Build a Kali VM

  • OS Image to use: kali-linux-2022.4-installer-amd64.iso (or whatever the latest is)
    * Available at (https://www.kali.org/get-kali/#kali-platforms)
  • Guest OS Family: linux
  • Guest OS version: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (64-bit) (VMware)     or 6.x - 2.6 Kernel (ProxMox)
  • Hardware settings: 1 CPU / 4GB RAM / 100 GB HD / 2 NIC
    • Add a second Network Adapter
      • Set the Network Adaptor 1: “AdminNet”
      • Set the Network Adaptor 2: “Grayspace”

During install, select “Install”

When it asks which network interface to select as primary, select eth1 The network will try to establish an IP via DHCP and this will fail.
On the next screen select “Do not configure the network at this time”

  • For user, enter kali
  • For password, enter toor

Then accept all defaults until you get to “write changes to disk”, change this to yes and hit continue
At “choose software to install” accept defaults and continue
At “Install the GRUB boot loader to your primary drive” select yes
At “Device for boot loader install”, select /dev/sda.
At install finished, select continue to reboot.

Configure networking

We didn’t set up networking during install, so we need to do that now. Open a terminal, and do the following
     sudo zsh
     passwd
     vi /etc/network/interfaces
Set “interfaces” to the following.
          auto lo
          iface lo inet loopback

          auto eth0
          iface eth0 inet dhcp

          auto eth1
          iface eth1 inet static
              address 5.29.2.2/20
              gateway 5.29.0.1

Save changes.

Next, you need to set the DNS resolver
     vi /etc/resolv.conf
Set “resolve.conf” to the following.
          nameserver 8.8.8.8

Save Changes.

Next, restart networking and check if you got a DHCP lease on eth0
     service networking restart
     ip a
You should see that eth0 was given an IP in the 172.30.0.x/21 range via dhcp.

Then test the proxies ability to reach the internet from the kali box.
On kali open the firefox browser, edit settings, scroll down to the Network Settings section and click “Settings"
Then put in a proxy of 172.30.0.2 port 9999, make sure to check “Also use this proxy for HTTPS”

Then open a new tab and go to www.google.com and see if it loads. If it does then the Admin-net-DHCP server and IA-Proxy are both working correctly.

Move on to the next build.
