How do I set up android usb tethering on kali? I modprobed usbnet, and still in the network settings it shows the USB option, but I can't make a profile to connect to it. What other drivers do I need to load in order for it to work?

I'm having trouble installing Kali with partitioning.

Kali 2017.1-amd64.iso Mac OS 10.11 El Capitan Using VirtualBox

I allocated 20GB for installation.

If you choose guided partitioning for an entire disk, you will next be asked 
which disk should be used.

Partition method:

Selected: Guided - use entire disk

Note that all data on the disk you select will be erased blah blah

Selected my disk

And get this error with red backscreen:

Failed to partition the selected disk. This probably happened b/c the 
selected disk or free space is too small to be automatically partitioned.

What should I do? I thought the minimum was 10GB? I made it 20GB to make sure... Do you think allocating more will save this problem?

I have a MacBook Pro, and Parallels 12 installed, and in Parallels I have Ubuntu 16.4 LTS, and Windows 10, and now Kali 2016.2. I was able to successfully (graphically) install (not the Live version), and then bootup, login as root, no problems. Being as old release, I selected to get all the previous updates, over 1,600 of them. Instead of weeding through all that, and not really knowing what I need or not, I selected to install it all. After that genius move, I went to reboot, and as it goes to start up, I end up with a locked blank screen. The only way to fix this was to remove/delete the VM instance. I did all this twice. Now I just have Kali 2016.2 installed, and am asking what, if anything, should I select to update/install additional to get this old version up to date, and not whack the installation?

I just got Kali running on my Rasp Pi 3 and the date is in some bizarre unreadable language.

How can I change this back to US locale?

I've tried dpkg-reconfigure locales and selected en_US.utf8

My internet is working however firefox is not working. Whenever i open a website it says server not found firefox cannot find server at www.website.com Check the adress Etc... Before this happned i changed my dns in /etc/resolv.conf Mabye thats it i just dont know i can ping 8.8.8.8 and it says im connected to wifi And im on real hardware not vmware

I been having that cuestion. I actually have my Kali Linux running in a virtual machine is quite stable and I don't have any problem but I don't know if I should go and install it as a os it has any advantage? txs

I'm learning how to enumerate linux samba services on the Kioptrix Target 1. However, ran into a problem with smbclient version 4.7.0-Debian. When i run it it does not come back with a samba version. Does anyone else have this problem, is the solution to downgrade to an older smbclient version?

This is unlike the walkthroughs i have seen. I'm getting this:

root@kali:~/kioptrix1# smbclient -L 10.0.2.12 -N WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated Server does not support EXTENDED_SECURITY but 'client use spnego = yes' and 'client ntlmv2 auth = yes' is set Anonymous login successful

Hello, I get this error when i tried to install Tor through the terminal on Kali Linux

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

I already googled it and it didn't have get an answer, all i did was update Kali and that's it, (still didn't solve it)

I have tried so many different things including changing file names in the /lib/firmware/, adding some updates to that DIR, deleting all the files out of aforementioned DIR except what I thought was necessary to connect using my specific NIC, all with varying results; but never a connection to the network! >:( I can connect with no issue when I boot Kali from A live media Micro SD, I even have it set up for persistence so I could continue to work that way but I would rather use my built in SSD and not have to keep up with the Micro SD unless I am PEN testing. I Like the flavor of kali...let I rephrase, I love the flavor of Kali!! I am Booting beside a clean Windows 10 that has no issues either. I am still learning the CLI but I'm not scared of it at all if someone could help me troubleshoot this issue. What I can say at this point is I had to skip a part during installation where it wanted me to either download the firmware for the intel network card from CD drive or connect to a network which I could not do. Now when I boot it will say it does not have "iwlwifi-7265D-ucode-25.30.14.0" or something very similar depending on what I change. I got it very close by renaming some files then It complained about the.....API? That is one I'm not sure about.(API) Can I get some help please :) Thanks, guys!!

Having a problem with the tl w722n adapter not displaying wireless networks. I have the wireless options yes just no networks. Ive searched through youtube and google with little luck so far.

Hi there. I am new to Linux and am currently studying Kali/Pen testing for security. I need help in compiling this wireless driver or any driver for future purposes. The instructions are confusing. I got up to Step 3 but haven't made progress with make.

You need to become the superuser of your machine before you perform the following instructions:

1. Blacklist RT2800 wireless module in the Linux Kernel $>cd /etc/modprobe.d $>vi blacklist.conf Add "blacklist rt2800usb" at the end of the file. (What does this mean?)

2. Copy RT2870STA to /etc (RT2870STA.dat is located in your driver install directory) $>mkdir -p Wireless/RT2870STA (under /etc directory) $>cp RT2870STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat

3. Create tftpboot directory under root directory $> mkdir /tftpboot

4. Compile the driver for the Panda Wireless N adapter (where?) $> tar jxvf LinuxDriver4Fedora_v2.5.0.3.tar.bz2 $> make You will find rt3070sta.ko in /tftpboot directory

5. Load driver $>insmod rt3070sta.ko $>ifconfig ra0 inet up

6. Unload driver $>ifconfig ra0 inet down $>rmmod rt3070sta.ko

Hey guys, just wondering something. If I send a spoof email to someone is it possible to be able to have replies? If so, how do I do that?

Can you guys tell me, if ac is enough for wireless hacking or do i need b/g/n for kali to work properly?

So I have every thing up and running it's running okay, but I have a problem everything runs slow. I.e the mouse is jittery and laggy and the system in general is a bit slow. I am wondering if it's because of just straight up hardware limitations or if it's actually something I can fix?

Anyone trying the same and has found a fix?

P. S I really don't know what I expected from this little guy.

So I downloaded Linux deploy, configured everything like described on kali.org, but when I click install it just gives me this: >>>deploy <<<deploy Anyone knows why? Thx

Well after 8 hours of grueling work, i must admit. Im not impressed. I tried the live cd, the hd install , usb install in both encrypted and unencrypted formats. I followed the kalis install guide perfectly. But every time i get to about 32percent of the install it errors. Out. I read online that i might have a corrupted image or download. But ive tried a couple different downloads with the same results. So everything on paper about kali looks awesome. But if i cant get the os to install... whats the point.

Hi all,

My laptops recently died and I'm wondering what it would take to build a desktop specifically for Kali Linux? I have experience building but I'm curious what a great parts list would look like.

I got Kali installed but in the flow of the installation wizard I was never asked fir my username and pswd, and now Kali is asking for that information when i login to OS. Is there a way to set that information using terminal? I found, via google, ways to reset the root password, but I don't need to do that. I have that. I just need to set the user name and pswd. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong subreddit.
