How to remove orphaned packages on CentOS Linux

Objective

The objective is to remove all orphaned packages from CentOS Linux. By orphaned packages we mean all packages which no longer serve a purpose of package dependencies.

For example, package A is depended on package B, thus, in order to install package A the package B must also be installed. Once the package A is removed the package B might still be installed, hence the package B is now orphaned package.

Learn Burp Suite on Kali Linux: Part 3

brute force test penetration web kali burp

Introduction

In this third part of the Burp Suite series, you will learn how to actually collect proxied traffic with Burp Suite and use it launch and actual brute force attack. It will run somewhat parallel to our guide on Testing WordPress Logins with Hydra. In this case, though, you will use Burp Suite to gather information on WordPress.

The purpose of this guide is to illustrate how the information gathered by Burp Suite’s proxy can be used to conduct a penetration test. Do Not use this on any machines or networks that you do not own.

For this guide, you will also need Hydra installed. It’s not going to go into depth on how to use Hydra, you can check out our Hydra SSH guide for that. Kali Linux already has Hydra installed by default, so if you’re using Kali, don’t worry. Otherwise, Hydra should be in your distro’s repositories.
