I made this video to answer a very common question that I get: What is the best operating system for hacking? is it Kali Linux? Parrot OS? and do real hackers use these operating systems?

Zaid Al-Quraishi is an ethical hacker, computer scientist, and founder of zSecurity. He studied CS at UCD, graduating May 2016.

Zaid has a strong background and experience in ethical hacking, starting with tutorials in 2009 in an ethical hacking community, iSecur1ty. He also worked as a penetration tester (pentester) for this company.

In 2013 he started teaching his first course online in Arabic which received extremely positive feedback. This motivated him to create an English version of the course. The English course became the most popular and top paid course on Udemy for almost a year, which further motivated Zaid to design and teach more courses on ethical hacking.

He now offers a number of courses on ethical hacking and more than 800,000 students on Udemy and other teaching platforms such as StackSocial, StackSkills and zSecurity.

Zaid says: "I just love hacking and breaking the rules but don't get me wrong, I am an ethical hacker!"

    Greetings,
    Sir, I have been enrolled in one of your courses in third party service provider (Udemdy) and have been trying to import the Kali Linux in Virtubal Box but everytime I do , It’s shows me the following error .

    https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/705915555647062027/718006492292448276/2020-06-04_07-38-02-e8f5ba57b90383da4c1628d0cd5a42b7.png

    If you do not wish to click the link, then I will just type it here.

    Failure to import appliance : F/virtualpro/kali

    Result code- E_Invalid DARG ( 0x80070057)

    I have tried most of the troubleshooting steps which are in google but none is helping me in this case, is it something wrong with the software which is provided here?

    Hi Zaid,
    I just installed your customized kali linux in dual boot with windows. But it does not boot properly and also it does not have any linux swap partition. So can you please give the instructions on how to install customized kali.
