Debian focuses on stability and security of its releases. As a result, new features are not added to existing installations, and new releases are not frequent. Software packages are updated for security releases only. There are also testing and unstable versions. These are development versions, which could become the next main version. Testing and unstable versions are updated frequently, but may be unstable.
Offensive Security is the team behind Kali Linux, a Debian-based system. Kali is the preferred weapon of choice on Null Byte, and you can install it as your primary system (not recommended), use it with dual boot, use it in a virtual workstation, or create a portable live version on a USB flash drive.

We'll be walking you through a very basic installation today, just enough to get you up and running to follow along with Null Byte guides. There are actually many things that can be done to customize the installation, but we just want the quick-and-dirty process.
If you want to run an older version of Kali, you can visit its index of older image versions. While Kali 2020.1 replaced root users with non-root users as the default, you may want to install the last 2019 version instead, which will still give you most of the newest features offered. In this guide, I'll be installing the 2019.4 version as my primary system since I want to keep the root user default.
The process for installing Kali Linux will be different depending on what version you chose. For help on installing Kali in VirtualBox, see our past article on using Kali in VirtualBox on a Mac; the article is slightly old, but the process is generally the same and works similarly on Windows. For help on installing Live images, the guide by Kitten, a Null Byte reader, may be of some help, as well as Kali's own documentation.
I've downloaded the Kali 2019.4 64-Bit Installer image and burned the ISO to a disk, and that's what I'll be showing off today. After opening the installer, the boot menu offers several options. We'll keep it simple and do the graphical install. A minimum of 20 GB disk space is recommended. But just so you know:
Then, set a password for the root user. Remember, if you're installing 2020.1 or higher, there is no root user by default, only a non-root user, but you can set up a custom password for the user as well.
Once Kali boots, we'll be presented with a new login prompt, which looks much different than on Kali version 2019.3 and older. If you installed 2019.4, the credentials would be the hostname you chose and the root password you created, or the non-root user and password you created. For 2020.1 and later, "kali" and "kali" are the default standard user credentials for certain installs like in VirtualBox. (The default root user credentials used to be "root" and "toor.")
The icons, file system, and terminal all come with new themes. You may want to take some time to find your way around the new environment. Also, there are tools we suggest you install right away on your Kali build, including Git, a terminal multiplexer, Tor, a code editor, and so on.
Kali now comes with an undercover mode, designed to look like Windows to the casual viewer. This is handy if you need to look less suspicious, whether in public or during a professional pentest. Simply enter kali-undercover in the terminal to run the script and transform the environment.
Kali now includes PowerShell, making it easy to work with and execute PowerShell scripts right on the system. It can be installed with the package manager. If you're not a root user, add sudo to the beginning of the command below.
If you installed 2020.1 or higher, you had to create an admin user versus a root user. To use Kali at the root level, you can use sudo -s or sudo -i or sudo su to get it in your current shell. You could also create a password for root once you have the root prompt; use passwd root and create the password. Afterward, you can just use su to open root access in your shell.
Kali has a few other new features as well. The kernel had been updated to version 5.3.9 in 2019.4, but it's now currently at 5.5.17 as of May 13, 2020. Another addition is the use of BTRFS (b-tree file system), which allows the ability to roll back changes on a bare metal install, much like the snapshot feature used in a VM.
In this article, we covered the latest Kali Linux releases, their new features, and walked through the basic installation any newbie could work with. For more advanced installations, for example, if you want to verify the checksum, dual-boot Kali with Windows, Mac, or Linux, encrypt the disk, and so on, check out Kali's official documents.
Unlike most Linux distributions (which make heavy use of GnuPG for ensuring untampered software within their package repositories), Mac OS X does not bring GnuPG with the operating system, so you have to install it on your own.
Suports SSL. Supports HTTP proxies, so you can see what Nikto is actually sending. Host authentication. Attack encoding. Update local databases and plugins via the -update argument. Checks for server configuration items like multiple index files and HTTP server options. Attempts to identify installed web servers and software.
