hello guys. I am new to Null Byte. I was wondering if Linux is necessary for using all these tools. I read fair bit of articles and in each of those Linux was used.
I am active Windows user, though I know fair bit of linux.
Thanks

Any serious hacker will use Linux; there is just no debate about it. Most, if not, all tools are created specifically for Linux.
If you want success, go with Linux.

Welcome to Null Byte!
To answer your question, I have an article titled "Why Every Hacker Should Know and Use Linux". Hope that helps. In addition, for those new to Linux, I have a series here titled "Linux Basics for the Aspiring Hacker".

thnx OTW for your answer. I was wondering whether Ubuntu or Kali Linux would do the job. Can you point me to the right direction. thnx
