Dude, we have such a topic nearly every week. I know reddit's search functions sucks, but you can just use Google. Or you simply read what the developer of Kali say about their own OS.
Generally you'll find on professional pentests you won't really need GPU horsepower beyond your laptop/PC. My approach with the client is usually to agree that at some point in the near future I would have cracked the hash I've found, so to increase the value of the pentest and to get better value for money, let's just agree I would have gotten a valid password. I then have the client set up a user account with representative access and rights to those of the account I have the hash for, and move on with the pentest.
Also, make sure someone else is paying for the EC2's you're using! Check these out:
https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/p3/
To give you an idea of cost, a close friend of mine who heads up the new Red Team at a software vendor who may or may not have been at the centre of a supply chain attack in December, just spent $18,000 on a P3 instance cracking hashes. Again, make sure someone else is paying for it!
Probably because the 5/9 hack happened in 2015, and the timeline of the show now is still only about July/August of the same year.
according to https://www.kali.org/kali-linux-releases/, release of Kali 2.0 was 11th August, 2015, so we haven't caught up to that yet in the show. (depending on Elliot's blackout timelines, but the FBI conference call was on July 4th, so I'm guessing late July to early August. Haven't seen s03e02 yet to know if they give a date somewhere).
So, that device is a router, my man. What you need is a NIC that supports injection and monitor mode. Specifically, get an Alfa external which is basically one of only two out there that are made for what you are trying to do and aren't Chinese pieces of generic shit that will have driver issues and/or chip failure sooner rather than later.
I am hesitant to directly link to any shopping page like Amazon, but here: https://www.amazon.com/Alfa-AWUS036NHA-Wireless-USB-Adaptor/dp/B004Y6MIXS
The only other one worth buying is also Alfa, but I believe it's a USB-C "stick" variety. I own the one I linked and with the pigtail you can drop another $20 and get a raging ass omni high gain antenna for it.
It's $35 and will work without a hiccup if you RTFM.
Unfortunately a lot of the repeat questions are not Kali specific but general Linux user questions - there is a sub for that, /r/linux4noobs. The people there are very helpful. But keep in mind one of the oldest Linux addages "free as in beer", meaning you are expected to put in some effort - i.e. read the docs, Google stuff.
When taking on a specialized distro like Kali, one should already be comfortable as a Linux user and on the CLI.
From the Kali Documentation Introduction:
>Kali Linux is specifically tailored to the needs of penetration testing professionals, and therefore all documentation on this site assumes prior knowledge of, and familiarity with, the Linux operating system in general. Please see Should I Use Kali Linux? for more details on what makes Kali unique.
So when someone asks 'wtf are drivers'' we know immediately you didn't do any work for your beer. You didn't even read the introduction to the documentation. So why should anyone here waste their time.
When we tell people this is not a beginner's distro, a lot of people push back that advice and either want to run before they can walk or want to be billy badass because they are using the OS seen on Mr. Roboto - the first is setting yourself up for failure and the second doesn't impress anyone here.
Before you post a question, ask yourself - is this something specific to the pentesting/hacking suite of tools, Kali desktop itself, or am I asking a general Linux question? If you do not know the answer to that, you probably didn't Google first.
One last little bit of advice, sugar, not vinegar.
Kali uses ZSH as shell and i think Ubuntu uses bash. So if you want the same functionality you have to switch to ZSH and install a theme like ohmyzsh, powerlevel10k or copy over the theme from kali linux.
Can you explain why you are trying Kali this way? The Store description says this version has no tools or graphical interface, which means you need Linux experience and a lot of extra effort to get it working.
The standard way to get Kali quickly running on Windows is as a Virtual Machine and there are directions in the docs.
Don't bother, it's just a sample chapter.
For anyone interested, here's an Amazon link to the full book (surprise, it's not free): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mastering-Linux-Advanced-Penetration-Testing-ebook/dp/B06ZXT1DPG/
I'm sure it does as the installation requirements are minimal. For speed, start with throwing a SSD into it if you haven't already and then look at memory.
