Linux Installation Process

In this video, we will be covering the installation process of Kali Linux using VirtualBox. Kali Linux is a popular open-source penetration testing distribution that is widely used by security professionals and ethical hackers. It comes with a wide range of tools and software that can be used to perform various security tasks, such as penetration testing, forensic analysis, and vulnerability assessment.

First, you will need to download VirtualBox from the official website (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads). Once VirtualBox is installed, you will need to download the Kali Linux ISO image from the Kali website (https://www.kali.org/downloads/).

The first step in installing Kali Linux is to download the ISO image from the official website. Once the ISO image is downloaded, we will be using VirtualBox, a free and open-source virtualization software, to create a virtual machine. This allows us to run Kali Linux on our existing operating system without any conflicts.

We will begin by opening VirtualBox and clicking on the "New" button to create a new virtual machine. We will then name the machine "Kali Linux" and select "Linux" as the type and "Debian" as the version. Next, we will allocate the appropriate amount of memory and create a virtual hard disk.

Once the virtual machine is created, we will then click on the "Start" button to begin the installation process. We will then select the Kali Linux ISO image we downloaded earlier as the installation media and follow the prompts to complete the installation.

After the installation is complete, we will be prompted to reboot the virtual machine. Once the virtual machine is rebooted, we will be presented with the Kali Linux login screen. We will then be able to log in using the username and password that we set during the installation process.

In conclusion, installing Kali Linux using VirtualBox is a simple and straightforward process. It allows us to run Kali Linux on our existing operating system without any conflicts and provides us with a wide range of tools and software that can be used to perform various security tasks. If you are interested in learning more about ethical hacking and penetration testing, Kali Linux is a great place to start.

Note: As a general note, It is important to use Kali Linux and all its tools for legal and ethical purposes. Hacking without permission is illegal and punishable by law.

Another way is:

We will begin by opening VMware and clicking on the "Create a New Virtual Machine" button to create a new virtual machine. We will then select "Custom (advanced)" and choose "Linux" as the operating system and "Debian" as the version. Next, we will allocate the appropriate amount of memory and create a virtual hard disk.

Once the virtual machine is created, we will then click on the "Edit virtual machine settings" button to configure the virtual machine. We will then add the Kali Linux ISO image we downloaded earlier as the installation media. We will also configure the network settings and other options as per our requirement.

After the configuration is complete, we will then click on the "Play virtual machine" button to begin the installation process. We will then follow the prompts to complete the installation.

After the installation is complete, we will be prompted to reboot the virtual machine. Once the virtual machine is rebooted, we will be presented with the Kali Linux login screen. We will then be able to log in using the username and password that we set during the installation process.

In conclusion, installing Kali Linux using VMware is a simple and straightforward process. It allows us to run Kali Linux on our existing operating system without any conflicts and provides us with a wide range of tools and software that can be used to perform various security tasks. If you are interested in learning more about ethical hacking and penetration testing, Kali Linux is a great place to start.
