Kali Linux Get in Touch! The reverse is not true, however. Refer to the sidebar for more detailed information. If you are planning to install Kali on an embedded device, smartphone, Chromebook, access point, or any other device with an ARM processor, you must use the Linux armel or armhf images. Any bit kernel can run on a bit CPU, but since Apple controls the hardware and the software, it is unlikely you will find this configuration.
If it contains the lm attribute, then your CPU is a bit; otherwise, it is a bit. The following command line will tell you what kind of CPU you have:.
Now that you know whether you need a bit or bit image, there is only one step left: selecting the kind of image. The default Kali Linux image and the Kali Linux Light variant are both live ISOs that can be used to run the live system or to start the installation process. They differ only by the set of pre-installed applications. The default image comes with the GNOME desktop and a large collection of packages found to be appropriate for most penetration testers, while the light image comes with the XFCE desktop, which is much less demanding on system resources , and a limited collection of packages, allowing you to choose only the apps you need.
The remaining images use alternate desktop environments but come with the same large package collection as the main image.
Once you have downloaded your image, you will use this checksum to verify that the downloaded image matches the one the Kali development team put online see next section. Security professionals must verify the integrity of their tools to not only protect their data and networks but also those of their clients. While the Kali download page is TLS-protected, the actual download link points to an unencrypted URL that offers no protection against potential man-in-the-middle attacks.
The fact that Kali relies on a network of external mirrors to distribute the image means that you should not blindly trust what you download. The mirror you were directed to may have been compromised, or you might be the victim of an attack yourself. To alleviate this, the Kali project always provides checksums of the images it distributes.
But to make such a check effective, you must be sure that the checksum you grabbed is effectively the checksum published by the Kali Linux developers. You have different ways to ascertain this. When you retrieve the checksum from the TLS-protected download webpage, its origin is indirectly guaranteed by the X. Now you should generate the checksum of your downloaded image and ensure that it matches what you recorded from the Kali website:.
If your generated checksum matches the one on the Kali Linux download page, you have the correct file. If the checksums differ, there is a problem, although this does not indicate a compromise or an attack; downloads occasionally get corrupted as they traverse the Internet. Try your download again, from another official Kali mirror, if possible see cdimage. There are many examples of badly managed certificate authorities that issued rogue certificates, which ended up being misused. For cases like this, we also provide a GnuPG key that we use to sign the checksums of the images we provide.
Anyone can generate any key with any identity, but you will only trust that key if it has been signed by another key that you already trust. When you sign a key, you certify that you met the holder of the key and that you know that the associated identity is correct. And you define the initial set of keys that you trust, which obviously includes your own key. Now that we have retrieved the key, we can use it to verify the checksums of the distributed images.
Otherwise, there is a problem. You should review whether you downloaded the files from a legitimate Kali Linux mirror. Note that you can use the following command line to verify that the downloaded file has the same checksum that is listed in SHASUMS , provided that the downloaded ISO file is in the same directory:.
It cannot be trusted and should not be used. Unless you want to run Kali Linux in a virtual machine, the ISO image is of limited use in and of itself.
Try it out! Always double-check the target disk before launching the operation as a single mistake will likely cause complete data loss and possibly damage your setup beyond repair. Verify that the letter of the device selected corresponds with that assigned to the USB key. Once you are certain that you have selected the correct drive, click the Write button and confirm that you want to overwrite the contents of the USB key as shown in Figure 2.
Once the copy is completed, safely eject the USB drive from the Windows system. The GNOME desktop environment, which is installed by default in many Linux distributions, comes with a Disks utility in the gnome-disk-utility package, which is already installed in the stock Kali image. That program shows a list of disks, which refreshes dynamically when you plug or unplug a disk.
When you select your USB key in the list of disks, detailed information will appear and will help you confirm that you selected the correct disk. Note that you can find its device name in the title bar as shown in Figure 2. Click on the menu button and select in the displayed pop-up menu.
Select the ISO image that you formerly downloaded and click on as shown in Figure 2. Enjoy a cup of coffee while it finishes copying the image on the USB key Figure 2. Even though the graphical process is fairly straightforward, the operation is just as easy for command line users.
When you insert your USB key, the Linux kernel will detect it and assign it a name, which is printed in the kernel logs.
You can find its name by inspecting the logs returned by dmesg. Note that you need root permissions for this operation to succeed and you should also ensure that the USB key is unused. That is, you should make sure that none of its partitions are mounted.
The command also assumes that it is run while in the directory hosting the ISO image, otherwise the full path will need to be provided. It does not show any progress information so you must be patient while it is doing its work It is not unusual for the command to take more than half an hour!
The statistics shown above are displayed only when the command has completed. To identify the device name of the USB key, run diskutil list to list the disks available on your system. Next, insert your USB key and run the diskutil list command again.
The second output should list an additional disk. You can determine the device name of the USB key by comparing the output from both commands. Now proceed to execute the dd command. This time, we add a supplementary parameter — bs for block size.
Increase the number of processors to two 2 to enhance performance. Finally, navigate to Storage settings. Click the disk icon to search for the image. Once finished, close the Settings window. After you booted the installation menu by clicking Start , a new VM VirtualBox window appears with the Kali welcome screen. Select the Graphical install option and go through the following installation steps for setting up Kali Linux in VirtualBox.
Select a language. Choose the default language for the system which will also be the language used during the installation process. Select your location. Configure the keyboard. Decide which keymap to use.
In most cases, the best option is to select American English. Configure the network. First, enter a hostname for the system and click Continue. Next, create a domain name the part of your internet address after your hostname. Domain names usually end in. Make sure you use the same domain name on all your machines. Set up users and passwords.
Create a strong root password for the system administrator account. Partition disks. Select how you would like to partition the hard disk. Unless you have a good reason to do it manually, go for the Guided —use entire disk option.
Then, select which disk you want to use for partitioning. As you created a single virtual hard disk in Step 3: Adjust VM Settings , you do not have to worry about data loss. Select the only available option — SCSI3 0,0,0 sda — Next, select the scheme for partitioning. If you are a new user, go for All files in one partition. The wizard gives you an overview of the configured partitions. Continue by navigating to Finish partitioning and write changes to disk.
Click Continue and confirm with Yes. The wizard starts installing Kali. While the installation bar loads, additional configuration settings appear.
Configure the package manager. Select whether you want to use a network mirror and click Continue.
