Virtual Machines: How to Install kali Linux on Proxmox

okay so today we're going to be talking about creating a linux vm on proxmox more specifically a kali linux vm i'm going to be using kali linux and paradores a lot for my upcoming exams which i'm going to talk about next week next week i have a video coming out that highlights some of the certificates that i want to take before the end of this year but i figured i'd make a video about it for those of you guys that are trying to set up a linux vm on your proxmox hypervisor more specifically i can linux vm and for those of you guys they don't know how to set up your proxmox server i'll put a link in somewhere here so you guys can take a look at it um the video is divided into several parts so if you want to jump to a specific part you can check the menu in the description and then jump to whatever part you want to jump to that makes your life easier if you're new here my name is paul this channel is about learning it's about breaking stuff it's about fixing stuff it's about failing and figuring figuring out what will fail so if you're new here and you like this kind of things you like tech you like seeing someone feel and then try to figure out how to feel make sure you hit the subscribe button and turning your notifications so with that being said let's get started okay so let's go ahead and get started so the first part this is part one we're going to download kali linux we are going to run the checksum to check and make sure the iso is legitimate and then we are going to upload that iso to our uh proxmox hypervisor so the first thing you want to do is you want to go to caledonlinux.org or cali.org.kellylinx.org sorry cali.org this is the website here if you go to google and type in kali linux or just cali you should be able to see this website and make sure you just make sure you're going to the right website as well so for those of you guys i don't know what kind of linux says kali linux is uh linux is distro that is much more geared towards uh penetration testing towards ethical hacking that kind of thing because it takes all of the tools that you need for ethical hacking all of the the equipments and and necessary things that you need for ethical hacking it takes all of it and put it into one um os and one distro now you can create you don't necessarily need kali linux you can go ahead and say i'm just going to download the linux or os whatever linux os you want you can be ubuntu and then just kind of download each and every one of these tools that you need so if you're scrolling down here for example it tells you some of the tools like hydra john the reaper uh bob sweet and all that stuff you can go ahead and download individually and then just kind of create your own uh ethical hacking or pen testing um os but can linux has done a great job in kind of like having everything in one place so you don't have to worry about downloading things and stuff like that so what we're going to do we're going to go ahead and click on download here it's going to take us to the download page one of the things that i uh one of the things that i want you to keep in mind is that there's different variants different options of um cali linux so if you want something like that pair meta which is what we're going to do so that's what we're going to use uh you have virtual machine uh if you want you want to run in a virtual environment you can run this uh you have mobile you have cloud you have container like docker i play around with docker a lot lately some things that i'm going to talk about too in upcoming videos i've been playing around a lot i've been playing around a lot with docker and trying to understand it pretty interesting technology pretty pretty fascinating so live but uh this one i'm going to be using a lot uh in terms of like you're just installing an usb and you can use whatever computer you're using but you just stick in the usb and say boot from usb and then here you go you have cali linux wsl i think this is windows system uh windows subsystem for linux and this is a subsystem in windows i don't know why you you want i mean i guess you you can if you're running windows all the time and you just want to run linux you have a windows subsystem for linux interesting but if you go on linux go linux don't go no windows up system for linux all right so what we want is the bare metal this tool recommended if you're doing a virtual machine or anything else anything else so what we want is a bmi we're going to go ahead and click on that it's going to take us down here there's different different type of downloads you have the weekly i mean cal linux installation process has evolved so much like the website even is totally different now so you have the weekly so this is uh untested images with untested image with like latest updates and things like that you don't necessarily want that because things might break you have the installer this one is kind of like the a little bit of a stable uh canada install well not a little bit a stable install when in terms of like kali linux itself this is like a stable one and then you have all packages if you want to do something like that so you can download the the download itself from the website here you can do a torrent and of course you can do the checksum which we're going to do later this is the check summary and i'm going to explain that in a minute so first thing we're going to click on download the stuff it's going to download here now before we why this is downloading let's talk a little bit about the checksum so to check some we're going to check that the reason being that when you download something especially when it comes to like ethical hacking tools and stuff like that you always want to you you want to be in the habit of checking the checksum and make sure it match the checksum on the the iso that you downloaded but as you guys don't know what a checksum is the checksum is basically like this number that is on the os itself the iso itself and if any change was to be made on the iso or file or digit anything that gets added to this iso that was not originally there when it was created there was no original idea when it was created any sort of file whatsoever it would be different from this checksum so that tells you that hey this iso has been tampered with um i should not use it i should not create my os or use this to to build my cali linux os so that's something that you need to get in the habit especially