If you're installing it as your main OS, not a good idea. Kali was meant to just be temporarily used for its tools like a live USB or a VM. If you want a Linux pentesting distro with the same tools (and I think maybe more) try ParrotOS. https://www.parrotsec.org/download-security.php
That new Pi has hardware limitations (RAM) that makes it questionable to install the minimal Kali. The page you linked is very descriptive about what images work on which devices, and doesn't include the new Pi. Based on those two observations, I'm guessing Kali on the Zero 2 W is a "probably not."
OffSec's newer VM images make it simple to get a Kali running on most machines. Considering the light version of Kali that might be possible on that Pi, you can likely run a similar VM on your current PC/laptop (if available).
This *might* be recoverable, since you appear to at least have a working package manager, if you can get online (or add your installation media to /etc/sources.list), you could install the metapackage of your choice:
https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/metapackages/
That's not really beginner stuff, though, you might just be better off re--installing from scratch. If you aren't in a hurry, it might prove to be an educational journey (and who cares if you screw it up?)
Before you get the responses on running kali on bare metal, I'm going to make a guess that your issue may be with xfce.
How are you updating the xorg config file? nvidia-xconfig? When you reboot to the cli, have you tried startx or startxfce4? Which guides/tutorials have you followed? https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/install-nvidia-drivers-on-kali-linux/ seems pretty straight forward.
For me, I run kali in a vm, then just use my host OS to do any hashcat/john operations. Seems to work out fine.
Read the directions. You're not supposed to do GPU cracking in a VM.
>Do not attempt this in a VM. It is possible in theory, however this likely will not work and we do not recommend that users attempt this.
Go to https://www.kali.org/downloads/ Then scroll down a little bit. Below Kali Linux Xfce 64 Bit you have "Kali Linux 64 bit VMware VM" If you click on that you will be redirected to https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-vm-vmware-virtualbox-hyperv-image-download/ where you can choose between Kali-Linux VMware 64-Bit and Kali-Linux VMware 32-Bit Images.
It's barebones on purpose. Because lots of chromebooks only have 16GB hard drives.
Try: apt-get install kali-linux-full
But beware, its 9GB in size. If that isn't enough, try apt-get install kali-linux-all.
That will be 15GB.
More info here: http://puttingthingswheretheydontbelong.blogspot.com/2014/01/install-kali-on-chromebook-using-crouton.html
and here:
Due to the size of the full Kali iso, only the bare necessities are installed on the Raspberry Pi image. You have install a metapackage to get any tools on it. Here's the instructions: https://www.kali.org/news/kali-linux-metapackages/
The one i used / have been using is CCNA Cisco Certified Network Associate Study Guide. It covers the fundamentals and goes deep into important concepts. Otherwise you can also use Cybrary. (https://www.cybrary.it/). This is also an excellent resource for beginners. I would start of with Cybrary because the courses are free. you can go through the networking one. Once you have done that, read the book while learning terminal. this will give you the necessary fundamentals to get into kali linux. Its gonna be a rough road but once you master basic concepts, the rest just builds on them.
I use Clonezilla to create backups of my systems. Backing-up/restoring takes about an hour each for a full 256GB SSD drive to/from a 2TB HDD drive.
Another option (only to backup files) would be the GNOME app deja-dup which can be installed from the Kali repo.
apt install deja-dup

IIRC the VM client makes a separate subnet, something like 10.x.x.x.
It does looks like you can configure the VM to pull an IP from DHCP: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#network_nat_service
In this scenario i felt bridged would be easier :)
EDIT: shit, i never noticed that windows was in a VM aswell. In that case they should be on the same subnet. Maybe you're scanning the wrong set.
Don't "install" it.
Download the already made version for your VM software from the Kali page and use that. Here's the link to it.
It's specifically built to avoid these sort of problems.
