#KALI LINUX VIRTUALBOX PASSWORD#
Login as root user with the password you chose before.

Upon rebooting you will be greeted with your new Kali Linux environment.
#KALI LINUX VIRTUALBOX ISO#
Thankfully, VirtualBox will remove the iso for you so you don’t have to worry about that. It will ask you to remove the live OS media and restart the system. If you are unsure whether or not you use a proxy, leave it empty.

Next would be an option to setup a proxy. Say yes to this as well.Īnd select your virtual hard disk where the GRUB boot loader would be installed, in the next prompt.
#KALI LINUX VIRTUALBOX INSTALL#
Next would be an option to install GRUB on your local hard drive. This helps keep all your apt packages up to date. Once to select a package mirror, to which you should say yes. You will be prompted thrice in this process. Once you do that the installation would begin. You will be prompted one last time to say “yes” to the changes. Lastly, select the first option where a single partition (other than a swap partition) would be created.Īnd accept the changes that would be made to your virtual hard disk by click on Finish Partitioning option and Continue. Select the only hard disk that appears there, as shown below: You will be shown the information of all the hard disk’s connected to the VM (which in our case is only one). Select the “Guided – use entire disk” option and Continue. Since we are using a single newly created virtual hard disk, there is no data to be lost in there, additionally, we are not going to dual-boot or use LVM so partitioning is going to be relatively easy. Select the time zone that is relevant to your previously chosen location.Īnd we can move on to selecting and partitioning the hard disk. Enter a secure password for your root user and re-enter it to confirm the change and Continue to the next window. Next you would be prompted for root password. We are using kalivm as our hostname.Īnd we are using kalivm.local as the VM’s domain name. Once that is done, you will be asked to enter a hostname and a domain name. If unsure, stick with the American English option.Īfter clicking on Continue some of the installer components and networking configs will get loaded. Select your language and click on Continue. Next few prompts would select language preferences, keyboard layout and your location as shown below:

In the Boot Menu select the Graphical Install option for a simple and hassle free installation experience and hit Enter. Then click on Start to boot the installation media. Using the file explorer window that pops up, locate the Kali ISO file that you downloaded earlier. VirtualBox will prompt us to select a bootable media to boot the VM with.

Since the Virtual Hard Disk doesn’t have an OS installed on it, it is not bootable yet. Open up VirtualBox manager and double click on KaliVM to boot it up. That is all there is to VM setup, let’s install Kali OS on top of this VM. Also, if you plan on using the VM to deal with the traffic flowing through the LAN to which your host is connected, you can go to Network tab and select Bridge Networking so that your VM shows up on your local DHCP server as a physical device like any other desktop, phone or tablet. Increase the number of processors to a reasonable amount so the VM performs better. Go to Systems tab on the Settings menu and there select the Processor tab. Just right click on the VM and select Settings. Click “Create” one last time and the VM is created.īefore starting the installation, you may also want to tweak the VM’s settings. By doing this, your VM will not take up the entire allocated size at once but would rather grow gradually as and when it needs more space. Keep the hard disk file type as VDI and set the it to be dynamically allocated. Select a size that works for you, when creating your Virtual Disk. Kali recommends a minimum disk size of 20GB, and for practical purposes you would want something larger than 40GB in size. Lastly, for storage select the “Create a virtual hard disk now” option as shown below and click “Create”. Anything above 2GB would result in a decent performance. Also allocate a sizeable amount of RAM to this VM.

Select the Type as “Linux” and Version as “Debian (64-bit)”. In the “Create Virtual Machine” window, give your VM a reasonable name. Click on the “New” button from the top left corner. Once the iso is downloaded, we are ready to install it inside a VM. The file is nearly 3 GB in size and it might take a while to download.
