‫In this lecture,

‫I'm going to show you how to install Kali Linux

‫as a virtual machine inside Linux.

‫Skip this lecture if you have it already installed

‫and revise the previous lectures to see how to install it

‫on Windows or Apple Mac OS.

‫Now I already have it downloaded in here in My Downloads.

‫And as you can see, this is an archive

‫with a 7 Z extension.

‫The actual virtual image is compressed inside this archive.

‫We did this to reduce its size

‫so you can download it quicker.

‫But in order to use this virtual image,

‫we're going to have to un-compress the archive.

‫To do that, you simply have to right click it

‫and click on Extract here.

‫You're going to need to give it some time to fully

‫un-compress the archive and reveal its content.

‫Perfect. Once this is done,

‫you're going to see a new directory in here

‫that contains the actual image.

‫And you'll notice that this folder ends with dot vmwarevm.

‫So in order to run this virtual image of Kali Linux,

‫we need to install a virtualization software.

‫And the software that we're going to use is called VMware.

‫I'm going to include it's download link in the resources

‫of this lecture.

‫And all you're going to have to do is simply scroll down

‫and click on the Linux version in here.

‫We're going to save it.

‫Once they download this complete, we're going to be able

‫to see it here in our downloads.

‫This is the installer for VMware,

‫the software that we're going to use to run virtual machines

‫inside our current operating system.

‫And to install it, we're first going to need

‫to open our terminal and navigate to the location

‫where we have this installer downloaded,

‫which is in My Downloads.

‫So I'm going to use the CD command

‫to change my working directory, to Downloads.

‫And if I do LS to list all of the files,

‫you'll see we have the file in here.

‫And before running this file,

‫we need to change its permissions to an executable.

‫So to do that, we're going to do chmod + x

‫followed by the file name.

‫I'm gonna hit Enter.

‫And now if I do LS, you'll notice that the file name

‫is listed in green, meaning that this is an executable.

‫Now before running this executable,

‫we're going to have to install the Build Essentials Package

‫because it is required by this installer

‫to install VMware for us.

‫Now I'm doing all of these steps on Ubuntu

‫but installing VMware should be pretty much the same

‫on most Linux and especially Debian-based distributions.

‫So in order to install the Build Essentials,

‫I'm first going to have to update the list of sources

‫that I can download packages from.

‫And to do that, we're going to do sudo apt-get update.

‫I'm going to input my password.

‫Once the sources are updated,

‫we're ready to install the Build Essentials.

‫So we're going to do sudo apt-get install build essential.

‫We're going to hit Enter.

‫I've already installed this

‫that's why it's automatically installing it for me.

‫But in your case, it's going to ask you to confirm.

‫And all you'll have to do is simply hit Enter

‫to confirm that you want to install it.

‫If you don't see any errors at all,

‫it means everything got installed properly.

‫So I'm going to clear the screen

‫and I'm going to do LS one more time

‫just to show you what we want to run.

‫We want to run this executable, which is the same file

‫as this one.

‫And to run executable in Linux, you simply have to do

‫dot forward slash followed by the executable name.

‫Now also, we need to run this as admin.

‫Therefore, I'm going to type sudo before the command.

‫I'm going to hit Enter and we're going to give it sometime

‫to extract the installer.

‫And once it's done, we're going to go to all of our software

‫and we're going to run VMware Player.

‫We're going to accept the agreement and click Next.

‫Accept the license.

‫Next we're going to say,

‫we don't want to share data and we click on Finish.

‫We're going to put the password.

‫And perfect. Here we go.

‫During the installation, you might also get an option

‫to either use the free or the paid version.

‫Make sure you select the free one

‫because we're using it for non-commercial use.

‫So right now we're ready to create or open

‫ready virtual machines using VMware.

‫So I'm going to close my terminal window.

‫And the virtual machine that we actually want to run

‫is the customized version of Kali

‫that we just downloaded at the start of the video.

‫So to do that,

‫we're simply going to click on 'Open A Virtual Machine'

‫or go to file and open virtual machine.

‫We're going to navigate to the location

‫where we downloaded this virtual machine.

