Kali Linux🔗

Minimal Headless Kali Linux installation - Works for Cloud VM Installation (NO GUI)🔗

This is a simple guide to install Minimal Headless Kali Linux by converting a Debian Linux to Kali Linux distro without any unnecessary tools. Basicity you install the tools you need.

First of all we will need a clean Debian Linux local or at any cloud provider with ssh access

Let's convert! We will install two packages which allow as to replace Debian's repo to kali repo

apt update
apt install -y gnupg gnupg2
apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 7D8D0BF6
rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list
echo "deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

Now after we replaced the repo to Kali we need to install the Basic Kali Linux core

apt -y update
apt-cache search kali-linux
apt install -y kali-linux-core
apt-get -y update
apt-get -y dist-upgrade
apt-get -y autoremove

Reboot the server to complete the conversion process.

In order to test that you are using Kali Linux

uname -a

After we got our new Minimal Kali ready we need to cleanup some Debian's leftovers to finnish

systemctl stop rpcbind.socket
systemctl stop rpcbind
systemctl stop smbd
systemctl disable rpcbind.socket
systemctl disable rpcbind
systemctl disable smbd

That's It, now we can install any package we need from Kali repo.

Here are some of my personal packages I use daily, you can install with

apt install -y \
curl git open-vm-tools net-tools htop docker docker-compose \
dirb wfuzz dirbuster enum4linux gobuster nbtscan nikto nmap \
onesixtyone oscanner smbclient fern-wifi-cracker smbmap \
smtp-user-enum sslscan tnscmd10g whatweb snmpcheck wkhtmltopdf \
sipvicious seclists wordlists hash-identifier hydra lib32z1 \
android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms \
wifite apktool apksigner

If you need Metasploit, run this to install it

apt install -y metasploit-framework postgresql
systemctl enable postgresql
systemctl start postgresql
msfdb init
msfconsole
