‫In this lecture,

‫I'm going to show you how to install Kali Linux

‫as a virtual machine inside Windows.

‫Skip this lecture if you're running Apple Mac OS or Linux,

‫as I will cover that in the next lectures.

‫Now I already have it downloaded in here.

‫And as you can see, the file has a dot 7 Z extension.

‫This is an archive that contains the actual virtual image

‫of Kali.

‫We did that to compress its size

‫so that it doesn't take a long time to download.

‫So now that we have it downloaded,

‫we're going to need to install a program

‫that can uncompress 7 zip archives and show us the contents.

‫To do that, we're going to go to Chrome

‫and you want to go to 7-zip.org.

‫I will include that in the resources of this lecture.

‫And you want to download the version

‫that is compatible with your operating system.

‫I have a 64 bit operating system,

‫so I'm downloading the 64 bit.

‫One click in here will download it for us.

‫And once the download this complete,

‫we can simply click on it to install it,

‫give it permissions and click on Install.

‫Once the install is complete,

‫we're going to click on close and we're going to go back

‫on our downloads directory.

‫And right now, because we installed 7 zip, this program,

‫we're going to be able to uncompress this archive

‫and see the contents inside it

‫and see the virtual image inside it.

‫So I'm going to right click.

‫And as you can see, I have an entry called 7 zip now.

‫And if I hover over it and click on Extract here,

‫it will uncompress that image and reveal its contents.

‫And perfect.

‫As you can see now, we have a new directory

‫and you can see the extension now is dot vmwarevm.

‫So as mentioned in the previous lecture,

‫VMware is the software that we're going to use

‫to run different operating systems as virtual machines.

‫And this file right here is designed to run inside VMware

‫as a virtual machine.

‫So in order to run it, we're going to have to go ahead

‫and install VMware.

‫Now again, I'm going to include the link in the resources.

‫I have it opened in here and all you have to do

‫is click on the Download for Windows.

‫Give it some time to download.

‫Perfect. Now the download is complete.

‫We can view it in our downloads,

‫or we can simply just click on it here to run it.

‫Give it permissions and similar to installing

‫any software on Windows, you really don't need to do much.

‫We're simply just going to click on next, next, next, next.

‫Accept the agreement. Next, next, next.

‫And let it install.

‫The installation is complete.

‫We're going to click on Finish.

‫And now we should be able to run this virtual machine file

‫that we downloaded.

‫The dot VMware VM file using VMware Workstation Player.

‫So we're going to double click it to start it.

‫And I'm going to minimize this.

‫We're going to click on Open Virtual Machine in here,

‫or you can go on the player file and open.

‫We're going to navigate to the location

‫where we downloaded the virtual image of Kali

‫in my downloads.

‫And as you can see, we have it in here.

‫Keep in mind, it's the dot VMware VM file.

‫So it ends with dot VMware VM.

‫We're going to click on it.

‫We're going to click on Open and inside it,

‫we have another file.

‫The only one file that we can select,

‫we're going to select it and click on Open.

‫And if you get no errors, as you can see in here in my case,

‫that's it.

‫The machine is now installed and ready to be used.

‫Now, before running it,

‫I'm going to click on Edit Virtual Machine settings

‫or right-click on Settings, just to give you an idea

‫of what the settings look like so you feel more comfortable

‫with VMware.

‫Because modifying virtual machine settings

‫is always the same regardless

‫of what type of virtual machine it is.

‫So as you can see in this window, first of all,

‫we can modify the amount of memory

‫that the virtual machine has.

‫And this machine is set to two gigabytes of memory

‫by default.

‫That is enough, but you can increase it up or down

‫using this slider.

‫You can also modify the amount of processors

‫that the machine has.

‫So as you can see,

‫this one has two processors assigned to it.

‫That is plenty. It's enough as you'll see,

‫but you can give it more if you want to give it more.

‫Another really important option is the Network Adapter.

‫And as you can see, this is set to NAT.

‫And this setting will basically create a virtual network

‫where my host machine is going to be the router

‫for this network.

‫And then all the virtual machines

‫are going to be clients connected to this network.

‫So they're going to get internet connection

‫from my host machine.

‫And at the same time, all of my virtual machines

‫will be connected to the same virtual network.

‫This is very handy because my virtual machines

‫will be able to communicate with each other.

‫And therefore, we'll be able to use the Kali machine

‫to hack into the others.

‫We'll be able to test network attacks and do much more.

‫So this setting will first

‫allow my virtual machines to have internet connection

‫and it will also allow them to communicate with each other

‫through this virtual NAT network.

‫Now this virtual network will rely on the connection

‫of your host computer.

‫So it will not need any extra interfaces.

‫It will not need any extra adapters.

‫And as far as the virtual machines are concerned,

‫they are connected to an ethernet network, but in reality,

‫they are connected through the host machine.

‫You can also modify the display settings in here,

‫if you have a bigger screen or a smaller screen.

‫And I usually like to tick this box in here,

‫the Accelerate 3D graphics.

‫So we're going to make sure that it is ticked.

‫And that's pretty much it.

‫So we're going to click on 'OK.'

‫And like I said, you actually don't need to modify

‫any of these settings.

‫I just wanted to show you

‫what kind of settings we can set for these virtual machines.

‫But once you're ready to run the virtual machine,

‫we're just going to click on the green Play button

‫to start it.

‫Now I'm going to click on inside and click Enter

‫to start Kali.

‫And I know it's starting very small.

‫This is because I have a high resolution screen.

‫It's probably going to start in the normal size for you.

‫I'm just going to zoom in for you.

‫And perfect. We have the login screen here for Kali.

‫So the username is R-O-O-T and the password is T-O-O-R,

‫the reverse.

‫We're going to hit Enter. And perfect.

‫As you can see now,

‫we are running this Linux operating system

‫as a virtual machine inside my Windows operating system

‫in here.

‫And we're going to use this Linux operating system

‫for hacking as we go through the course.

‫Now before we wrap it up, I want to go into full screen.

‫So we're going to click on the player

‫and we're going to click on Full Screen.

‫And as you can see,

‫this will automatically go in full screen.

‫So again,

‫I'm still using Kali within my host operating system,

‫which is Windows.

‫And in most cases, Kali will look normal.

‫But as you can see, in my case, the icons are very small

‫and the text here on the top is very small

‫and that's because I have a 4K display.

‫So we're going to need

‫to manually modify the display settings.

‫And to do that, we're going to right click,

‫go to Settings, click on Display in here from the left

‫and we're gonna set the scale to 200.

‫I'm going to click on Apply.

‫We're going to keep the changes.

‫And perfect. Now Kali looks normal for me.

‫You don't have to do this if Kali looked normal

‫from the start.

‫Only if you have a high resolution screen,

‫you might have to do this.

‫Now I know this operating system

‫might look a little bit confusing and scary,

‫but don't worry about it at all.

‫I will teach you how to use it step by step as we go

‫through the course.
