Issue 225 (July 2017) - Stop hackers - Shields up!

Click here to get the DVD via BitTorrent

Come skip with us through the Linux “threatscape”, the guiding light for the 2017 edition of the Linux Format Learn to Hack guide. By looking at the methods and techniques hackers use to attack systems, we can learn how to plug holes and protect those systems. Learn Kali, scan ports, hack Wi-Fi, sniff packets and brush up on the Metasploitable framework.
But it can’t be all fear and loathing in Linux, so in this month’s Roundup we have a look at the animation tools that are fit for the big screen, getting Linux up and running on a Mac system, and we at least relax for a bit by running the full-fat version of Minecraft on the Raspberry Pi.