with hacking tools ethical hacking tools and pen testing tools always try to check to check some there's a whole bunch of ways that you can do it you can do it in a linux command line you can do it in like windows command line there's a whole bunch of like tools that you can download but one of the things that i do here is um just for just for this video really quick uh you can go to this website i will include this link in the description box below and then you can choose what uh hash you're using for this one if you go back you say like it's using shark 256 some so you just come to the website and you check shot 256 and then you just download you just grab the file from your computer so we're going to wait till this file is done downloading we're going to grab it it's going to go through the file and it's going to output the checksum here and then we're going to compare that to what kali linux have here it has to match before we use it if it doesn't match we know that somebody has tampered with the download and somebody that has tampered with the iso and it's not something that we should use okay so the download is done so now what we are going to do is we are going to download uh uh download here you guys can't see it so i'm gonna move i'm going to try to move myself over here a little bit i said there it is so uh the download is done here it's in our download folder so now we're going to go to this website again remember that there's a whole bunch of different way that you can check a checksum i just wanted to make it simple for this video so that's why i'm going to this website but you don't necessarily have to use this website there's a whole bunch of other tools that you can use to check your checks from so just just keep that in mind you don't necessarily have to use this website so we're going to go ahead and see um on drop file we're gonna go ahead and go to downloads and we're gonna grab this file right this is the cali linux file and then we're gonna go ahead and click open it's gonna run the the hash in here it's gonna run uh that has against it and you're gonna check it and it's gonna give us the checksum right so if we go back now what we want to do we just want to copy that remember the goal is to make sure this match all right we're going to go back this is going to take a while to do its thing it's at 14 so we're going to give it some time to finish and once we come back it's going to spit out a number a series of numbers and we want to make sure that number man okay so as you can see it has spit out a number a series of number now we want this number to match now you can go ahead and check one at a time if you want to if you if you fancy that but what i'm going to do is on mac you do control f on windows you can do i mean on mac you can do command f on windows you can do control f and this little box will come up here you just want to paste that number in there and as you can see it matches exactly this number so that's what we're looking for but again you can go through it and make sure it matches everything but you can see it matches exactly this number and that's what we want we know that the file is legitimate we know that the file has not been tampered with um so you should be good you should be good to go to upload this to your proxmox server so that takes us to the other part which is going to approximate server you're going to go to your proxmox server here um for those of you guys that don't have a proxmox server i will link somewhere up here that you guys can see how i set up my approximate server this is what i'm using here um as you can see i have different different um stuff right now i actually do have cat linux os that i installed a while back but it's not on i have this windows that i use for ccna and stuff like that i have a docker oh docker whatever you say it have an accent so yeah i've been playing around a lot with docker to kind of understand it i wouldn't uh walk domain this is something that i'm playing around with um building a domain and things like that but these are the vms that i have in here right now plan to grow plan to build a lot more uh but docker is pretty interesting that's the one i've been playing around with a lot anyways that's beside the point so what we want to do is we want to go to local right this is our our local storage so what we want to do want to click on upload and what we want to do is we want to select and it's going to take us to our download file and we're going to click on this download file so basically what we're doing right here is we are uploading the the iso that we downloaded it will check the checksum we're uploading it to proxmox so we can use it to create a vm let me do that one more time so i'm going to click cancel i'm going to click cancel you and proxmox now you're going to go to local you're going to go to it's going to bring you here you're going to go to content you're going to go to upload you're going to go to iso right um because it's not a container and then you're going to go to select and then you're going to go to the folder where you download your kali linux click click on academics click open and then you just click on upload it's going to go through the process of uploading the files we're going to let it do its thing and we're going to come back and pick up flood is finished so as you can see we now have the cali linux iso right here is about 4.24 gigs so we're good to go now we should be able to see it when we are installing or when we're trying to install our kali linux we should be able to see this is when we should be to choose and we should be selected and then go through our installation process so the next thing we're going to do is we're going to create a vm now there's two ways couplers wait a couple of couple of ways to create a vm in proxmox you can right click and click on your node right click on your node and click create a vm um or you can go through the process of let me do that so you can go through the process of coming just go back you can go to the process of coming up here and then click on create a vm whichever way you want to do it so right here click on create a vm and it's going to take you to the process of creating a vm so now we're going to go through the process of creating the vm which is part two of this video so we're going to go through the process of creating the vm and then after that we're going to do the installation so to create the vm you want to select the node that