I do have certain issues with the installation of oracle virtualbox again, i do not know what i have to do, the kernel is already installed, tried everything but still does not work out here, could someone else help me out? i am currently stuck on this awful issue/error and i do not know what i should do, i have tried a couple stuff as solutions but none of them i tried really worked out but i want to troubleshoot these errors again:
It might be easier to figure out KVM than it would be to get VirtualBox working. Is there something that VirtualBox does that KVM does not do? Why did you choose VirtualBox?
Because i do prefer visual/graphical based virtual machines rather than running it directly from the CLI (Terminal Based Interfaces) which also has a lot of features in expert mode and is fairly easier than on KVM since i already know how to do most of installing stuff from the native terminal of kde plasma (Konsole)
KVM has a GUI. Have you tried virt-manager?
I wonder how do you install it? like what kind of commands should i try out? and what do i need to do, like what exactly kind of graphical user interface should i add in? hacker like graphical user interface or geek techno like? i prefer the first one here of course so i will go with the hacker like GUI
On Fedora Linux, sudo dnf install virt-manager should work. I haven’t used it recently, but I used to many years ago and it worked very well.
I am currently installing with that command right now, might take a couple minutes
now, the command is virt-manager but first make sure to install qemu as in sudo dnf search qemu then you might want to install it like sudo dnf install qemu-system-x86_64
You might need to run sudo systemctl enable --now libvirtd.service right after installing it for the first time, I’m not sure. Like I said, I haven’t used it in a while. I can give it a quick try though.
Thanks, by the way i might go on asking for help on how to install Kali-Linux Netinstaller here, do you have any idea on how to do it with virt-manager?
I don’t know anything about it, but it looks like their download page has a QEMU image. That should work great with virt-manager.
Edit: They even have documentation for how to load it with virt-manager:
I am already nearly finished installing the system on virt-manager soon enough, and it were very easy to do it also it could be very hard for someone who never messed with technology a single time before
Those people are unlikely to be installing Kali in a VM on a Linux box, and if they are there’s plenty of documentation to tell them how to do it.
How to remove all of the Kali-Linux tools? i want a clean and fresh install without having to keep all the bloated tools over post-installation while keeping the main GUI (XFCE) which is the main graphical user interface of Kali-Linux, do you have any idea on how to do that?
Just out of curiosity, if you don’t want any of the Kali tools, then what is the advantage of Kali compared to some other Xfce-based distro?
Identify which tools you don’t want, and use the package manager to remove them.
I believe Kali has a number of meta-packages installed - kali-“whatever”. Remove those metapackages, and then perform an autroremove with --purge to clean everything up.
Ok, also how do i customize kali-linux to give a professional hacker like feel instead of being the common Kali-Linux on background when pro-testing it out? like what do i have to do exactly? i heard that there are a lot of tutorials or online documentations out there but i wanted to do it on my own, do you have any other idea to do so?
Because from there i can customize it with my own tools to be exact, i am not really sure if i want to use them, since i wanted to add custom tooling and other stuff like that, you know?
I have no idea what a “professional hacker-like feel” actually is.
Do you mean the tooling, the cosmetic look-and-feel, the shell scripts commonly used, the aliases for common commands, the order of operations or something else entirely?
When I worked at NCC Group on Incident Response we had a standard set of tools which we’d always execute to try to assess the situation, and they were executed via a set of scripts to collate the output, parse it and store it for the incident report - there wasn’t much scope for generating your own look and feel as you want consistent results rather than some unusable tooling output that didn’t comply with the reporting requirements or the data format.
Kali comes with an extremely comprehensive set of industry standard tooling, most of which you’ve just removed by uninstalling those meta-packages.
