Dz-Kali #Penetration-Testing #Security-Assessment

In this post, we will import a pre-built virtual machine of Kali Linux and tweak it. Kali Linux is an Advanced Penetration Testing Linux distribution used for Penetration Testing, Ethical Hacking, and network security assessment.

Guest Additions

The Guest Additions are designed to be installed inside a virtual machine after the guest operating system has been installed. They consist of device drivers and system applications that optimize the guest operating system for better performance and usability.

kali@kali:~$ sudo apt update
kali@kali:~$ sudo apt install -y --reinstall virtualbox-guest-x11
kali@kali:~$ sudo reboot -f

Post Installation

Rename the hostname to ‘dz-kali’.
Change the IP address to ‘192.168.56.211’.
