Was having huge problems with the terminal in kali, i couldnt change the font at all. Text was missing on the screen.
Turns out it was installed “zsh-syntax-highlighting”, so to fix the problem i just un-installed it;
sudo apt remove zsh-syntax-highlighting
Was working my way through the exercises on hackthebox.com and every FFUF scan was saying the file size as 0.
Turns out it was Bitdefender’ “Online Threat Protection” ->”Network threat protection”.
This blocks the filesize of FFUF results so the will come out as 0 if you are connected using VirtualBox.
ParrotOS is another nice Security based Debian Linux Distro i found the other week but if your a windows user the placement of the “minimise and maximise” windows buttons is very frustating as there on the left side.
Open the menu and select “Control Center”. Then from the “Look and feel” section select “MATE Tweak” and then from the left side pick “Windows”.
Change the “Window control placement” from left to right.
Parrot Security (ParrotOS, Parrot) is a Free and Open source GNU/Linux distribution based on Debian Stable designed for security experts, developers and privacy aware people.
It includes a full portable arsenal for IT security and digital forensics operations. It also includes everything you need to develop your own programs or protect your privacy while surfing the net.
Parrot is available in three main editions, Security, Home and Architect Edition, even as Virtual Machine (Virtual Box, Parallels and VMware), on Raspberry Pi and also on Docker.
From version 5.0 LTS, support for ARM platforms (arm64 and armhf) is back, and some images are also available for boards like Raspberry Pi.
The operating system ships by default with MATE Desktop Environment, but it is possible to install others DEs.

Huge thanks to the kalitut.com for this solution, i had no idea how to fix it.
The excellent network chuck on youtube made a video the other day about making your own search engine with searxng so i thought id put the steps involved on doing in locally in Linux.
Update our linux installation
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
install docker;
sudo apt install docker.io
install docker compose tool:
sudo apt install docker-compose
navigate to dir where you want to keep searxng, in this example well put it in “/usr/local/”
cd /usr/local
download searxng;
git clone https://github.com/searxng/searxng-docker.git
cd searxng-docker
create secret key;
sudo sed -i "s|ultrasecretkey|$(openssl rand -hex 32)|g" searxng/settings.yml
start up docker containers
sudo docker-compose up
point your browser to;
localhost:8080
