I’m doing this on my Mac OS X Yosemite Host machine but you can download the version for Windows too. Go to and download the latest copy of VirtualBox to your computer. I just want to walk you through setting up your test environment so you have everything you need to get started. We won’t get into any hacking stuff today though.

Once we install VirtualBox, we’ll boot Kali, install it on our virtual hard drive, login as root and start using Kali Linux. Haha, excuse the sardonic comment but sometimes the obvious isn’t obvious. I think it goes without saying that to setup Kali Linux in VirtualBox you’ll need to things: Thankfully, when it comes to installing Kali Linux the process isn’t grating at all. Ugh… just thinking about it makes my hair bristle. There was seriously nothing more grating than that little troll woman’s voice. Picture a little old lady with a raspy Boston accent flinging grease in my face as fanned her hands motioning me to hurry up. Speed it up, you’re not fast enough, speed it up Vonnie!

So I responsible for flipping burgers and making sure they were done and prepared for pickup.

In this guide, I’m going to show you how to install Kali Linux in VirtualBox so you can have a test computer to stage your attacks.Ī decade or so ago I used to work at Hardees Fast Food in Myrtle Beach South Carolina. In the last guide, I gave you a sweeping overview of the powerful digital forensic toolset known as Kali Linux.