If you want to practice with Linux installs, use a different distro as Kali doesn't always play nice.
I am no expert, I use kali on pc only, but there is a guide for standard android devices here: https://www.kali.org/docs/nethunter/installing-nethunter/ Make sure to be careful so you don't wipe your device, and good luck! Note: In the past when I needed root, I have had success w/KingoRoot, but the kali guide has it's own recommendations as well.
I wouldn’t run the pip install commands via sudo. Also, impacket has been updated to python3, the package is python3-impacket.
That said, kali also has documentation for using python2 - https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/using-eol-python-versions/ this is also a better way to deal with python2 scripts because you don’t poison your path, and end up potentially installing things globally that are incompatible.
this is official kali documentation on how to install nvidia driver in kali
https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/install-nvidia-drivers-on-kali-linux/
https://www.kali.org/get-kali/#kali-virtual-machines
I'm currently downloading the one on the right side "virtual box" - does this contain everything I need?
Okay I understand now. You have 32gb on your usb right? Now when you are in your windows, use diskpart to format the usb cleanly.
After that go to this https://www.kali.org/get-kali/#kali-live website and download kali linux live (64 bit) and then flash it in the usb using rufus. Now when doing so be sure to add persistence to the drive by increasing the persistence disk size. It's an option there in the rufus dialog box.
Once it completes, plug it in and while booting up enter the bios and change the boot order to your usb first. Then it'll reboot into a kali OS menu where you'll see an option called "kali live persistence" Just above "persistence with encrypted disk"
Select that option and let it set up the kernel and the networking modules as well. After it's done you'll should be able to log in.
https://youtu.be/Jjx-sra85RE - for reference.
Ps- if it still doesn't work do tell me.
Yeah, of course you can install it and do whatever you want, the thing is if you should and if it’s ok or encouraged to do so for general purposes, keep reading. And, i’m letting you know that every single piece of software that runs on Kali is compatible with any other distribution, if you have an old machine where virtualization is not an option, you’ll probably want something more reliable that gives you full control over that machine and then do your own. Let’s don’t act like if kali was something super special.
Is this WSL, VirtualBox, VMware...?
I saw a similar issue upgrading Kali 2020.4 on the default kali-rolling
repo (VirtualBox) for a tool addition. A later clean install of 2020.4 (VMware) that was moved to the kali-last-snapshot
repo still had a couple issues seen earlier when upgrading to 2021.1 after release, but a few days before official announcement. That included the toolbar icon for default terminal failing (with similar error - default terminal not found), and the icon for file manager going to Catfish instead of Thunar.
On the later issue, all problems were corrected with:
sudo apt update && sudo apt autoremove
then another round of:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
It depends.
If you want all the power from your computer, dual booting can be better than a virtual machine.
For many purposes a VM will do fine.
It's a matter of preference and/or needs. Both have their pros and cons.
Can your instance reach the internet? If there might be an issue with the repositories specified you can try adding the standard repositories or reset the kali instance, see link.
https://www.kali.org/news/kali-linux-in-the-windows-app-store/
So i need a bit more info:
When you say you allocated disk space, does that mean you completed the kali install? or did the install fail?
Did you shrink your drive properly using gparted / diskpart?
Did you install grub properly?
When you install any GNU/Linux distro on top of windows, you will replace the MBR with the grub bootloader. It shouldn't cause any problems, but you'll notice you're choosing which os to boot via the grub menu vs the normal MBR boot menu.
Official guide to dual booting kali with windows:http://docs.kali.org/installation/dual-boot-kali-with-windows
Side note: If your looking for a new daily driver OS i would suggest debian. Kali is too bloated to use daily IMO.
With Kali you are more vulnerable if "they" get ahold to your computer, unless you encrypt it. Network wise you can install the same tools on the same browser in Kali, https://tails.boum.org/about/index.en.html#index3h1 . As far as cryptography tools you could probably install those on Kali as they are both based of Debian. Theoretically you could install Kali tools on tails because they are both Debian but it is a live os.
