Kali Linux is a Debian-based Linux distribution designed for digital forensics and penetration testing.Maintained and funded by Offensive Security .

Kali Linux has about 600 built-inPenetration testing programs (tools), including Armitage (graphical network attack management tool), Nmap (port scanning tool), Wireshark (packet analyzer), Metasploit (penetration testing framework), John the Ripper ( password cracker ), sqlmap (automated SQL injection and database takeover tool), Aircrack-ng (software package for penetration testing wireless LANs), Burp suite, and OWASP ZAP network application security scanner, etc.

Installation in VMware Workstation

 

1 Download Pre-built VMs from Kali.org website

https://www.kali.org/get-kali/#kali-virtual-machines

It has different downloading links for VMware, VirtualBox, Hyper-V, QEMU 

2 Extract it

It is 7z file and size is about 3.3GB. After extract it, it will 13.8GB.

3 Use VMware Workstation open .vmx file in the extracted folder

4 Power on the machine then log in with kali / kali this credential

Add the new user to the sudo group
  1. To grant the new user administrative privileges, use the command sudo usermod -aG sudo <username>.
  2. This command adds the user to the "sudo" group, allowing them to use the sudo command. 

Kali VM Connects to USB Wifi Adapter

 After powered on your Kali VM, and logged in with kali / kali this credential, you will see following screen. 

By default, Kali Virtual Machine settings already has USB Controller set to Present. 

At the bottom of VM's window, the status bar should show you a grey USB icon. You can move your mouse over, which will show you a usb WIFI adapter there if you have one connecting to your host machine.

Click the grey usb icon, you will have an option to connect to it, but it will disconnect from the Host. 

Now you can check your VM which usb device you are connecting to from the terminal.

If the device is compatible with Kali, you should be able to click network icon on the top status bar of your Kali desktop to connect to Wifi network. 

Ifconfig command should be able to show you the ip address after you connected to your home wifi.

Change Language from English to Chinese

By default, the language of the Kali system is English. If you need to set the Kali system to Chinese, you can do it by following the steps below:

1. Open the terminal and update the system package list:

sudo apt-update
sudo apt-upgrade

2.  Install the Chinese language pack:

sudo apt-get install locales

3. Generate Chinese language environment (taking zh_CN.UTF-8 as an example):

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

In the interface that appears, select zh_CN.UTF-8, usually by selecting it with a space.

After confirmation, you can see zh_CN.UTF-8 in the interface that appears. Right-click and select OK to confirm, as shown in the figure below.

4. Update system locale settings:

sudo locale-gen zh_CN.UTF - 8

5. Apply Chinese settings:

sudo update-locale LANG= zh_CN.UTF - 8

6. Re-login or restart  Kali Linux for the configuration to take effect.

Install Docker on Kali

To install Docker on Kali you need to remember that there is already a package named “docker”, therefore Docker has to be installed under a different name. If you install docker you will not end up with the container version. The version we will be installing is named docker.io. All commands are the same however, so running docker on the command line will be the appropriate command:

kali@kali:~$ sudo apt update kali@kali:~$ kali@kali:~$ sudo apt install -y docker.io kali@kali:~$ kali@kali:~$ sudo systemctl enable docker --now kali@kali:~$ kali@kali:~$ docker kali@kali:~$

You can now get started with using docker, with sudo. If you want to add yourself to the docker group to use docker without sudo, an additional step is needed:

kali@kali:~$ sudo usermod -aG docker $USER kali@kali:~$

The final thing is to logout and in again.

Note: https://www.kali.org/docs/containers/installing-docker-on-kali/
For Docker Compose, you can install it using following command 
┌──(root㉿kali)-[~] └─# apt install -y docker-compose

Troubleshooting

 

If you are using ssh key to access, you might have a Private key permission file issue. Current user has to be only able to read.

minimal installation to default installation:
https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/metapackages/

Metapackages are used to install many packages at one time, created as a list of dependencies on other packages. Kali Linux uses these in a few ways. One way is allowing users to decide how many packages out of the total Kali list they would like to install. Need just enough to use Linux? Want enough to conduct Pentests? Perhaps nearly every package available in Kali?

To install a metapackage, we are going to first update the system. While not mandatory, this step is highly recommended to make sure the metapackages can be installed without any unexpected side-effects. The procedure to update Kali is documented in details on the page Updating Kali, but in short, it boils down to two commands:

kali@kali:~$ sudo apt update kali@kali:~$ kali@kali:~$ sudo apt full-upgrade -y kali@kali:~$

The step above might take a while, depending on how many packages need to be updated. After it’s complete, installing a metapackage (kali-linux-default in this example) is simply a matter of running one command:

kali@kali:~$ sudo apt install -y kali-linux-default kali@kali:~$

Alternatively we can use kali-tweaks to install metapackage groups for us. We first run the following command:

kali@kali:~$ kali-tweaks

From here we will navigate into the “Metapackages” tab. Now we just select which metapackages we want and then we can hit “Apply” then “OK” and finally supply our password.

Solution Update 2025

for convenience reasons: the current keyring file changed, use the following commands:

# download wget https://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/k/kali-archive-keyring/kali-archive-keyring_2025.1_all.deb # install sudo dpkg -i kali-archive-keyring_2025.1_all.deb # remove downloaded file again rm kali-archive-keyring_2025.1_all.deb # try to update again sudo apt-get update -y
