‫Lecturer: Hi, within this lecture,
‫we're gonna see how to install or download Kali Linux.
‫And actually, what is Kali Linux?
‫So, you may have heard the term Linux, right?
‫It's a open-source, free operating system.
‫And thanks to Linux,
‫we have many developments in the technology field today,
‫not only in cyber security.
‫Most of the internet actually uses Linux in web servers,
‫in regular servers, in cloud,
‫in many things that you might think of.
‫So maybe we can even attribute the expansion of the internet
‫over the years to Linux.
‫There is no point denying that Linux made it so fast
‫because it's free, it's good,
‫and we use it in our daily lives in the technology field.
‫So, what we are going to do,
‫we're going to learn penetration testing
‫or cyber security related things about Linux.
‫So, you can find many different versions,
‫many different distributions, such as Ubuntu
‫or Ubuntu, however you may want to pronounce it.
‫So let me just show you.
‫You don't have to go to this website, by the way.
‫I'm just showing you this.
‫This is one of the most popular versions
‫or distributions of Linux,
‫and is used definitely in many of the cloud applications.
‫So let me show you another one, Debian, for example.
‫Again, this is an operating system,
‫a distribution of the Linux.
‫And this is developed by a community,
‫and it's completely free.
‫Again, this is heavily used in the industry, okay?
‫So if you're going to create a server,
‫you may choose Ubuntu or a Debian.
‫And there is a Mint Linux, for example.
‫So, Linux Mint.
‫Generally, this aims to create a very user-friendly GUI,
‫like graphical user interface.
‫As you might have already heard,
‫it's a little bit harder to use than Windows,
‫but if we think about regular users, not computer savvies.
‫So Linux Mint actually aims to create
‫a user-friendly environment for that.
‫So this is, again, a distribution of Linux.
‫But let's get back to our main point,
‫which is Kali Linux, okay?
‫Now you can go to this website, by the way.
‫You can go to kali.org.
‫So this is the most advanced
‫penetration testing distribution.
‫So this is the most popular operating system
‫or distribution of Linux in the cyber security field.
‫Of course, Kali is not the only option, okay?
‫But it's the most popular one.
‫And we're gonna follow Kali.
‫We're gonna use Kali throughout the course.
‫You can even use one of these Mint or Debian stuff.
‫You can install everything related to cyber security
‫in those distributions as well.
‫But why we bother, right?
‫Because we have the Kali.
‫We have many tools and many softwares,
‫many programs that is actually aimed at cyber security.
‫And we can find them and we can use them freely
‫by using Kali Linux.
‫And of course, again, this is not the only option.
‫Let me show you the other penetration testing
‫or ethical hacking operating system, such as Parrot, okay?
‫So let's see, parrotsec.org.
‫So again, this is a distribution of Linux.
‫You can use this
‫and you can use this alternatively to Kali Linux.
‫And you can this use the other things like BlackArch.
‫Okay, so let me find BlackArch Linux.
‫So here you go. BlackArch Linux.
‫So you can use this as well.
‫This is, again, a penetration testing distribution.
‫It has a lot of tools inside of it.
‫So these are all alternatives to Kali Linux.
‫But we are going to focus on
‫and we are going to use the Kali Linux
‫throughout the course.
‫This is just to show you that there are alternatives.
‫And if you hear about these terms
‫like Ubuntu, Debian, Parrot, BlackArch,
‫know that they're just versions
‫or distributions of Kali Linux.
‫So, Kali is developed by some company
‫called Offensive Security.
‫And even though it's developed by a company,
‫it's completely free and it has always been,
‫so we can just download and use it, okay?
‫And all of them, all of those are free, by the way.
‫But we are gonna focus on Kali.
‫If you learn how to use Kali
‫and if you learn how to use Linux,
‫and that's what we aim to do within this course,
‫you will be able to switch to any other distribution,
‫any other version if you need to, okay?
‫And again, after you complete this course,
‫you will be fluent in Linux.
‫So, when you go to kali.org,
‫you will see different text, different images.
‫They change the design, the UI of this website, every time.
‫But there will be always something like Get Kali
‫or Download button where you will see the alternatives
‫of the download.
‫But just don't download yet.
‫I'm going to explain your alternatives
‫for downloading as well, okay?
‫Right now, when I open this page,
‫I see the Bare Metal,
‫I see the Virtual Machines,
‫along with the other alternatives.
‫Again, this design can change.
‫This images can change over the time.
‫They change it like as far as I follow, three months,
‫in every three months.
‫So again, if they change the design,
‫I don't generally update the lecture
‫unless it gets too complicated.
‫I assume you can find it yourself.
‫But again, we're going to download Kali Linux
‫from this website, okay?
‫And it's going to be completely free.
‫So, this is not the only option though,
‫because we have created another Kali Linux image,
‫another Kali Linux version for you,
‫specifically made for this course.
‫So, why did we even do that, right?
‫We're gonna talk about this.
‫But again, this is not your only option.
‫We see the Bare Metal.
‫We see the Virtual Machines.
‫We're gonna talk about them in a little bit.
‫But again, I'm going to share a link with you.
‫If you click on that link,
‫you can find it on the explanations of this course
‫or documents of this course.
‫If you click on that link, it will lead you,
‫something like a Google Drive or Yandex drive,
‫anything that you can download this OVA file, okay?
‫So we're gonna talk about what an OVA is, don't worry.
‫But again, this is specifically created for this course.
‫So just don't download anything yet
‫unless you have all the information regarding to this.
