You may have already heard that Kali 2018.1 has been released some days ago, this release has brought a number of patches, bug fixes and enhancements.

The installation process is similar to that of installing Kali 2017, in fact the whole system looks and can be used exactly the same as Kali 2017, as for the tools we use in this course, there hasn't been any major changes to any of them, so everything that is shown here still works, if you face any issues then please add it in the comment section and we'll help you solve it.
The only thing that stopped working (you might have already faced it) is apt-get, this is because the pgp key for Kali's repo has expired, to fix this either install Kali 2018.1 (lecture 4), or just run the following command:
wget -q -O - https://archive.kali.org/archive-key.asc | apt-key add
apt-get update

How to enable whatsapp payments option|| step by step guide.

Here’s how you can invite your friends to WhatsApp’s UPI payment feature.(HT Photo)
Facebook-owned WhatsApp earlier this week started testing peer-to-peer payment service in India. Unlike Hike Wallet and Paytm Wallet, WhatsApp lets you send and receive money via the Unified Payment Interface (UPI) platform.
Only a small group of users in India have the payment feature enabled on their WhatsApp app right now. The company says it will be rolling it out to the general public in the coming weeks. But if you don’t wish to wait that longer, there is a workaround to speed up the process.
Much like the way WhatsApp rolled out the voice calling feature to users, the payment feature can also be distributed by people who already have the invitation. If you have a friend who already has the UPI feature enabled on their phone, you can ask them to seed the feature to you.
Here’s the step-by-step guide on what they have to do to enable WhatsApp UPI feature on your phone:
1. Users who already have the feature need to go to their friend’s profile on WhatsApp.

2. Once there, they simply need to tap the attachment (paper clip-shaped) button.

3. This will prompt them to see the payment option. They need to tap the payment option.

4. This will give them an error, saying that their friend doesn’t have WhatsApp UPI feature just yet. But in reality, they have just enabled the WhatsApp UPI feature for their friend.

5. Now, you can go to the settings section within the app where you will see the payment option yourself.

6. You can now invite your friends in a similar fashion.
Note that WhatsApp hasn’t officially rolled out the feature for everyone yet. But considering that it has already made its way to the recent beta versions for both iOS and Android, the feature is most likely to be announced very soon.
Analysts say WhatsApp enabling UPI feature could be the biggest boost to the digital payment landscape in India. Ahead of WhatsApp’s payment service, the popular digital wallet platform Paytm introduced a messaging service on its platform. Called Paytm Inbox, the messaging service is similar to WhatsApp’s and also lets users send and receive money.
Apart from Paytm, Hike and Truecaller have also introduced peer-to-peer money sharing feature on their platforms. Google late last year joined the mobile commerce segment with Google Tez, which also lets you make and request payments vis-a-vis friends. Google in December last year revealed the platform had gone past 140 million transactions, and has over 12 million monthly active users.
WhatsApp, however, has an upper hand over the competition considering the massive user base in the country. The platform has more than 200 million users in India, one of its biggest markets in the world.
The peer-to-peer payment service comes shortly after WhatsApp launched a dedicated application for business users in the country. Called WhatsApp Business, the application makes it easier for businesses to connect with customers and vice versa.

Now send money to your friends via whatsapp

WhatsApp has over 1.5 billion monthly active users, who exchange 60 billion messages on a single day.
WhatsApp currently has over 200 million monthly active users in India and for them, the company has launched a new payment feature that will allow users send money to other WhatsApp users. excluding merchants accounts. The company has been planning this service from long back and currently in Beta mode and will be available to the public later on.
This feature is available live in Beta mode with support of many Indian banks displayed in the WhatsApp user interface.
To use this payment feature, Beta users must configure the feature by first verifying their mobile number via SMS and selecting bank then they get an option to send a payment in the main WhatsApp interface.
With 200 million monthly active users, India is WhatsApp's largest market which gives more reasons to the company to announce the feature to the public soon.

Facebook-owned messaging service WhatsApp is testing a new payments feature in India that aims to allow people to send money to their friends on the app, the media reported.
The feature is currently in beta, but has not been publicly announced because it is not widely available at this time, TechCrunchreported late on Thursday citing sources familiar with the company's plans.
When it is launched, the new WhatsApp payments feature could give popular digital wallet platform Paytm, and other messaging services that already support payments, including the recently launched Tez from Google a tough competition.
The payments feature would take advantage of UPI (Unified Payments Interface) and include support by a number of banks, including the State Bank of IndiaICICI BankHDFC Bank, and Axis Bank, the report said.
Beta testers have now found their WhatsApp interface displaying a large list of supported banks and they can see a payments feature appear in their WhatsApp Settings menu.
In order to configure the feature, users must first verify their phone number via SMS and then choose a bank.
After the completion of the configuration, the option to send a payment becomes available.
WhatsApp currently has over 200 million monthly active users in India.
To help businesses communicate better with their customers in India, WhatsApp last month officially rolled out "WhatsApp Business" -- a free-to-download Android app for small businesses -- in the country.

Facebook's password Stealing Apps Found on Android Play Store !

Malicious apps always somehow manage to make their ways into Google app store.
Security researchers have now discovered a new piece of malware, dubbed GhostTeam, in at least 56 applications on Google Play Store that is designed to steal Facebook login credentials and aggressively display pop-up advertisements to users.
Discovered independently by two cybersecurity firms, Trend Micro and Avast, the malicious apps disguise as various utility (such as the flashlight, QR code scanner, and compass), performance-boosting (like file-transfer and cleaner), entertainment, lifestyle and video downloader apps.
Like most malware apps, these Android apps themselves don’t contain any malicious code, which is why they managed to end up on Google's official Play Store.
Once installed, it first confirms if the device is not an emulator or a virtual environment and then accordingly downloads the malware payload, which prompts the victim to approve device administrator permissions to gain persistence on the device.

"The downloader app collects information about the device, such as unique device ID, location, language and display parameters," Avast said. "The device’s location is obtained from the IP address that is used when contacting online services that offer geolocation information for IPs."
-->How Android Malware Steals Your Facebook Account Password :
As soon as users open their Facebook app, the malware immediately prompts them to re-verify their account by logging into Facebook. Instead of exploiting any system or application vulnerabilities, the malware uses a classic phishing scheme in order to get the job done.
These fake apps simply launch a WebView component with Facebook look-alike login page and ask users to log-in. Apparently, WebView code steals the victim's Facebook username and password and sends them to a remote hacker-controlled server.
"This is most likely due to developers using embedded web browsers (WebView, WebChromeClient) in their apps, instead of opening the webpage in a browser," Avast said.
Trend Micro researchers warn that these stolen Facebook credentials can later be repurposed to deliver "far more damaging malware" or "amass a zombie social media army" to spread fake news or generate cryptocurrency-mining malware.
Stolen Facebook accounts can also expose "a wealth of other financial and personally identifiable information," which can then be sold in the underground markets.
Security firms believe that GhostTeam has been developed and uploaded to the Play Store by a Vietnamese developer due to considerable use of Vietnamese language in the code.
Researcher Said,the most users affected by the GhostTeam malware reportedly resides in India, Indonesia, Brazil, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
Besides stealing Facebook credentials, the GhostTeam malware also displays pop up adverts aggressively by always keeping the infected device awake by showing unwanted ads in the background.
