                                                Managing Kali Linux services

In previous post we looked in files command and now lets move forward and check few services and will get to know  how its managed in Kali Linux.Most of these services are pre-installed such as SSH,HTTP and MYSQL etc.

If its not tinkered most of services will start at boot time which will lead to kali Linux ports open by default. It can be avoided for security reasons by doing changes in config. Lets learn commands how to enable or disable this services so that you can get an overview which will help in managing other services and yes man page is always helpful this how most of us nerd learn.

Let’s fire up some services.