Hey since you're new, if you're really into this I'm gonna throw you a bone. There's quite a few steps you're gonna want to take before you load up Kali for real.
Okay forget the number marks. I wrote them in correctly and Reddit's formatting broke them but you get it right? Basically your goal is to understand Linux first.
Oh also I recommend the linux4noobs subreddit.
I don’t generally mess around with prompts. I’ve done it before, but it’s annoying.
Easy way:
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
Then go here and find what you like.
Edit the .zshrc file, scroll down to the line that says theme or something, and change the value.
Or you can fuck around endlessly with the prompt itself.
The WSL version got better support to run a Linux Kernel from a Windows Host along with better file system drivers, system calls and hardware support than a hypervisor.
Running a guest OS on a third-party hypervisor might really be messy in term of hardware and drivers support and performance.
I'd say give the WSL version a try, if it covers all your use cases, then I don't see a reason to use the other alternatives.
Have a look at the following Microsoft docs:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/compare-versions
Note: The question and my answer are specifically about running Kali using WSL, not the difference between WSL architecture and third-party hypervisors in general. The latter is a totally different question, and has a very different answer.
Hey, had to do this countless times during my career. My go-to tool is Hirens Boot CD, it has a number of tools for resetting passwords, accessing SAM, adding a new admin user. Essentially download and burn ISO to USB, boot from USB, it will load you into a live boot modded Windows install. It's a real life saver, just used this to recently for a project I was doing for a client to solve same problem you have. Can download here: https://www.hirensbootcd.org/
Give it a shot, have kept this ISO in my go-bag for years. Lots of other useful tools on there too.
Basic things are very well documented in the Kali docs.By the way, if you use an usb stick don't even think about making major updates or big installations, even if the stick is 3.0 it will take ages.
I just recently looked into this. It's not a problem with your internet connection, it's actually because the server from which all the repositories are stored it accessed all over the world and you only get a small portion of that connection. What you can do in this case is switch to a different nework mirrorkali-repo-mirrors . If you switch to a mirror you should be able to get higher connection rates, but I've had trouble with my DNS server and decided that it's not worth all the trouble. Hope you get yours working though👍.
I’m not entirely sure what your question is, but from what I gather, you want to be able to run Kali from a USB?
Here’s a good guide for setting up a Kali Live USB and there are also instructions on how to make it persistent. I did see your mention of Bootcamp so I’m sure you know this already, but just in case, once you have the USB made and ready to go, you should then make sure the Mac is off, plug in the USB, hold Alt(Option) and then continue holding it while starting up the computer. It should then start up with a screen where you can select a disk and if all went well, you should be able to select and start up from that USB.
I hope this helps.
Check that you dont have a kali image mounted on the vm, also just making sure i get this correctly but what do you mean installing kali on a virtual box?
Kali forums has a preinstalled image that you can download and run under the username kali/kali for virtual box only or vmware, just follow the link and read all the different types of downloads
Not OP but the recommendation to verify files is on the Kali downloads page, and should be a standard practice for all Linux distros received from a download (though admittedly rare practice).
The particular concern for Kali images is a malicious replacement could be very dangerous in both professional and personal settings.
If you don't want people to ask stupid questions like how to install, then you have two solutions:
Moderate. Delete them.
Add an easily visible sidebar link to https://www.kali.org/docs/base-images/kali-linux-hard-disk-install/ Or a FAQ with it.
That's it. But as it stands, people making posts complaining about it do nothing but encourage an attitude to not help and consequently a lack of answered questions as resources.
Oh and it eventually devolves into posts like mine. Complaining about the complaining.
Otherwise you just get over it and be happy that there are actually new people coming into your space and asking questions. Instead of driving then away by calling them "posers" and Mr. Robot wannabes.
I misspoke the default included in iso is xfce. This is the page I’m talking about. https://www.kali.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/tasksel_first_0.png
You can try startxfce4 in the terminal and see what happens.
