    Trying to install GNS3 to Rocky 9 system - have you been able to successfully do so?

    Unfortunately, the documentation seems to indicate that the application is just for Ubuntu and Arch installations. Nothing seems to be available on the Github page either.

    Issue with Remmina: after an RDP session is concluded, physical logins to the server shows only a black screen and mouse.

    (I posted this question in the Remmina Reddit page - but since my account is in "Pending" state for the past few days, I figured on mentioning this issue here.) I am using a Debian 12 laptop, remotely connecting via Tailscale to the Rocky 9 desktop system. While I am able to remotely access...

    Looking for an application that will allow me to use my desk/laptop as a remote viewer from my Android phone.

    Bit of context (as I've had the optics of the request explained to me): I'm suspecting my tenant-roommate of accessing my room while I am working (or otherwise out of my house). Unfortunately, while I'm fairly certain of my suspicions - I've no proof of it. With that said, does anyone know of...

    Using Debian Bookworm, and tried adding Kali Repositories - much chaos and work (with a little bit of confusion and hilarity) ensued...

    Currently using Debian 12 on my laptop, and thought to learn about some of the Pentesting tools in Kali Linux (listed here). As some of the tools weren't in the Debian repos, I got the bright idea to add the Kali repositories to my /etc/apt/sources.list. My logic was that as Kali is a Debian...

    Which router would you recommend to accommodate Linux?

    I purchased a Netgear Nighthawk R7350 (AC2400) router a year ago, as it stated on the box that it supported Linux. I figured to try it out once I felt comfortable enough to take the plunge - which I started a few months ago. Unfortunately, even though it is stated to support Linux on the box...

    Questions about rootkits with chkrootkit and rkhunter

    I'm working with Debian version 12, and trying out both applications above - but they don't seem to be very helpful in narrowing down where they are seeing their particular alerts. Because both are giving different locations for alerts, I am thinking that they are pulling up false positives...

    Unable to register to the forums.kali.org site - can anyone assist (or provide the admin address so that I can notify them of what I am experiencing)?

    I am trying to get out of my Ubuntu/Rocky/PopOS comfort zones, and learn some pentesting skills - so I figured on working with Kali. To that end, I figured on lurking on the Kali forums to gain some additional insights (while studying on the tools that is included with the image). However, I...
