Kali Linux Manual

Introduction
Kali Linux is a Linux distribution specialized in cybersecurity. It is an open source product that
involves a lot of customization for penetration testing, helping companies understand their
vulnerabilities.

Kali Linux is based on the Debian Linux distribution and runs on a wide spectrum of devices, open
source construction means it is free and legal to use in a wide range of business scenarios.

While experts point out that Kali Linux is for beginners, those who are interested in cybersecurity
often benefit from using this Linux distribution.

Kali Linux offers the “Single Root User” design as a way to manage privileges, and users can disable
network services by default. That's useful for penetration testing and data forensics that can be
used to determine a company's weaknesses in a risk mitigation project.
 1. Goals

1.1 General objective

Create laboratory guides that introduce the student to the basics of using the Linux operating
system, and have better interaction and knowledge of other operating systems that they may use.

1.2 Specific objectives

- Investigate the different sources of Linux management in the areas of processes and
design of simple console programs
- Carry out tests of the guides with students to determine the time allocated for each guide
and check the importance of those proposed.

The first thing we will do is choose a virtualization environment that allows us to have a real virtual
utility environment and we can do practices in said system that we end up using. In this case we
will use virtual Box.

Oracle virtual Box

We decided to manage in Oracle virtual Box, but you can use other virtualization environments
that allow you to perform the same functions.

We give you the characteristics that our virtual machine will have, in this case it will be the name
Kali_linux, type = Linux and version must be 64 bits.

Select the amount of memory (RAM) in megabytes to be reserved for the virtual machine.
The recommended memory size is 1024 MB.

In this part we define the type of memory size, it is very important to look at how much RAM the
computer has.

HDD
If you want you can add a virtual hard drive to the new machine. You can create a new hard drive file or select one from the list or another location using the folder icon.

. If you need a more complex storage configuration you can skip this step and make changes to the virtual machine preferences once created.

The recommended hard drive size is 8.00 GB.

Physical hard drive storage

Select whether the new virtual hard drive file should grow as it is used ( hot reserve) or whether it should be created at its maximum size (fixed size).

A dynamically reserved hard disk file will only use space on your physical disk as it fills up (up to a maximum fixed size ), however it will not automatically
shrink back down when the space on it is freed.

A fixed-size hard drive file may take longer to create on some systems, but is typically faster to use.

Type the name of the virtual hard drive file in the field below or click the folder icon to select a different folder to create the file in.

Select the virtual hard disk size in megabytes. This size is the limit for the data file that a virtual machine will be able to store on the hard drive.

Please enter the name of the traquina.

name it should have, if you are setting up a home network you can make up this name.

The name we assign to the machine only charges or operates in part of a network, so that it
identifies us.

You need to set a password for the root user, the system administration account. It could have serious consequences if a
malicious user or an unqualified user gained access to the system administrator account, so you should be careful and
choose a password for the super user that is not easy to guess. It should not be a word found in the dictionary, or a word
that can be easily associated with you.

A good password should contain a mix of letters, numbers, and punctuation marks, and should be changed regularly.

The password for the root user (administrator) should not be blank. If you leave this value blank, then the root account will
be disabled and a user account will be created that will be given permissions to become the administrator user using the
“sudo” command.

Please note that you will not be able to see your password while you enter it.

Superuser password:

- ##-34N

I•Emmrammum 13
In this part we will have to give our administrator a password that allows him to have adequate
protection for our system.

-----------------------------------1 [!!] Configure users and passwords |--------------------------------------------

Please enter the same superuser password again to verify that you entered it correctly.

Re-enter your password for verification:

In this window it will tell us to double-check our password that we have chosen. It is important that
the password is not forgotten because it will not allow us to enter our environment if this happens.
In this case, let's configure our clock so that we can better access the time zone in which our
country finds us.

This installer can guide you through disk partitioning (using different standard schemes ) or, if you wish, you can do it
manually. If you choose the guided partitioning system you will have the opportunity later to review and adapt the results.
You will be asked which disk to use if you choose guided partitioning for a full disk.

Partitioning method:

.liado - use all the disk

Guided - use the entire disk and configure LVM Guided - use the entire disk and configure LVM

Disk partitioning
In this step we select the “guided – use the entire disk”

selected to partition:

SCSI3 (0,0,0) (Sda) - ATA VBOX HARDDISK: 10.7 GB

This disk can be partitioned following one or more of the different schemes available. If you are not sure, choose the
first one.

Partitioning scheme:

[All files in one partition (recommended for newbies)!

Detach the /home partition

Separate /home, /var and /tmp partitions

We recommend for newbies

By choosing this option the manager is responsible for creating all the necessary partitions, we only
check if we are satisfied.
This is a summary of the partitions and mount points you currently have adjacent to you. Select a partition to modify its
values (file system, mount points, etc.), free space to add a new partition, or a device to initialize the partition table.

Guided partitioning - how were the partitions

In the installation guided by the installation manager it will show us how they are partitioned.

Any changes listed below will be written to the disks if you continue. If you don't, you can make changes manually.

The partition tables of the following devices have been modified:

SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sda)

The following partitions will be formatted:

SCSI3 partition #1 (0,0,0) (sda) as ext4
SCSI3 partition #5 (0,0,0) (sda) as swap

In this part of the installation, each partition and certain name are reflected and we accept the

Installation is complete, so it is time to boot into your new system. Make sure to remove the installation media, so that you
