throughout this course
we're going to use a number of
penetration testing tools
you can try and install each of these
tools manually or you can do what most
pen
pen testers do including myself and use
an operating system
designed for pen testers so we're going
to use an operating system called cali
which is based on linux on debian so
it's just the flavor of a normal linux
operating system
the only difference is it comes in with
most of the tools that we need to use
pre-installed and configured correctly
so it makes our life so much easier you
have two options to install kali
you can install it as a virtual machine
so you can install it inside
your main machine and access it through
it and this way there's no way you can
mess up
there's no way you can mess mess up your
hard drive or your current installation
and it works just as efficient as a main
machine
or you can install it as a main machine
using the iso image
if you chose to install it as a virtual
machine i'm actually going to be using
it as a virtual machine myself
then all you need to do is download it
from their website and they actually
have
pre-built versions for kali linux so you
won't actually need to install anything
let's go to the link and have a look
you'll see that you have pre-built
versions now there's two main
virtualization software there's vmware
and virtualbox
i'm gonna be using virtualbox myself you
can use any of them
whichever suits you so all you have to
do is click on the one
on the virtual software that you're
using and
download the one related to you so if
your processor is a 32-bit downloaded
32-bit
if your processor is a 64-bit then
download this one
now i've already downloaded this one and
i've already downloaded virtualbox
it's very easy to download and install
all you have to do is google virtualbox
and then go through the installation
steps next next nick snakes and it's
installed and virtualbox runs with
windows linux and mac os so runs on
everything
now i have virtualbox downloaded and i
have this downloaded as well
and once you download the kali image
you'll see this so this is actually
you'll actually see this first which is
kali linux
the a compressed version of it
uncompress it
you'll see this the ova file
and then all you have to do is just
double click it
now when i double click it you'll see
it's actually going to create a virtual
machine
for me and if i want to install this or
import it really i don't need to install
anything
i'm just going to click on import
okay so it's been imported for me and if
i click here
i actually already have kali installed
there but
if you click it there you'll see this is
the machine that just has been imported
and you can go on the settings here and
modify the settings as you want
now the main things that you might want
to modify
is the system and you can modify the
amount of ram in here
and you can modify the number of
processors i'm just going to keep this
the same it's all good
and also you might need to modify the
network i'm going to be using a net
network
as a default but if we change anything
we'll show you how to do that
now you can just click on start and that
will start the virtual machine for you
we're not going to be talking about how
you use this virtual machine
in future videos we're going to talk how
to use it and the programs
that we're going to be dealing with but
at the moment we're just going to take
it as it is
and now this is kali linux installed for
you
if you want to log in the username is
root and the password
is t-o-o-r so tour
and that's it we're logged in and we're
ready to use it
now in the next video i'm actually going
to explain how to install kali linux as
an iso
if you're happy enough with using it
like this i'm going to be using it like
this so there's no differences
it's a proper properly installed
installation and you can use it this way
perfectly but in the next video i'm just
going to show how to install it as an
iso
in case you had a problem with running
it like this or
if you want to install it as a main
machine so if this is working for you
skip the next video
and go to the one after that
