Some experiences in installing kalilinux2017.1 vmtools in VMware, and installing vmtools in kali2017

Recently, due to the ransomware virus, I learned a lot about security training from a security expert. In today's society where networks are so developed, our information and our privacy can be easily leaked. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to security.

Kali linux was mentioned in the report, which is a good practical tool for students who want to learn about security defense. After the meeting, I downloaded a free trial. However, many problems have been encountered during installation in VMware. Today, let's talk about what we 've experienced when installing vmtools!

The version I downloaded and installed is kalilinux2017.1, which is the latest version. Because there have not been many contacts with linux before, and you are not very familiar with installing software in linux. You can only search for step-by-step tutorials by yourself. Install vmtools .) I first installed vmtools. I do not know that this version of vmtools is no longer a vmtools, but a new open-vm-tools-desktop. Vmtools was installed at the beginning and may not have been fully uninstalled. An error will be reported every time it is shut down and restarted. There is no way to reinstall the system and directly install open-vm-tools-desktop. In this way, no error is reported.

What I want to tell you here is: when installing vmtools in kalilinux2017.1, do not install old versions of vmtools, directly update the source and update the system, then apt-get install open-vm-tools-desktop. After installation, reboot. In this way, you can drag the file.
