![]() That’s the end of what we needed from the settings menu, so close that, and open a terminal by clicking on the icon from the quick access bar This will leave you with just your preferred keyboard layout. To make your preferred one the only one, select “English (US)” then the minus symbol At this stage you will have US and your preferred one enabled. Then click the cross and add your preferred layout. But to do it, you select “Region & Language” from the left menu But if you prefer the US layout you can skip this step. Personally, I then change the keyboard layout from US, to UK. I then ensure “Blank Screen” is set to “Never” and “Automatic Suspend” is off It should default to the “Power” menu, if not select it on the left. My first step is to change some default settings, click on the arrow in the top right, then on the settings button Now, the default login on these images is Username: root Wait until it displays something like this To boot the machine, double click on it, a new window containing the VM should pop up. The machine is now ready to be booted and configured. Note: Never give NAT access to a vulnerable virtual machine, make sure you always isolate them into the host only adapter On the “Adapter 2” menu, tick “Enable Network Adapter”, then from the “Attached to:” drop down, select “NAT” Then click on the “Adapter 2” sub-menu, this adapter will be used so the kali VM can toggle between being on the isolated internal network and connecting to the internet I normally change Adapter 1 to “Host-only Adapter” and make sure it selects the network we just created. ![]() With the network setup, click “Close”, then back on the main menu, right click on the kali VM and click “settings” again. You then want to tick the DHCP Server tickbox Here click the create button, a new item will be added to the list. You should be presented with a pop up which lists internal networks. To do this click “File” from the top menu, then “Host network manager” Now we need an internal network to connect our kali machine to any virtual machines we want to attack, without exposing them to the internet! Which, again using the slider, I give access to 1/2 my coresįinally click “OK” to save these settings Setting up networking The next menu is “System”, under “Motherboard”, using the slider I will typically give a kali VM access to 2/3 of my RAM.įrom here, I click the sub-menu for “Processor”. In the settings, first go to “General” and then “Advanced”, here I personally set Drag and drop to off The next step is to right click on that machine and click settings On the next menu click importĪ progress bar will show up, wait for it to complete!Īfter which there should now be a machine listed on the main menu The first step is obviously to open virtual box where you should be presented with something which looks similar too thisįrom here you want to click “File” from the top menu, and then “Import Appliance”Ĭlick on the folder icon, and select the kali iso downloaded earlier, then click next. I will be downloading the 64 bit version, but you should download the version that is correct for you. Once you have the virtual box option selected, there should be 2 rows in the table, one for 32 bit and one for 64 bit. We want the virtual box ones so click on the other tab in the table. In the table below are download links for another VM tool called VMware. On that page scroll down to the section labelled “Download Kali Linux VMware and VirtualBox Images”. Now kali has been known to be a bit awkward to setup in VMs, so the good people over at Offensive Security have put together some pre-made images available here. I will be using virtual box 5.2.12 on Ubuntu 18.04 throughout this tutorial but the process should not be different on other systems. For this tutorial I am assuming you have already installed VirtualBox and the VirtualBox Extension Pack.
