Procedure to enable wireless LAN adapter in vmware!

I have went to find the way in which wlan in Kali Linux could be made listed my airmon-ng command.

Most of the videos and posts suggested me that it is necessary to have another wi-fi adapter to have connected to wifi network. But this is not necessary.

The procedure to do this is as follows:

1. Download this package in Virtual Machine(Kali linux) " http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2010-06-26-p.tar.bz2"

2.Unzip this package in terminal

i.e navigate to place where you have downloaded this file , say desktop then type : cd Desktop

for unzip type : tar -jxvf compat-wireless-2010-06-26-p.tar.bz2

3. Navigate into the uncompressed directory and type:

i."make unload"  (only words within the quotes are the commands)
ii."make load"


Done!  now airmon-ng  should have the list of the required devices.

Event Sourcing with CQRS.

  The way event sourcing works with CQRS is to have  part of the application that models updates as writes to an event log or Kafka topic . This is paired with an event handler that subscribes to the Kafka topic, transforms the event (as required) and writes the materialized view to a read store.

GraphQL microservices (GQLMS)

I'm curios of GraphQL !     -  GraphQL is an open-source data query and manipulation language for APIs, and a runtime for fulfilling queries with existing data. GraphQL was developed internally by Facebook in 2012 before being publicly released in 2015. It should be solving a problem in querying data !     -GraphQL lets you ask for what you want in a single query, saving bandwidth and reducing waterfall requests. It also enables clients to request their own unique data specifications. A case study ?!    -https://netflixtechblog.com/beyond-rest-1b76f7c20ef6 So, This is just another database technoloy ?  -  No. GraphQL is often confused with being a database technology. This is a misconception, GraphQL is a   query language   for APIs - not databases. In that sense it’s database agnostic and can be used with any kind of database or even no database at all.
