How to Install Kali Linux in VirtualBox (2022.4 Edition)

hello guys in this video I'm going to show you how to install Kali Linux version 2022.4 on virtualbox for those that don't know virtualbox virtualbox is A2 that allows you run multiple operating systems on your host computer so I can run Windows Mac OS and many other operating systems on my host computer using virtualbox now the first thing we have to do is download and install virtualbox to add to your Chrome browser and then search for virtualbox so you can see the first page over here Oracle VM virtualbox now click on it and by the left click on downloads you can see over here so click on downloads and it will take you to this page now you can see this is virtualbox for Windows PC which is Windows host this is for Mac OS for Linux and many other operating systems so click on Windows host and it should start downloading now I already have this downloaded so I'm just gonna cancel it now after downloading the virtualbox we have to download the installation file for Kali Linux 2022.4 now open a new tab and then head to kali.org or you can just search for Kali Linux now you can see the first page over here Kali Linux spent testing and all that which adds to kali.org so let's open it now click on download and we are right here now there are two methods we can use to install Kali Linux now the first option is to go with the virtual machine which allows you to run Kali Linux directly this is a pre-built virtual machine so all you have to do is extract the file and then add it to your virtual machine and that's all actually so if you want to test Kali Linux or you want to just get it up and running immediately then you can go with this first option but if you want to install Kali Linux from scratch allocate everything by yourself then you can go with the second option now I'm going to show both of these methods in this video so you should see the timestamp on the screen now the first method is going with the pre-built version of Kali Linux for virtualbox so let's click on virtual machine on our screen over here I need to take you down here and you can see this is virtualbox calendar looks for virtualbox 64-bit now click on it and it should start downloading now if you don't know if your PC is 32-bit or 64 bit you can just go to the start menu and then search for about PC click on about your PC and you are going to see under system type 64 bit or 32-bit so let's close this now Kali Linux is downloading I already have it downloaded so I'm just going to close it now let's close our browser now open your download folder and then double click on virtualbox to install I already have it installed but I'm just gonna install again that's just an update to it so after installing you should have something like this this is your virtualbox now let's open our download folder and then locate the Kali Linux file we downloaded you can see 2.67 gig now let's extract this file now to extract this file you can use WinRAR or any file extractor you use so I'm just going to use WinRAR to extract this file okay this update was released today is now up to 12 hours so this is actually the latest version of Cal Linux at the moment successfully extracted now you can see a new folder created called Kali Linux 2022.4 now let's open the folder open the folder and you can see two files over here a five of three kilobytes and 13 gigabytes now just double click on the file of three kilobytes and it should add Kali Linux to your virtualbox now you can see Kali Linux has been added to our virtualbox now we have to make few changes to our machine so click on settings up here go to display settings and then enable 3D acceleration down here now go to system and you can see this is the base memory which is the ram so by default it allocated two gigabytes of RAM to our virtual machine but we are going to increase that to let's say 4.5 gigabytes now you shouldn't allocate more than 40 percent of your RAM to your virtual machine allows you to slow down your host computer I have 16 gig RAM on my PC so I can run more than six gig to my virtual machine and everything should be okay now after doing that go to the processor and then allocate the CPU because you want to allocate to your virtual machine now three should be okay for me since I can run up to it so it shouldn't be more than 40 percent now click on OK so once we click on start it should power wrong card Linux so just hit enter [Music] now you can see we are now on the login page that's how easy it is to add it to your virtualbox now the username and password is Kali all in lowercase let's login and here we go so basically this is how to install the previewed version of Kali Linux on your virtualbox now you can use this for anything you can install packages update Kali Linux and do whatever you want to do with your virtual machine and also the storage allocated to Kali Linux on this machine is about 80 gigabytes and you can see the free space currently 61 gigabytes this is because this is a pre-built version of Kali Linux which has already been installed so you don't need to pass through those Studios process of installing Kali Linux now you can change your username change your password customize your Kali Linux to whatever way you want to do if you want to change your username or password or make modifications to your Kali Linux check the description of this video I already made a video covering that now we are done with this installation so let me power off my machine then we will go with the second method of installing using the installer so now we are done with the first method which is installing with the pre-built image so this is a Kali Linux now we are going to go with the second method of installing with the installer so let's open our browser and then head back to the website kali.org [Music] now click on download now this time we are not going with virtual machines we are going with installer images so click on it and you can see this is the installer image you can see Kali Linux 2022.4 now click on the installer over here to get the complete offline installation with customizations so let's click on it and if you start downloading

folder so you can see this is Kali Linux installer which we downloaded now and this is an ISO file you can see dot ISO over here so let's open our virtualbox and then create a new virtual machine so click on new over here now let's call this Kali Linux 2022.4 Now set the version over here to Linux 2.6 3.x 4.x 64 bits make sure the type is set to Linux now click on next so this is the hardware based memory which is the ram so I'm going to give this 5.9 gigabytes of my Ram so you shouldn't give more than 40 of your RAM to your virtual machine LC to slow down your computer you can see I have 16 gigabytes that's why I'm giving it 5.9 gigabytes and the processor same thing as well I'm going to give it three CPUs and then click on next now this is the disk size which is our virtual storage so I'm gonna give this about its 9 gigabytes now you need to give your machine enough space else you encounter issues when running it so let's click on next and then click on finish so we've successfully created a new virtual machine now we have to make few changes here so click on settings up here now go to display and then increase the video memory to 128 megabytes enable 3D acceleration by clicking on this button down here now go to storage we have to add the ISO file so under controller IDE click on the empty disks and by the right click on this disks icon and then click on choose a disk file now this is where we have to select our Kali Linux ISO file we downloaded so locate your download folder and then select the file you can see dot ISO click on open and then click on OK so we've successfully added the installation file so once we click on start we should begin the installation so let's click on start [Music] now we are going with the graphical install so

changes to some of these things even after the installation now we are going with guided which is going to use the entire disk instead of setting up the partition by ourselves so let's continue and this is a dick so make sure it's selected and then continue all files in one partition yes continue we don't want to separate the partitions finish partitioning and write changes to this continue so you can see over here write changes to this let's select yes and then continue and it has started the installation this may take some time but we just have to wait linux2022.4 comes with lots of new
