Installing Kali Linux on Windows 10 using VMware Workstation Player

what do you think does wearing a mask make you a hacker Wow does wearing a hoodie make you a hacker you need to learn how to program [Music] zebra what are you doing you happens talking funny voices whoa do hackers we're funny mosques do you have his break networks is it important for children to learn how to code Wow look at that code that you wrote it's amazing code it's a very good hacking program that you wrote this is a bra that's ridiculous that they think that you should wear mosques when you have that you have a green screen yeah it's funny that you have to dress up to be a hacker that you have a green room it's silly the best way to start hacking or to learn to hack is to start with Tully Linux and I'm gonna teach you I should say this in a funny voice I'm gonna teach you Kali Linux now perhaps I'll be a better hockey about speaking a foreign language you reckon our is Manor Alice budget as Manor that's just silly [Music] now you don't need fancy dress to become a hacker forget the hoodie forget to the mosque forget all that stuff one of the best ways to learn how to hack is to use Kelly Linux so in this video I'm going to show you how to get Kelly linux working on a Windows 10 laptop there are various ways to install Kali Linux what I'm going to show you in this video is how to download a prebuilt Kelly olynyk's VMware image you could download a virtual box image if you prefer or a hyper-v image I'll show you those installations in separate videos in this video I'm going to show you how to get Kali Linux working using VMware Workstation player the VMware Player is free software that you can download from VMware comm as long as you don't use it for commercial reasons you can download it and use it for study purposes for free this laptop is physically connected to this Ethernet switch I'm controlling in the laptop via wireless or Wi-Fi but I'm going to show you how to hack this cisco switch in subsequent videos and do things that you shouldn't perhaps do unless you've got permission to do them now disclaimer please don't use what I'm teaching you here for malicious activities use it to become an ethical hacker or to protect networks don't go out there and do things that you shouldn't be doing you could end up in trouble you can't defend networks if you don't know how networks can be hacked so again make sure that you use the knowledge that you gained here for ethical hacking purposes not for blackhat hacking now if you enjoy this video please subscribe to my youtube channel please like this video and please click on the belt to get notifications when I post a new video without further ado let's get started setting up Kali Linux on a Windows 10 computer easiest way to get started is to simply search for Kelly in Google first hit is Kelly org so you could just go directly to Kelly dot org or search for Kelly in Google go to downloads download Kali Linux scroll down and what you'll see are links for VMware and VirtualBox these are hosted on the offensive security a virtual machine downloads page so click on that link on the offensive security website scroll down and you'll see VMware images VirtualBox images and hyper-v images again in this video I'm going to show you how to download and use VMware images I'm going to download the 64-bit version because I'm using Windows 10 64 bit on my PC look at properties I'm using Windows 10 64 bit operating system this laptop has 8 gig of ram and an i7 processor I'm going to click on the Kali Linux VM where 64-bit image and as you can see the image is now being downloaded you could also use a torrent if you want to you but I'm simply going to download the image from the offensive security website this is a 7z or 7z file so you'll need some software to extract the images from that compressed file I'll show you that in a moment the file is 2.1 gig in size so just be aware of the size of the image that you're downloading now i'm going to download winrar to extract about a 7z file you could use winds up or other software to extract the file but by default Windows isn't going to be able to extract it that 7z file so you'll need to download software to extract it so I'm going to download winrar not going to buy it I'm simply going to download the software it's only three Megan sighs so I'll open the Downloads folder I'll double click on the winner off file I'm asked to do I want to allow this app to make changes yes I D I'm going to click install and by default you can associate all these extensions with WinRAR I'm not going to do that I'm only going to associate 7z and click OK software is now being installed now at this point Kali Linux has been downloaded so we can see that it's a 7z file once again I'm going to extract the file to the local directory a subdirectory is created you simply need to wait now for the files to extract I'll double click on that directory we've got a subdirectory and inside there we've got a whole bunch of VMDK files vmx file and some other files but we can't open this because we haven't got the VMware Workstation player downloaded so I'm going to download VMware Workstation Player and then import those files into VMware Workstation player now the reason you need hypervisor software such as VMware Workstation player or hyper-v or VirtualBox is Kali Linux by definition is running on Linux but here I'm running Windows 10 so I need a hypervisor or hypervisor software that's installed on top of Windows so we have the physical hardware Windows is installed on the physical hardware and then we have this additional software called a hypervisor that then allows me to virtualize or run a guest operating system on the host operating system so Hardware host operating system hypervisor and then a guest operating system running on top of it so we've got Windows and then Linux running on top of the hypervisor software so we need to download hypervisor software such as VirtualBox or VMware Workstation player to download VMware Workstation player go