Kali Linux 1.0 Rookie Toss notes (2013.3.21 update)

Rootoorotor Yesterday Kali Linux 1.0, the approximate configuration process is recorded, hoping to contact or use the Kali Linux students have some help.

Please note:

1. This article is for Beginners Tutorial , no technical content, nothing blind toss, feel fun ... if you can use Debian Linux skillfully or use Arch Linux, Gentoo, or your own LFS you can ignore this article.

2. If you use Kali Linux only as a penetration test, Rootoorotor recommends that you download the Kali Linux VMware version in kali.org directly to the virtual machine (and of course dual systems).

3. If you just want to try out or feel the Linux desktop environment, I suggest you use Ubuntu, LinuxMint, Deepin Linux, Fedora, Debian, openSUSE.

4. If you are an information security enthusiast, and have a little experience with Gnu/linux, want to use Kali Linux as a daily learning and use , then this article you are suitable for your reference Oh ~

5.rootoorotor Contact Gnu/linux Release of the time is not long, is also a novice. If you find this article has omissions, welcome to remind! I can't thank you enough ~

A variety of hacking software in 6.kali Linux This article does not discuss

Kali Linux Introduction:

Http://cn.docs.kali.org/category/introduction-cn

(Official documents)

Kali Linux Downloads:

http://www.kali.org/downloads/

Install Kali Linux:

Please refer to the official documentation and search online for "Deiban Linux installation Tutorial" or "Debian Windows dual System".

For example: http://wenku.baidu.com/view/2b5b3149767f5acfa1c7cd51.html

It is highly recommended to refer to the official online documentation:

Http://cn.docs.kali.org/category/installing-kali-linux-cn

A friend without Linux installation experience is recommended to start with a virtual machine

Rootoorotor downloads the Kali Linux 1.0 64-bit version and enters the Kali Linux default desktop environment (Gnome-fallback) after it is installed:

Then open the terminal, enter

Cat/etc/apt/sources.list

See if there's any in there. Three lines Kali official source address (if it is a disconnected installation, the default source of Kali may not be written to this file), if not, please enter these three lines in the/etc/apt/sources.list.

Deb Http://http.kali.org/kali Kali main Non-free contrib
Deb-src Http://http.kali.org/kali Kali main Non-free contrib
Deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib Non-free

After the addition of the system can be updated, the terminal input:

Apt-get Update && Apt-get dist-upgrade

Installing the BCM43XX Series Wireless Card driver:

Because my laptop is slag, Kali does not recognize my wireless card by default (Broadcom BCM 4312)

Aptitude Update && Aptitude Install Wireless-tools

Aptitude Install Firmware-b43-lpphy-installer

Log off or restart the computer after completion, enter in the terminal to see the wireless Card driver installation is complete.

For the BCM43XX series of wireless card drivers, refer to the Debian official documentation:

Http://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx

After the installation is complete, restart the input in the terminal:

Iwconfig

See if the wireless card is recognized

To install Nvidia graphics driver Please refer to my previous blog post:

Kali Linux 1.0 Installing NVIDIA graphics drivers

Chinese Culture:

Kali Linux internationalization is really good, when installed if you choose the Chinese language, entered the system has been found that the completion of the Chinese. If the installation is not selected Chinese then please refer to the method of the system language is set to Chinese:

Click on the top right corner root--system settings--region and language--click "+" button--chinese (China)--select--chinese (Simplified), restart the computer.

If not, it is possible that the Chinese package is not installed and runs in the terminal:

Dpkg-reconfigure locales

Chinese Iceweasel browser (Firefox)

Apt-get Install ICEWEASEL-L10N-ZH-CN

In the prompt box, pull down, start with the full selection of ZH_CN, then OK, R and then select ZH_CN when setting up the local Chinese language environment. GBK or ZH_CN. UTF-8 OK, if the prompt is already installed, follow the first steps to enter system settings set to Chinese.

Input Method Installation:

IBUs

Apt-get Install IBUs Ibus-pinyin

Or

Fcitx

Apt-get Install FCITX fcitx-pinyin fcitx-module-cloudpinyin fcitx-googlepinyin

After the installation is complete, open terminal input:

Im-config

Confirm the manual configuration, choose your favorite Input method,

Then reboot the System ~

If you are using IBUs:

Right click on the Input Method icon in the upper right corner--preferences--Input Method + Chinese--advanced--Check all program sharing using the same input method

If you are using FCITX (small penguin):

The little penguin does not need to do too much configuration, after reboot can be used. Of course you can also click the small penguin Input tray icon, do some input method configuration, such as font, skin and cloud input tips, etc.

I personally like FCITX, because with the cloud input, feel more fluent than IBUs.

Create a normal user (not necessary):

Kali Linux, like Backtrack Linux, uses the root user by default, and if you want to use normal users like other Linux distributions, follow these steps:

1. Establish an ordinary User:

Open Terminal:

AddUser User Name

：

To open the sudo command for the newly created account:

Under Terminal input:

Visudo

Press I after entering edit mode (insert), and then add a new sudo user below the root all= (All:all) All of the files such as XXX User: xxx all= (All:all)

(All is defined in the file Visudo to give the user all command permissions)

：

When finished, press ESC to enter command line mode, and type: W to save

After saving the new setup can use the sudo command, restart or logout to switch to the newly created user.

(Note: When using a normal user, the default permissions are low so that some programs do not work properly, which requires the sudo command to execute, such as sudo apt-get update, or use the SU command to switch to the root user in the terminal)

Then copy the configuration file from the original/root/directory to the newly created user directory (/home/the newly created user name) and modify the owner to the newly created user

Terminal input (Root permission):

cp-rf/root/.*/home/New user name

Chown-r New user name: New user name/home/new user name

This allows the configuration of the normal user to be completed.