‫And as you can see, it's in the downloads.

‫So we're going to go to downloads.

‫We're going to double click it in here

‫and select the only file that we can select,

‫which is the dot VMX file.

‫We're going to double-click it.

‫And here we go, we have it imported in here in VMware

‫and we can easily start it now by clicking

‫on Power On in here.

‫Now before doing that,

‫I just want to show you

‫how to modify the virtual machine settings.

‫You do not need to do this.

‫I'm simply showing you how to do that so you get an idea

‫on how to modify the settings

‫because modifying virtual machine settings is always

‫the same regardless of what type of virtual machine it is.

‫So we're going to click on 'Edit Virtual Machine Settings'

‫in here, to modify the settings.

‫And as you can see, the first thing that you can modify

‫is the amount of memory that the virtual machine has

‫and you can increase it or decrease it by moving the slider.

‫It's set to two gigabytes by default

‫and that is good so I'm going to keep it at that.

‫Next you can modify the number of processors

‫that the machine has.

‫Again, it's set to two by default.

‫I'm going to keep it at that because that's pretty good.

‫You can also modify the network settings.

‫And as you can see right now,

‫it's set to 'Use A NAT Network.'

‫We're also going to keep this as NAT.

‫This is great because this setting will basically

‫create a virtual network where my host machine

‫is going to be the router for this network.

‫And then all the virtual machines are going to be clients

‫connected to this network.

‫So they're going to get internet connection

‫from my host machine.

‫And at the same time, all of my virtual machines

‫will be connected to the same virtual network.

‫This is very handy because my virtual machines will be able

‫to communicate with each other.

‫And therefore we'll be able to use the Kali machine

‫to hack into the others.

‫We'll be able to test network attacks and do much more.

‫So this setting will first allow my virtual machines

‫to have internet connection and it will also allow them

‫to communicate with each other

‫through this virtual NAT network.

‫Now this virtual network will rely on the connection

‫of your host computer.

‫So it will not need any extra interfaces.

‫It will not need any extra adapters.

‫And as far as the virtual machines are concerned,

‫they are connected to on ethernet network,

‫but in reality, they are connected through the host machine.

‫Finally, you can also modify the display settings in here.

‫And I usually like to take this option

‫to accelerate 3D graphics.

‫If you get issues with it, you can untick it.

‫But usually it gives you nicer and smoother animations

‫with virtual machines.

‫So we're going to save the settings and we can go ahead

‫and start this virtual machine by selecting it

‫and clicking on Power On in here.

‫We're going to say 'I copied it.'

‫And we're just going to give it some time to load.

‫Now, this custom image of Kali already comes

‫with VMware tools, which is a set of plugins

‫that improve the experience of using virtual machines.

‫If you get a popup like this,

‫you can click on Download and Install

‫to install the latest one.

‫Or you can simply click on Remind Me Later

‫to install it later.

‫And as you can see, if everything goes as expected,

‫you should get the default login screen for Kali.

‫So I'm going to click in here

‫and I'm going to put the username as root, R-O-O-T.

‫Hit Enter and the password is the reverse of that.

‫So it's T-O-O-R.

‫We're going to hit Enter and give it some time.

‫And great.

‫As you can see, now we have another operating system.

‫Kali Linux installed as a virtual machine

‫inside our own main host operating system.

‫Now we can put this in full screen

‫by going to virtual machine in here

‫and clicking on Enter Full Screen.

‫The screen should automatically resize,

‫as you can see in here.

‫And in most cases, the icons should look normal.

‫But in my case they look small because I have a 4K display.

‫So we're going

‫to need to manually modify the display settings.

‫And to do that, we're going to right click, go to Settings,

‫click on Display in here from the left.

‫And we're going to set this scale 200.

‫I'm going to click on Apply, we're keep the changes.

‫And perfect. Now Kali looks normal for me.

‫You don't have to do this if Kali looked normal

‫from the start.

‫Only if you have a high resolution screen,

‫you might have to do this.

‫Now I know this operating system

‫might look a little bit confusing and scary,

‫but don't worry about it at all.

‫I will teach you how to use it step by step

‫as we go through the course.