Oof... sounds rough. Did you allocate enough resources to the virtual machine to support Kali?
​
Try to launch the Docker image and see if that works: https://www.kali.org/news/official-kali-linux-docker-images/
​
The container will use all the resources it need w/o you defining anything.
Both the text and GUI installer work great for us from both mini and full isos. Try following https://www.kali.org/tutorials/tracking-fixing-installer-bugs/ to get a better idea of where you're getting stuck at.
This might interest you https://www.kali.org/kali-linux-nethunter/ Altough i dont think you can do it with a galaxy tab 4. I saw a galaxy s2 running Nethunter so you might get more compatability in the future.
>it worth it to just have both on the same usb stick on 2 different partitions?
Yes. Keep both separated.
First, use Ventoy to make bootable your USB, then put both ISO's there simply by copy-pasting. You don't have to worry about anything else. Both can be persistent.
I'm pretty new to Kali too. Cybrary.com is one of the better places I've found to learn. In particular is Ethical Hacking with Kali https://www.cybrary.it/0p3n/ethical-hacking-kali-linux-1-objective/ In general they have a couple of courses on pentesting that touch on tools like beef and owasp ZAP. Hope this helps.
You could use crunch or Hashcat, but if you know that your password isn't on any well-known wordlists then I'm a little confused as to why you wouldn't just do the math on how many permutations a cracking program would have to try before getting to your password. There are well-known formulas which can give you a rough time estimate for brute strength and wordlist attacks, including online tools like https://howsecureismypassword.net/.
Even if it's just a halfway decent leetspeek permutation of a dictionary word, that's likely complex enough to require what boils down to a brute force attack, which you can calculate.
Is there a reason you want to use up this much energy and time to attack something you already believe to be comparatively secure?
I'd look at these 2 links:
http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=b43 http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=broadcom
If you can't get it working, I'd invest the $30 or so for a USB card that's known to work.
Can you get to your boot settings on your bios to try and boot from there other partition? Also if you have a spare computer I'd install gparted (https://gparted.org/) on a flash drive and boot to that to verify you still have two partitions and you didn't overwrite you're entire hard drive.

I use this one, it works for everything out of the box.
If this is what you have, Alfa AC1900 WiFi Adapter Adapter w/4x 5dBi External Dual-Band Antennas, you won’t be really happy with the results. Read the reviews. They come with 5DB antennas. It’s USB 3.0, and may need a powered adapter to run correctly. Anything above 5db antenna (not over 10db) is fine. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZD7Z76/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_jGAbGb6KTPVX0
I have the AWUS1900 and it works good. Not as good as i expected but maybe it could be due to house construction? As far as catching probes yeah it works pretty dang good. About 50-60 networks in a suburban neighborhood. I can pull 1MB/s through two houses when connected to a pi hotspot.
Also works with Kali linux using Aircrack-ng's rtl8814AU driver

I'm more looking at your long term goal of it's to stay anonymous... Don't just use tor what I've stated is far better tactic...
Check this site out read about all vpns and where key disclosure laws don't apply I highly suggest ProtonVPN for that...
check it out
Also there is some really good youtube videos on whonix for setup instructions.
This is a newer model of one that I bought a while ago which supports monitor mode. Worked really well for me and is fairly cheap. If you want other options let me know.
amazon usb wifi dongle search amazon there is so many options
Yup! I'd suggest using a virtual machine, I personally use VirtualBox by Oracle since its free and easy to use. There are countless tutorials on youtube on how to set it up. Most machines can handle kali. Good luck on your cyber-sec adventures!
If the target is a Windows box use the nmap -Pn argument as ping is turned off on Windows systems be default.
Check all of the IP addresses and make sure they are on the same network segment (192.168.*.* etc.).
Also check the VirtualBox Documentation for more virtual networking information.
Note sure what version of VMWare you are running so there may be some jiggling to get it done.
If you are using VMWare Workstation, it's easy!.
If you are using VMWare Player, you need to pause the VM and take a copy of THE ENTIRE FOLDER that the VM is running from as it doesn't have snapshot capabilities.
Or...
Use VirtualBox. It's free, has the same capabilities as VMWare Workstation and I find the networking side of it more friendly too!
I know this is an older post, but I didn't see a workaround posted.
I was attempting to install kali on a broken down laptop in a similar fashion that you were. Laptop's internal hard drive and cdrom were dead and had been removed...
Booting from the Kali live imaged onto a thumb drive (used rufus for imaging), and using an external USB hard drive that i wanted to install kali onto.
Here is the workaround for the cdrom bug. Basically has you mount the flash drive into the cdrom folder to make it "look" like a cd (I had to change the command to use "sda1" instead of "sdb1" in my case):
http://superuser.com/a/962993
This allow the install to proceed. However, the next hurdle I ran into is that it finished the kali install, but FAILS to install grub-pc... and installung LILO also fails... So, the system is not bootable.
I spent the better half of the last 5 hours trying to search for a fix to this, but all of the suggestions I find say to boot the the live usb, chroot the drive then do a grub-install.... But the grub-install command returns that it is an unknown command no matter what I've tried.
Some people suggest that grub and lilo wont install because it doesn’t prompt for what drive to install it to and just attempts to install to the live usb drive, instead of the external usb drive, and fails.
...I'm a noob, so take this with a grain of salt. I think personally I'm going to try to find a replacement dvd drive and omit the live usb thumb drive and try again. However, if you find a solution to the grub issue, let me know.

I think you want to find a excellent wifi speed wifi adapter for Kali Linux. The point is speed.Yep? Maybe it can help you.
You can get 867Mbps Wi-Fi speed on 5GHz or 300Mbps speed on 2.4GHz. It's so good for video chat or watching 4K video streaming online with this speed.
Well, that's not bad that you can click this link to know more in Brostrend Store.
Yeah...I recently bought a SanDisk USB 3.2 with 512GB. It was a bit pricey (about $100 I think), but I wanted a fast, reliable USB thumb drive that I could count on. This one is basically an SSD (I believe it actually IS) in a thumb drive format/size.
See here for the Amazon sale of one, or here for Western Digitals info (+ Datasheet) on it.
Thanks for the info, u/unapologeticjerk... Maybe I'll do this with this flash drive. Undecided yet, since I really don't need to (already having a bare metal install).
Thanks!
None of the replies answered your question on how to use NordVPN on Linux, in fact mine was the only reply which contained an answer to doing so (openvpn), in which case you could go to Nords download section and download an openvpn file of choice.
Again, these are not kali questions, and if you did "plenty of googling" on using nord on linux and cant figure it out perhaps you should open a ticket with them because this is not NordVPN subreddit and nord has nothing to do with Kali or any linux distro
does your laptop not have a wifi adapter? If not I suggest getting this one from amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B002SZEOLG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1 it's pretty cheap and it supports monitor mode and packet injection (last time I checked) (useful for network attacks). As for the ethernet problem, I don't really know how to fix it, the error you showed me makes me think of doing a bios update, but maybe you don't need to. idk if reinstalling kali will help. Did you update recently? did you mess around config files? heck it could also just be a rusty ethernet port if it's an older laptop.
Based off of this link a TP-Link N-150 is Kali compatible and it is selling for $9.99 on amazon.com.
Note that is a nano device, so you would do better to pick up one with an antenna, but it would work.
And if you seriously can't afford a wifi adapter that is kali compatible let me know and I can either send you the one i have cause its just sitting around collecting dust, or I can get you one off of Amazon or DealExtreme.
Coming back to (try to) help for adding snap sources to discover.