To open the standard mode for GNOME 3:

The desktop environment for Kali Linux has been upgraded to Gnome 3, but it runs in fallback mode by default. To temporarily switch to the GNOME3 standard mode, enter the terminal:

Gnome-shell–replace

Gnome 3 's standard mode supports some desktop effects and many Gnome-shell plugins, if you find it useful please enter the following command to enable the system to automatically enter the Gnome-shell standard mode at startup.

Gsettings set Org.gnome.desktop.session Session-name Gnome

To restore the default desktop, enter:

Gsettings Set Org.gnome.desktop.session session-name gnome-fallback

Log out or reboot and go to the desktop to go directly to the mode you want to switch.

For more information on how to customize Gnome, please refer to:

Https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME_%28%E7%AE%80%E4%BD%93%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87%29

In addition, if you really do not like the Gnome-shell desktop environment, you can refer to this or self-surfing internet search

Http://cn.docs.kali.org/live-build-cn/%E5%AE%9A%E5%88%B6kali%E7%9A%84%E6%A1%8C%E9%9D%A2%E7%B3%BB%E7%BB%9F

Some common software:

1. Software from the official source (can be installed directly via Apt-get install):

Apt-get Install Gnome-tweak-tool

(Gnome-shell management software can modify fonts, manage plugins, and manage desktop themes.) Necessary! ）

Apt-get Install Gdebi

(with this installation software will not be installed in the terminal dpkg-i, provide graphical software installation method)

Apt-get Install Nautilus-open-terminal

(right mouse button opens terminal in current directory)

Apt-get Install Flashplugin-nonfree

(Browser Flash plugin)

Apt-get Install synaptic

(New Rieter Package Manager)

Apt-get Install File-roller

(compressed file management tool)

Apt-get Install Amule

(Electric mules)

Apt-get Install remmina*

(Remote Desktop + extension)

Apt-get Install Geany

(a lightweight IDE, if you like to toss Emacs or vim, you don't have to install this.)

Apt-get Install Bluefish

(a powerful web editor)

Apt-get Install Meld

(a visual document and directory comparison, merging tools)

Apt-get Install audacious
(a lightweight music player)

3. Install QQ2012:

Kali Linux 1.0 (64-bit) installation QQ2012

4. Install WPS Office for Linux:

Kali Linux 1.0 (64-bit) installing WPS Office for Linux

5.Virtualbox Virtual machine:

Before use, you must first

Apt-get Install Libqt4-opengl

Https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

The Gnome3 has an expansion system that allows you to install extensions online,

Gnome Extensions website

Some landscaping work:

After entering the standard mode, the mouse to the upper left corner of the screen to open the program window, click All the program will see a lot of full screen black dragon icon, feel slightly ugly

If you want to hide the icon, you can open the System Tools-Main menu to choose Hidden, if you use this tool when you do not see the Kali Linux menu, please download my modified file into/home/your username/.config/menus folder, and then use the combination key ALT + F2 input r--Return, can be restarted Gome-shell

Then you can hide the icon by reopening the system tool-the main menu, removing the construct √:

: http://dl.vmall.com/c09noj4d81

(Note: "." The directory or file at the beginning is hidden, press ctrl+h to view it, or enter LS-A in the terminal)

Install the Faenza icon:

wget Http://faenza-icon-theme.googlecode.com/files/faenza-icon-theme_1.3.zip

Unzip Faenza-icon-theme_1.3.zip

chmod u+x INSTALL

./install

Then follow the prompts to install and replace the icon with the Gnome-tweak-tool tool after the installation is complete:

Optimize font display:

Kali Linux default Chinese font display has been quite good, but I personally like the Wenquanyi Zen Hei font.

Apt-get Install Ttf-wqy-microhei Ttf-wqy-zenhei xfonts-wqy

Open this page after installation is complete

Http://wenq.org/cloud/fcdesigner.html

Set your preferred font priority to the highest, then click "Generate" to save the. fonts.conf file into the home/your user record, preferably the root directory is also a copy, because some programs are running in the root account.

Finally, change the font in the Gnome-tweak-tool tool

For Deiban font display optimization, you can look at this:

Http://edyfox.codecarver.org/html/debian_testing_chinese.html

If the font shown above does not meet your needs, you can toss the Debian font rendering infinality patch (a well-known font rendering patch in Fedora, rendering the effect very good)

Before using this patch, please apt-get install devscripts install package build script, and then according to Dpkg-checkbuilddeps show the lack of dependencies on the apt-get installed what, the steps are relatively simple this article does not do a detailed description

http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=88545

Post-render display effects:

To modify the startup resolution:

Feeling the resolution of the boot menu and TTY compare the egg ache? You can modify the following methods as follows:

(Root privileges Run)

1. Edit/etc/default/grub This file using the editor

For example, I use VIM

Vim/etc/default/grub

Find #GRUB_GFXMODE =640x480 Uncomment the "#" in front of this line and change the following number to a suitable value, not too high, such as 1024x768. This value also affects the resolution of the Grub boot menu and the text in the console.

2. Modify/etc/grub.d/00_header This file

Vim/etc/grub.d/00_header
Find the keyword "set Gfxmode=${grub_gfxmode}" (remove the double quotes), and then add a new line below this line, with the content: "Set Gfxpayload=keep" (minus the double quotes)

3. Update the GRUB configuration

Update-grub

Summarize:

If using Kali Linux with the daily use of the system, according to the above configuration is similar, I will continue to add.

So far, the Kali Linux desktop environment is basically tossing and finishing:
