EX in that case. the answer is its because there is the "HTTP pipeline" and the "Asp.Net pipeline", and CompleteRequest() cuts the HTTP pipeline but not the Asp.Net one so everything that is from handlers forwars (including all page events) continues but your part, the asp one, stays in your hands so that no information will be lost, so ur suppose to manage your code currectly, since information lost is really a bad thing, although in most cases we use Response.End() we know what we are losing and we want it. see this short article ab...