you want to use i only have one node here so i just like that this is internal number so that means that this is the number that um proxmox used to kind of label your vm so you can keep things organized for 100 101 102 103 104. if you want to delete one of three it will repopulate 10.3 again i deleted 100 so it went back to 100. you can put numbers on this if you want but i say just keep it that way and then the name you can call it whatever you want so we can say i want to call it something let's think of something fun let's just go right here right uh let's just call in my name and then once you do that this is the name to help you recognize it here right so here it would appear here we'll have the number and then it will have the name of the vm you can call it whatever you want right and then we're going to go to os um you don't have to select anything else here you don't have to do anything else here you can go to os for os you can see that it selecting the local right this is where we upload i can linux so we should be able to see our kali linux iso which is right here that's perfect that's what we want we click on that now we have our kali linux iso attached to this um to this vm now we can choose to use no vm we can choose to use cd or dvd it can pass through uh something to think about not going to talk about in this video but maybe i make a video on another day you can use that you can just choose linux because that's what we're using linux os you can choose the corner here i'll go to system for system you don't really have to do anything you can choose different graphics card if you want you can do whatever you want here but you don't necessarily have to i'm not going to do anything you just go to the next part which is hard drive for hard drive you can select the type of hydra that you want to use i'm going to leave it as default you can tell it what storage you want to use this is my storage pool um you can just select on that right and then you tell it what big you want the hard drive to be so in my case i'm just going to see 100 100 all right and then you can leave this as default you can play around with this if you want on the cache but i'm just going to leave it as default go to cpu you can use as much core here as you want so if your hypervisor whatever it is that you're using have a lot more core you can use all of it if you want uh you can lose some of it if you want uh you can always change it as well so it doesn't necessarily have to be well if you choose eight here it's always going to be eight forever if you choose ten years always only ten where that's not that's not the case you can change it when you want that's the beginning of having a vm so we're just gonna put eight and then for memory it's giving me two um gb right now i'm gonna keep it at that all right you don't necessarily need a lot you can add as much memory as you want here but i don't necessarily need a lot this is just for demonstration uh network you can say hey i don't want this to have a network device i don't want this to have a network device like a nic card or anything like that i don't want it to be attached to any network just installer os that's it uh you can choose um whatever bridge you have here i only have one uh vlan you're gonna be like vlan tagging if you have vlan set up on your network i don't uh and then model here you can choose different model if you want to but again i'm just going to leave everything as default you can play around with this as much as you want if you want to and then just go to confirm confirm is going to tell you that these are all the settings that you do have right these are all your settings if you want to make changes you can always make changes if you want to double click on it right don't click on it doesn't do anything but you can go back to like hard drive cpu memory and then change as much as you want before you click on finish all right you can um click on start after created and then after it's created it's going to automatically start so you don't have to go back and click start but that's fine we want to click start because i want to show you guys something else before i get started um advanced you can go to events but you don't really need to do anything like that so just click on finish here and that's done so if you see our windows vm has been created it's right here it says 100 all right uh and in a couple of seconds there you go it's gonna have the name that we gave it which is uh let me which is my name i'll go to uh we're gonna talk about a couple of things here for you to be familiar with right so you have summary um you have the summary of the vm itself remember any vm that you click on it's going to give you a summary of that vm so you have the summary you have to console the console shows you when the machine is boot up hardware you have all of the hardware you can make changes to it here so if you double click on here you can change the memory the memory you can change the cpu if you want here you can play with the bios here if you want to display so you can make a whole bunch of changes here and you can increase memory increase hard drive as the use case of your vm grow you don't necessarily have to but you can if you want to that's the flexibility again of having a vm so once that's done there's all the settings here that you can play around with um snapshot for example you can take a snapshot of the with the vm snapshot are very useful if you're making a change or you're running uh updates it's always good to do um snapshots so you can revert back if something happened and you have a whole bunch of other scenes firewall and permissions and things like that so once we are 100 satisfied with satisfied with our um vm and we'll check the hardware and make sure it is exactly the way that we want to we're just going to go ahead and click start and then we're going to go to console you're going to see that the vm has started this takes us to part three we're going to go through the whole installation process and then walk through it step by step but before we do that i'm going to click here i'm going to make this full screen all right so it's take over the whole screen so you don't see any more proxmox so what we want to do here is um we want to install it so now you can choose different different set of installation that you want but we want to do graphical installation you can choose kind of like the default on graphical installation if you want to but