Hello, everyone, and welcome to this video.
So in this lesson, we are going to learn about how to install Kali Linux in VirtualBox.
So as we already know, what is VirtualBox as it is a virtualization software which helps you run any
operating system inside it.
So here we are going to install a penetration testing OS, which is Kali Linux inside VirtualBox in
our base operating system, which is Windows OS.
So let's see this.
The first thing that we are going to do is go on Google and search for Kali Linux download.
This will get us to the first official link of the website, which is Kali dot org on here.
You can see there are different versions of Kali Linux that can be downloaded here.
We are going to download the 64 bit installer version that we will be using to install in VirtualBox.
I have fast forwarded this and you can see we have successfully downloaded the ISO file.
Now we are going to use this ISO file to be installed in our VirtualBox.
So let's quickly start VirtualBox now and this is how it looks.
So we are going to click on New and then we are going to give a name to the operating system.
You can choose any name that you want to use the type as Linux and the version as Debian 64 bit because
Kali Linux is a Debian flavor operating system as we all know.
Here you can configure the memory size or the ram size.
So I'm keeping it at 2048.
I'm going to choose a hard disk.
You can specify how much amount of disk space you want to give over here.
So let's say I'm going to give it 26 GB, for example, and I'm going to start this before we start,
I'm going to go in settings and I'm going to check everything is fine in my configuration here.
If you want, you can modify any settings that you later want to modify into your OS.
I will go to storage and here in the optical drive I'm going to specify the Linux ISO that we have downloaded.
I will just set the spot here and hit.
Okay.
Once I do that, it will automatically start booting and there would be next steps to install the OS.
As you can see, I have successfully booted the Kali Linux machine and now there are simple steps that
you need to choose.
So I'm going to choose my language as English, so now I'm going to choose my keyboard as English and
I'm going to hit next.
This process might take some time for the complete installation, and then it will start.
I'm going to give a hostname as Rectify.
You can give anything that you want of your choice.
Then you need to give a full name to the user.
So I'm going to again give a full name as hacked ify cybersecurity and then a password.
So I've given the password as root.
Choose the first option, which is use entire disk and continue all files in one partition.
Again, continue.
And then you have the final screen where you can see what are the changes that you have done right?
Changes to the disk and start.
Continue.
This is it.
This will install the base system for a Kali Linux operating system might take 15 to 30 minutes based
upon the configuration of your system and it will successfully get installed in your system.
As you can see, I have successfully installed it and we are at the screen of finish the installation
and let's see this and you can see I have successfully booted my machine.
I will use my username and password that I have provided which successfully allows me to log in in my
system.
I hope you guys understood this.