By default, snapd is not activated. I just followed these steps:
https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snap-on-kali
in summary:
# apt update
# apt install snapd
#systemctl enable --now snapd apparmor
#snap install hello-world
Installing hello-world seems to force updating something. After, you can launch discover and activate snap as app sources in the configuration menu as for flatpak (by default, it is activated).
​
To validate snap is working, try to search "snap" in applications. If everything is ok, you should find snap store and other stuffs, and the installation button on the right shoud indicate source installation : snap

Good luck guys...
If you want to have the tools installed by default in kali you need the package kali-linux-default. You can install it running this command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y kali-linux-default
You don't even need the ISO.
The Official Site has an OVA (Open Virtual Appliance; a kind of Optimized Virtualized Format) for Virtual Box.
This allows you to completely install everything and skip setup; you just open it and it sets everything up in 3 minutes.
Regardless of which distro you run - installing the Nvidia drivers with the .run file from their website is meant only & only for masochists.
The Kali devs went through the trouble of writing documentation for how to do it properly.
I guess you don't really need a GUI. The applications which have a GUI should have an entry in the Windows start menu. If you really want to get a desktop, you'll need to install one and set up a VNC server where you can then connect to.
Or you can just use Win-KeX.
Devs opinion about daily driving Kali
>Network services disabled by default: Kali Linux contains systemd hooks that disable network services by default. These hooks allow us to install various services on Kali Linux, while ensuring that our distribution remains secure by default, no matter what packages are installed. Additional services such as Bluetooth are also blocklisted by default.
Are you trying to daily drive it or just want to know how to enable bluetooth for pentesting?
You can install these tools on Ubuntu https://www.kali.org/tools/
Create a bootable usb of Ubuntu/Linux Mint and boot from it, mount your HDD and put your files somewhere then wipe the system and install Ubuntu or Linux Mint (Recommended) and install kali tools on them
Your best bet would be to make a live boot USB and run from that.
Avoids the issues of the VM not having enough resources, and avoids the issues of getting a dual-boot to work.
Have a look HERE.
Hey. If anyone tells you to run a command called "sudo rm -rf /", don't do it.
This command will wipe your entire drive.
As for your actual problem, the ISO file provided by Z Security is known to be not good and generally unstable. Burn the regular Kali ISO onto your drive instead.
And one more thing. If you wanna learn Linux, please don't use Kali. Use something like Linux Mint instead. If you want a source to start learning Linux, Linux Journey is a good place to start.
Stay safe out there.
I know this is trolling, but for everyone that may come across this sometime in the future:
There is no Microsoft Word for Linux. Microsoft just doesn't care about Linux, so why should there be a Linux release for it? Just use better and free alternatives, such as LibreOffice or OnlyOffice. They're both compatible with the proprietary Microsoft formats.
If you REALLY want Word, you could try installing it with Wine (good luck with that) or just run it in a Windows VM.
The thing is some wifi adapters don't have the hardware needed to run monitor mode therefore it wouldn't connect to kali or simply won't recognise it.
Another thing with virtual machine software like VM Ware is that it's confusing to configure whereas preferably Virtual Box is easier to configure so that you can bridge the WiFi adapter to Kali Linux.
I would just get a Alfa Network and Panda wireless adapter and configure it to run it that way and there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube on how to configure them.
Here are the wifi adapters o would recommend:

What size is the SD card? Is the SD card labeled “boot” or “BOOT”?
You may have to format the card first, this happens with cards that are usually larger than 32GB.
Grab the SD Formatter
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/
Format the card as FAT. If the SD card is larger than 32GB make a 32GB partition that can be formatted as FAT. You’ll need to use gparted or kali-tweaks to expand the 32GB partition after boot.
you need the command python2
or python3
. The old symlink python
is no longer available to avoid confusion and continue with the removal of python2

Its recommended to use a VM over an install so your host is is somewhat isolated from whatever you ronin the VM. What's making you not want to use a VM?
If its an Intel based Mac you can install Kali on it if you want to. These are the instructions https://www.kali.org/docs/installation/hard-disk-install-on-mac/
I have no idea what more details I can give you. Ill just give steps of what I have done.