we want to just do a graphical installation so i'm going to go ahead and click enter take a couple of seconds once you click enter for it to go through things once you click enter it's going to take a couple of seconds and it's going to go to the next part it's going to start loading the whole process of going through installation so in this part we're going to go through the whole installation and install it and then you know have it up and running so it's excellent for a language gonna go ahead and choose english click continue united state you're gonna click continue american english you're gonna click continue uh it's gonna load all right this is the first part it does take it does take some time to go through the whole installation process so just keep that in mind i might want to kind of spare maybe like 20 30 minutes to go through the whole installation it's gonna install a couple of files and it's gonna access a couple of questions all right i'm gonna go through this thing uh this is a good time to say if you haven't done so already make sure you hit the like button if you like the video and subscribe if you want to see awesome videos like this all the time okay it's gonna access for host name uh we can call this whatever we want a host name is whatever is as the name that appears in your network so if you're on another computer this is the name that you're going to see and say hey this is um my linux computer so i'm just gonna maybe add that in there i guess so you can call it whatever you want there's a name for you to recognize this machine on your network right so you can call it whatever you want let's click continue it's gonna access for domain name i don't have a domain set up on my uh in my own network but if you do you can put that information in here click on continue full name you can call this whatever you want i'm gonna call it test uh my name again all right you're going to know my name by the end of this by the end of this tutorial right so you can call it whatever you want and then let's click on continue this is just the name um the account name the first and last name of the accounting that it's going to be created on the on on kali linux on the os so you click continue it's going to select the username for the new account it normally uses your first name so you can call it just test that's fine click continue password this is very very important obviously i'm doing a demonstration here so i can put whatever i want because i'm when i'm done i'm going to delete this no probably almost going to delete the sound on this vm so password you can choose whatever you want if you don't want to you can click continue but it's very very important especially with hacking tools make sure your password is very secure make sure your password is very very secure so that's one thing to keep in mind uh my password my super secure password it's gonna be password one two three you'll be surprised at how many people use password one two three all right just gonna put password one two three all right and then we're gonna go continue all right it's gonna ask you to select your time zone um i'm just gonna paste on time and then click continue it's gonna go through the process of installing more files doing more stuff we're gonna let it do that um and then come back when it's ready it's ready all right go ahead and click use the entire disk because again we're using a vm when we set um the vm size the disk size on the hardware part of things when we create the vm initially so we wanted to use the entire disk so we're going to go ahead and click and use entire desk and click on continue it's going to select the disk that we have created this is this that we created and told it to you so we're going to click continue right it's going to say all files in one partition that's fine you can separate it if you want um if you have a reason to do separation you can do that but i'm just going to say all files in one partition and click continue it's basically telling you here that hey this is what you're installing right now are you fine with that do you want to continue um if you do it's not going to be changed that kind of thing it's giving you the same one in here hey if you have dual boat and things like that you choose to install it on your whole partition do you want to do that you just want to click yes and click continue it's going to go through the process of installing it on that drive uh this part actually takes a while and we're going to let it do its thing and we're going to come back once it's done so the first part is done the first installation part is done so this part is basically telling us that hey do you want to install a little bit more feature then comes than the default feature um i like choosing this part right here just know that if you install the more stuff you install the more space it takes so and but i like it not to go back and say hey i need this tool and it's not there so it tells you hey default selection plus additional tools that's fine with me and also i like using the kd plasma i don't like using but i like using having options so basically what these are is a different desktop environment linux is a beautiful thing that allows you to have different desktop environment and i'll show you guys that too once we log in once everything is installed so with windows you have this one desktop environment and you you like it you don't like it that's your problem windows don't care i mean microsoft don't care right but with um linux if you don't like a desktop environment you can change it and they have so many so much desktop environments like it's a lot of them so this allows you to install the genome and then it allows you to install the kd plasma i will kind of kind of show you guys how to switch between desktop environments once we're done so a different different desktop environment once you select that and again you don't have to but once you do you can click continue okay so this part is actually what display manager you want to use you can choose between the three um you have a set of three installed so it's actually which one do you want to use for default uh you can just click the first one and then just click on continue again if you want to choose a different one here you can i just make sure you read up on them before you do that but you could just choose the first one and just click on continue and it's going to go through the process of installing a couple more files and