to vmware.com go to downloads free product downloads and select workstation player in this example I need to download a VMware Workstation player for Windows so I'm going to click the download link the software is downloaded it's about a hundred thirty-eight Megan sighs so here it is I'm going to double click on the executable click install anyway click yes to allow this app to make changes to this device the VMware Workstation installation wizard starts in this example I'm going to mainly use the defaults so I'm going to click Next you need to accept the license agreement so read through that click I accept to the terms of the license agreement and click Next I'm going to leave the installation directory at default and click Next I'm not going to join the VMware customer experience Improvement Program click Next now before I continue the installation I want to show you that in control panel additional interfaces are added when you run this installation that's normal under Network and internet review Network Status and tasks change adapter settings after the moment I have a Wi-Fi connection and a USB connection which is currently unplugged additional network interfaces are going to be added when I install VMware Workstation player at this point I'm going to leave the shortcuts at default click Next and click install files are copied a VMware Workstation icon is added the virtual network drivers are installed as you can see an Ethernet 3 virtual network adapter has been added so has Ethernet for the installation continues and that's now finished so I'm going to click finish the installation of VMware Workstation player is fairly simple I basically accepted the defaults during this installation what I'm going to do now I start up a VMware Workstation player the VMware Workstation player is free software for non-commercial use if you're going to use it commercially you need to add a license I'm not going to do that I'm simply going to click continue and then click finish and there you go VMware Workstation player has now been installed on this computer we told that we could use VMware Workstation Pro I'm not going to do that because this is paid software so I'm going to click remind me later now you can leave the Kelly Linux files in the Downloads directory I'm not going to do that I'm gonna move them to documents the virtual machines I've got some other virtual machines here but I've essentially moved the Kali Linux of VMDK files and other files to My Documents okay so now that we've got Kelly Linux downloaded the next step is to import it into VMware Workstation Player so I'm going to open up a VMware Workstation player go to player file open browse to my virtual machines directory Kali Linux and I'm going to open the vmx file so I'm going to select that file and click open Kali Linux has now been imported into VMware Workstation player now you could start the virtual machine at this point but I'm going to edit the virtual machine settings by default to gig of ram is allocated to this virtual machine you could increase that if you wanted to I'm not going to I'm going to leave it at the default number of processors is 4 again I'll leave that at the default disk space is 80 gig network adapter is currently using NAT which means that the virtual machine shares the hosts IP address you could bridge it to your physical network if you wanted to but again I'll leave that at the default and click play virtual machine we asked whether we've copied or moved the virtual machine I'm going to select copied because I copied this from the internet now I'm told that the following software is available for download of VMware tools for Linux I'm going to download and install that software I'm told - that the updates are completed so I'm going to click close I'll make this window smaller to demonstrate that you can resize the window in VMware Workstation player and the Kali Linux desktop automatically resizes based on the size of the window that you've got ok so the username is root password is root spelled backwards so T oo r or tor click sign in what I'll do at this point is maximize the window and as you can see Kali Linux has booted up so I've successfully got Kelly Linux running on a Windows 10 computer within VMware Workstation player I'll open up a terminal and what I'll do here is make it bigger so that it's easier to read so I'll set a custom font of bold and I'll make this quite a bit bigger click select click close so what I'll do is ping google.com and notice I'm able to ping Google from Kelly Linux this device is using a NAT IP address it's sharing the IP address of my PC but note I can get access to the Internet a great thing about having VMware tools installed is you can copy text from Windows to Linux and back again so as an example if I select this text and copy that in Windows so this is notepad on Windows I can paste that text or I can copy text from windows into Linux so copy that into this window so I'll clear the screen and paste that in it's not a valid command but it shows you that I can copy from Windows into Linux I can also copy from Linux into Windows to shut Kali Linux down click on this down arrow and click on the power button and then either restart Kali Linux or power it off I'm gonna click OK because we told that these devices were connected to Kelly and there you go Kelly Linux has now been shut down to start it up simply open VMware Player select Kali Linux and click play to boot Kali Linux up as you can see the server is booting up and we can log in again with username root password T o R root backwards and there you go Kelly Linux has booted up once again ok so that's how you get Kelly Linux installed on a Windows computer using VMware Workstation player in subsequent videos I'll show you how to connect Kali Linux to this physical network and how to hack a physical Cisco switch now if you enjoyed this video please would you like it please would you subscribe to my youtube channel and please click on the bell to get notifications I'm David bumble and I