‫So when we open the Kali Linux, kali.org,
‫we see the Bare Metal and Virtual Machines.
‫Obviously, we're gonna go for the Virtual Machines.
‫Remember we have installed the VirtualBox.
‫And now this Virtual Machines,
‫the Virtual Machine images are created
‫just so that you can easily install it on your computer,
‫on your virtual machine.
‫If you click on that Virtual Machines,
‫you will see that you have alternatives
‫for VMware and VirtualBox.
‫So we are using VirtualBox in this course again,
‫but VMware is another alternative.
‫It's not free. VMware is not free.
‫Maybe you can find the free versions of it
‫if you just carefully research the internet.
‫But again, VirtualBox is free.
‫So we're gonna focus on that.
‫So, if you come across in a situation
‫that you already have VMware,
‫of course, you can download it and use it
‫if you know how to use VMware.
‫But we are not gonna do that in this course.
‫And also there are two alternatives over here:
‫64-bit and 32-bit.
‫Please make sure your computer is 64-bit
‫if you're going to download 64-bit.
‫If your computer is 32-bit,
‫then you're gonna go for 32-bit.
‫If you're using Mac, you most probably have 64-bit.
‫If you're using Windows, right-click on the computer,
‫My Computer, and go to Properties.
‫That is where you can find the information about
‫whether you use 64-bit or 32-bit.
‫So most probably you're gonna have 64-bit,
‫and you can download the original OVA
‫or the original Kali from here.
‫Okay?
‫So what I would suggest is to come over here
‫and download the VirtualBox 64-bit or 32-bit
‫depending on your architecture from here, okay?
‫Start with this.
‫And again, you might ask that if we are going to do that,
‫if we're going to save this, okay,
‫then why are you telling us that you created
‫a specific version of Kali Linux
‫for this course only, right?
‫Because we have that option as well.
‫The thing is, we're going to download a lot of things.
‫We're going to install some packages.
‫We're going to install new softwares.
‫We're going to install new programs during this course.
‫Of course, I'm going to show you how to install,
‫how to use, what command you should execute and stuff
‫during the course as well.
‫But sometimes if you experience any problems
‫with those newly installed things,
‫or maybe you can experience some problems even downloading
‫and installing those new features,
‫new programs, new softwares, new tools,
‫then there is always an alternative over here
‫which has all the programs,
‫which has all the tools that we are going to be using
‫during this course, and it actually works, okay?
‫And by the way, the version does not even matter.
‫Right now, when you click on that, you see Kali Linux 2022.
‫I actually shot this course,
‫I actually released this course in 2016.
‫So over time I updated the course every year, okay?
‫And over time I changed the OVAs,
‫the Kali Linux files over the years as well.
‫Right now, as you can see, our custom file is 16 gigabyte,
‫which is actually a lot.
‫So eventually you're going to have to download this
‫during the course, maybe over a course of months.
‫But right now, if you click on the original OVA of Kali,
‫as you can see, it's only 3.7 gigabytes
‫or 4 gigabytes of something like that.
‫And again, right now,
‫you are seeing 2022 in the original one
‫and in our own Kali Linux file as well.
‫And if you're watching this two years later,
‫and if you're still seeing this, then don't worry about it.
‫It means that nothing has been changed.
‫Okay? So let me show you what you're going to see.
‫You don't have to Google this.
‫I'm just showing you.
‫After we install Kali Linux,
‫you will see something like this, okay?
‫Like a interface, like a graphical user interface,
‫like a background.
‫It's just an operating system.
‫And since Kali updates itself as well over the years,
‫they always change how it looks, okay?
‫So, it looked like this before, a different background.
‫Sometimes it looks like much more primitive.
‫Let me show you a screenshot.
‫So, during the course, you can see,
‫I'm using a Kali Linux like this, okay?
‫So this is the old GUI.
‫It has a menu over here at the left-hand side
‫but right now, menu is up there, left hand corner, okay?
‫So, it doesn't really matter.
‫If they change the background,
‫if they change the ordering of the menu places like that,
‫it doesn't matter.
‫If they change the commands, if they change the codes,
‫obviously we're gonna update the course then.
‫But don't worry about the version.
‫Don't worry about the Kali Linux years or stuff.
‫Don't worry about how it looks.
‫You're gonna learn how to use Linux,
‫not only Kali, but Linux in this course.
‫And after you complete this course,
‫you will be able to use any version,
‫any kind of distribution of Linux with minimum effort.
‫So right now, what I would suggest is for you
‫to come over here and download it from the kali.org,
‫okay, and follow along with me during the lectures.
‫But if you get stuck in some point
‫or if you cannot make it work,
‫you're more than welcome to come over here
‫and download our own OVA, which is 16 gig right now.
‫It may change over the years as well.
‫But it will have all the options, all the files for you.
‫Just bear that in mind,
‫if you get stuck, if you can't make it work,
‫come back and just download this and try with that, okay?
‫So that's it.
‫That's all you gotta do right now.
‫Since it's going to take some little bit time,
‫I'd suggest you start the download,
‫and just wait until it's finished.
‫And within the next lecture,
‫we're gonna see how to install it.
‫And during the installation,
‫you might experience many problems as well,
‫and we will have detailed guides
‫how to solve them one by one.
‫So don't worry about it at all.
‫So this is my VirtualBox right now.
‫As you can see, it has a lot of virtual machines
‫inside of it, and yours will be looking like this
‫when you complete the course as well.
‫Right now, I downloaded the Kali OVA from the kali.org,
‫and I will see you in the next lecture.
