Kali Linux

Hacker Virtual Machines, Containers

on termux you use proot-distro for installing kali and blackarch linux.

install via apt install proot-distro

use podman over docker, since we do not need gpu here, and want faster pulling speed.

recent version of podman requires extra layer of domain/index specification before searching and pulling images.

3
podman search docker.io/kali
podman pull docker.io/kalilinux/kali-rolling

if you want to run network scanning commands like nmap, you would grant the container sufficient permissions:

1
2
podman run --cap-add=NET_RAW --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --rm -it docker.io/parrotsec/security

metasploitable2, parrot linux also have docker images. more cybersecurity/ctf related images to be found.

run this query in search engines:

1
2
site:github.com cybersecurity docker images

https://github.com/VaultSEC/osint

https://github.com/PberAcademy/Dockerimages

on ubuntu you use docker for pulling kali and blackarch linux images. latest images are pushed to docker hub.

sudo docker pull kalilinux/kali-rolling
# kali-rolling does not contain all packages
# run inside container: apt update && apt install -y kali-linux-headless
sudo docker pull blackarchlinux/blackarch

it is always recommend to update and upgrade the blackarch you installed.

ttyd -p <port> -c <username>:<password> <shell_path>
