Installing Kali Linux on the Cloud

So, I want to install Kali Linux on the cloud, which… for me is good, but I highly recommend against doing this on any other cloud than your own private cloud.

katoolin

It’s actually pretty simple to get started with Kali, since it’s based on Debian and Ubuntu based distros (mainly debian from what I understand), it’s possible to install the repo’s on both Ubuntu and Debian. There’s even a really nice tool I found on techmint.com explaining the process. Here I am using wheezy 7. I’m pretty sure I could have used Debian, Jessie 8 though.

Step 1. Update repo and install git

# Update your repository
apt-get update
# Install git
apt-get install git

Step 2. Install katoolin from git

git clone https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin.git  && cp katoolin/katoolin.py /usr/bin/katoolin
# Make sure katoolin can be executed
chmod +x  /usr/bin/katoolin

# Start script to install kali
katoolin