let those thing and i'm going to come back hey guys so the installation process is almost done that took a while and this is why i said that if you are going to set up kali linux or any other linux or any other os just kind of spare about 30 minutes to one hour uh we're at the part right now always telling us that hey the grub the grub bootloader is going to be installed uh and it's telling us that hey if you have any other operating system there it might be temporarily on portable so that's something to keep in mind a little bit of story or a little bit of explanation what the grub portfolio is so when you set up the computer you have the bios it does the checking of the hardware and checking off a whole bunch of other stuff uh to make sure everything is working correctly before handing that over to the uh uh the grub bootloader so the group would loader basically kind of display all of you it's kind of like this graphical interface they kind of display all of your kernels so if you have when you install your your linux operating system you install it with a specific kernel but every time you upgrade it you have another kernel that's installed there so you can go back and say hey i want to go back to the original kernel i want to use that original color to grab bootloader display that in the graphical and if it's for you initially but the computer it allows you to choose between those kernel but also if you have another os installed on the computer as well or installing the same computer that you have your linux install the grub wood loader will allow you to see that and be able to kind of have dual boat so it allows you to choose between that and say hey um i want to go and use my windows um os instead of the linux os so basically this is what it's telling you that hey if you were installing this if you have something else installed in here just keep that in mind it might make it on purpose that's basically the whole concept we don't so we're gonna click uh yes that's fine you say install plug the grub would load it to your primary drive so that's fine because we don't have any other os installed so that's something to keep in mind click on continue we say entire device manually we click on continue and then you can go back if you don't want to install group bootloader uh to your primary device uh you want to click yes you want to click on continue uh and then you don't want to enter in manually you want to select your your parameter that's what i didn't do the first time so this is good this is why i like doing this kind of videos because you see where a mistake is made and say oh i didn't do it right but no cut in here we're going to include that in there so yeah so you go back and then select your drive and then you just click on continue and it's going to go through the rest of the installation process and it's going to access to reboot the the computer once everything is done so let's let it let's let it do its thing and once it's done we're going to go ahead and reboot the computer and we'll get to see the beautiful login interface and we're going to log in for the first time okay it is finally done we're done with the installation so now we can go ahead and restart the computer and um get to see the beautiful login interface so let's go ahead and say continue and it's gonna reboot it it's going to go through the process of reporting it and it's going to take us beautiful proxmox and it's going to take us to the login interface uh here you just click ok and it's saying welcome to grub and it's going to take us to the login interface the beautiful login call linux so this is the kalinix interface this is our cali linux login user that we created uh one of the things that i do want to show you guys if i click on that remember when i tell you that the beautiful thing about linux in general is that you can choose different different desktop environments so we did install several desktop environments we can choose between them and say we want to use this or we want to use that and we want to use that so if you don't like one you don't necessarily let me move this because i think you guys are not able to see that let me move myself over here again over here uh and then you can choose between different interface so i mean desktop um interface here so you can choose whatever you fancy you can check each and every one of them and then there's a lot more that you can install so if you don't even like this one so you can check some other ones and see how you can install it on your um os so we're gonna go ahead and just click you know that's fine and then just click login uh super secure password which is password one two three and then we're gonna go ahead and click enter and it's gonna log us in and this is our first time logging in and if everything works correctly we are going to i'm going to move myself to the middle again so we can see everything so we're going to move ourselves to the middle so this is the beautiful this is the also beautiful kali linux again if you don't like this interface there's a whole bunch of interface that you can use you don't necessarily have to use this but this is the beautiful um kali linux here uh it's based off of debian um and it has all the tools that you need for it to go hack and so that's why it's such a powerful tool right so this is basically how you install kali linux on a proxmox vm thanks for watching the video guys if you haven't done so already make sure you hit that thumbs up button if you have enjoyed the video that will help me out a lot it will help this video out to help more people to see it but it also helped the channel grow if you do like my content and you want to see more content like this every single week because i do come out with content every week i come out with content about the certificates that i pass on the ones that i'm going to take review coming soon a lot of like things that i do a lot of things that i buy to play around with i'm going to review them so if you do like things like that and of course if you do like seeing someone failing and someone's struggling and someone talking about the hard part about it not just the easy part the struggle to get the certificate and everything else make sure you hit the subscribe button make sure you turn on your notifications so you get notified every time i come out with something awesome again thank you guys for watching as always do not forget to stay geeking i will see you guys next week peace