​
Like I've said, i have downloaded it before without any problem. The window would not pop up. Instead it'll be the usual window for installing it. It would ask for permission and I would give it and there was no problem.
I just noticed the NFTS for Mac application I have for some reason won't open. Don't know if that interferes with the Kali download/installation. The reason I got NFTS for Mac Application in the first place was for a USB.
Thank you for your help.
Have you tried using one of the VM designated installs?
https://www.kali.org/get-kali/#kali-virtual-machines
I have no idea if it will work better or not. But it might work better than the bare metal install in a VM host.
Well, I was wrong :-) so have made this second reply to make sure you see the info.
Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W support has been added with the Kali 2021.4 release.
You made it with etcher, it doesn’t allow you to change the partition scheme to use.
I don’t know what scheme kali iso uses, but since your boot loader doesn’t recognize it, for sure it’s using MBR.
EFI/UEFI boot it’s needed for Macs (GPT). I don’t know of any program on Mac that lets you to change the partition scheme, but since you have Windows use Rufus to burn kali into your USB (remember to change from MBR [legacy] to GPT)
Keep googling or I should say ducking and you'll get there. Most questions on this sub are nothing but the result of laziness from searching it on internet and learning from it on our own.
Btw you'll get the installation as well as how to run it steps on the github page itself:
https://github.com/derv82/wifite2
I am 100% positive because I’m the one who builds the arm images. They are compressed down to 2GB but the filesystem expects to be 14GB in size (most 16GB sdcards have roughly 14.7-15.7GB of space).
I also added it to the release notes of 2019.4 that it would be the last release that supports only 8GB sdcards as you can see here https://www.kali.org/blog/kali-linux-2019-4-release/
Yo op, do what u/skuterpikk said, and it should work, if it doesn't youre not doing it right.
I'd recommend downloading kali from the windows store, and then installing win kex to get a gui, running large install myself, pretty painless install.
Yeah I'm not sure why it pasted that way. I did make typos and the error made that clear and it didn't work. I was trying to knock this out quickly but I ended up getting it right to where things would at least process. A live USB was the way to get my wifi cards working so I'm happy about that. I can access the Persistence.Confg file in the encrypted 500GB drive on boot but what I'm worried about is will all the updates and things I install like tools and such still be there when I reboot? Otherwise my cap and pcap files are gonna get wiped everytime I reboot like the text files I make on my desktop. Here's the full tutorial.
You seem to be asking about the current metapackages, which are detailed in docs. If you don't get what you expect at install, you can always add more later.
I solved it, you should change the graphic drivers . By default are nouveau drivers you have to change them to nvidia drivers. Here is a guide for you https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/install-nvidia-drivers-on-kali-linux/
The error at 0:01 about "Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller Series" basically translates to "can't find network or Internet."
The recommendation during Kali installation has always been to install while connected to the Internet. It is noted in the documentation and on one of the installation screens as "if you are not connected to the Internet you will get a basic system".
As far as I've seen, install attempts that are done without network and Internet available suffer with more complications than average. So, was the device connected to Internet during the install, and is it connected now?
The system says "no" so we have to start by sorting this out. It could be there is another connection in use (such as on-board wifi that INCLUDES a Kali driver) and the system is only showing an error for what was found available but not operating.
That would be http://old.kali.org/kali/pool/main/g/gnome-theme-kali/ afaik, the 2016 version of the theme might be it. Since it was a rolling release - https://www.kali.org/blog/kali-linux-2-0-release/ but again, there is no way it is going to be compatible with the current gnome. You’re talking 6-7 years of updates. You can check the package listing in sana on the old site to see what the exact version of the theme was
After reinstalling Kali Linux, it worked effortlessly for us. Try the following. If you want everything listed at the website - using more space - consider using:
"sudo apt install kali-linux-everything"
Or you could download the top-10 best tools with:
