Hi and welcome to the last video of section 1 downloading and installing Kalli Linux in the previous
video we learned or recalled the fundamental concepts of digital forensics in this video.
We're going to take a look at how to download the latest version of Kalli Linux from the official website
Crea and configure a virtual machine with Oracle virtual box and finally install Kelly Linux on it.
The first step is to download the latest release of the Kalli Linux distribution from the official download
page to do so.
We open the browser go to Cali Linux web site and then go to the download page.
As you can see the curve version at the moment of recording this video is the 2016 point too.
We select the 64 bit version to download.
Clicking on the link ISO.
But if your computer is older you might need to download the 32 bit version.
There's also a torrent file if you prefer to download it with Bit Torrent.
The file is almost 3 gigabytes so it may take a while to complete the download.
We saved the file in the directory where we want to download it and start the download once we downloaded
it.
We had to verify the integrity of the downloaded file.
Or in other words that the hash of our file is equal to this value.
So we open a terminal and move to the directory where we have downloaded the Iowas file that in our
case is the root directory.
We execute the Shah once.
The shell once and command on the file and wait for the execution to complete.
So now we can compare the two values and see that they are the same.
It means that the file is uncorrupted.
The next step is to create and configure a new virtual machine.
We're going to install Kalli Linux for this purpose.
We use Oracle virtual box but if you prefer using another visualization software like VM where it doesn't
really matter as the steps we follow are very similar anyway.
Installing virtual box is out of the scope of this course.
So if you want to know how to install it on your system please refer to the Virtual Box website.
Assuming that we have virtual box already installed on our machine we open the program to create a new
virtual machine we click on the new button on the toolbar menu and the wizard is started.
We assigned the VM a name.
In this case Kelly Linux and select the operating system type and version which in our case is respectively
Linux and Debian 64 bit.
Next we have to select the amount of RAM memory to assign to the VM here.
The recommended is 1 gigabyte but we should assign as much RAM as possible.
A good choice could be to assign half of the total RAM available on the computer.
In our case we assigned 4 gigabytes of RAM then we have to create a new virtual hard disk for our installation.
Again the recommended size is 8 gigabytes but we should assign at least 20 gigabytes just for the OS.
We click on the create button and choose VDI virtual box disk image as the virtual disk format and then
select the dynamically allocated option i.e. this option allows us to only use the space on the physical
disk as the virtual disk file grows up to the maximum fixed size.
We set up the virtual disk file location and maximum size.
In our case 20 gigabytes and then finally we clicked the create button we clicked the create button
to create the virtual machine as we could see the virtual machine is ready.
At this point the virtual machine is created and we are ready to install the Kalli Linux operating system
on it in the default boot order.
The optical disk comes before the hard disk in the storage pan.
We could see that the optical drive is empty.
We have to associate the Kelly Linux iso file we download with it we click on optical drive choose disk
image and then select the iso file.
This is analoguous to inserting a physical Kalli Linux installation DVD into the physical DVD drive
to perform a native installation of the OS.
Now we start the VM clicky on the start button on the toolbar menu.
The VM the VM boots from the ISO in the virtual optical drive and the installation boot menu is chaud
we select the graphical install option then we select the English language and then United Kingdom for
example.
As a country and British English as the keyboard configuration here additional components are being
loaded and the network is being configured.
We could choose a hostname for the system.
In this case we can leave the callee name for the host and continue.
We can leave the domain name blank.
Now we have to set up the password of the root account.
That's the administrative account and the system default account on Kalli Linux.
We should choose a password that's enough complex that has enough complexity and difficult to guess
continue at this point.
The installer asks us which disk partitioning method to use and we select the first option guided use
entire disk obviously there's only one Virtual Hard Disk to select that we choose to create only one
partition to store all the files for the sake of simplicity.
The installer creates the two partitions the root and the swap partitions we confirm the partitions
writing the changes on the virtual disk.
Confirm yes the partitions are formatted and the files are copy to the virtual hard disk.
After all the data is copy to the disk.
The installer will ask if we want to use a network mirror to install software that is not included in
the installation ISO or to update the installed software.
Then we have to choose whether to install grub boot or not loaded on the master boot record and B.R.
of the virtual disk.
We're going to install it.
We choose to install it on the device corresponding to the Virtual Hard Disk here.
The bootloader is being installed.
Here's the final stage of the installation.
The installation is complete with success.
Now we have a brand new Kelly Linux system on a virtual machine.
Great.
In this video we learn how to download the latest version of Kalli Linux CCRI and configure a new virtual
machine with Oracle virtual box and install the OS on it in the next section we're going to learn about
the acquisition of forensic imaging with DC f LDV so see you there.