Systemd in bullseye activates its persistent journal functionality, by default,with an implicit fallback to volatile storage. This allows users that are notrelying on special features to uninstall traditional logging daemons andswitch over to using only the systemd journal.
The Debian Med team has been taking part in the fight against COVID-19by packaging software for researching the virus on the sequence leveland for fighting the pandemic with the tools used in epidemiology; this workwill continue with focus on machine learning tools for both fields. The team'swork with Quality Assurance and Continuous integration is critical to theconsistent reproducible results required in the sciences.Debian Med Blend has a range of performance critical applications which nowbenefit from SIMD Everywhere. To install packages maintained by the Debian Medteam, install the metapackages named med-*, which are at version 3.6.x.
With this broad selection of packages and its traditional widearchitecture support, Debian once again stays true to its goal of beingThe Universal Operating System. It is suitable for many different usecases: from desktop systems to netbooks; from development servers tocluster systems; and for database, web, and storage servers. At the sametime, additional quality assurance efforts like automatic installationand upgrade tests for all packages in Debian's archive ensure thatbullseye fulfills the high expectations that users have of astable Debian release.
If you simply want to try Debian 11 bullseye without installing it,you can use one of the available live images which load and run thecomplete operating system in a read-only state via your computer's memory.
Should you enjoy the operating system you have the option of installingfrom the live image onto your computer's hard disk. The live imageincludes the Calamares independent installer as well as the standard Debian Installer.More information is available in therelease notes and thelive install images sections ofthe Debian website.
In some cases, a successful installation can still have display issueswhen rebooting into the installed system; for those cases there area few workaroundsthat might help log in anyway.There is also anisenkram-based procedurewhich lets users detect and fix missing firmware on their systems,in an automated fashion. Of course, one has to weigh the pros andcons of using that tool since it's very likely that it will needto install non-free packages.
In addition to this, the non-free installer images that include firmware packages have been improved so that they can anticipate the need for firmware in the installed system (e.g. firmware for AMD or Nvidia graphics cards, or newer generations of Intel audio hardware).
The installation images may be downloaded right now viabittorrent (the recommended method),jigdo, orHTTP; seeDebian on CDs for further information. bullseye willsoon be available on physical DVD, CD-ROM, and Blu-ray Discs fromnumerous vendors too.
As always, Debian systems may be upgraded painlessly, in place,without any forced downtime, but it is strongly recommended to readthe release notes aswell as the installationguide for possible issues, and for detailed instructions oninstalling and upgrading. The release notes will be further improved andtranslated to additional languages in the weeks after the release.
Kali Linux also has decent documentation compared to numerous other open source projects. There is a large, active, and vibrant community and you can easily install Kali Linux in VirtualBox on Windows to begin your hacking exploits right away.
As for software, OpenMandriva improves the OM Welcome, which is an on-boarding tool that makes it incredibly easy for new users to do things like install software with a single click. Beyond the welcome app, OpenMandriva includes LibreOffice 7.1, Krita 4.4.2, Digikam 7.2, SMPlayer 21.1.0, VLC 3.0.12.1, Falkon browser 3.1, SimpleScreenRecorder 0.4.3, and much more. Also included with OpenMandriva is Desktop Presets, which allows users to easily customize the appearance of the Plasma Desktop to look and feel similar to other desktop environments.
Beyond software and tools, one aspect of OpenMandriva Lx 4.2 that might excite a number of users is that the port to 64-bit ARM processors is complete. At the moment, installable images are available for PinebookPro, Raspberry Pi 4B and 3B+, Rock Pi 4A, 4B and 4C, Synquacer, Cubox Pulse, and generic UEFI compatible devices. The ARM port will make it possible for the developers to even target smartphones (such as the PinePhone).
2. Please note that you need to install guest x86 Ubuntu 14.04 image as Spotify can run with the guest Ubuntu only. Therefore run install-exagear.sh script with the following option in a directory with deb packages and one license key: 2ff7e9595c
