whitehat Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) I just logged in to see what you guys thought of Kali :) It's so ironic --> I finally found an actual business reason to need Backtrack (or at least metasploit) but it was blocked by the evil company firewall and it takes like a week to given have them consider unblocking it.... but no one thought to block Kali :) !! I like the updates except for the name. They should've just called it BT6 in my humble opinion, but it's just a name I guess. I love that WiCD has fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinally been replaced by NetworkManager!!! It never made sense for an Wireless Pen Testing platform to lack a half decent network adapter (they were on crack the day they picked WiCD). You can even use a VPN without learning a long workaround from Darren! On a related note, I need to open a thread on how to do a special keylogger with the version of Metasploit found in Kali... help me out bros!

Im not customer service for Kali.org, but if the download(is a tar) and doesn't open, its most likely incomplete or corrupted. Make sure the file you downloaded, has a proper matching hash - http://docs.kali.org/downloading/download-official-kali-linux-images direct downloads - Cdimage.kali.org If winrar doesn't work, try 7zip. Personally, I'd download an ISO, and do a manual install in Vmware on my own. Edited March 20, 2013 by digip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pwnd2Pwnr Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Not sure if anyone else had the issue; but check your MD5... you will get a really screwy install that will lock up your bootloader. I downloaded it from source three seperate times and didn't check the md5 the first two attempted installs. Secondly, not to be the "where is the tool that..." guy; but why isn't geoiplookup available off hand? Still can't get the city feature to work, but I am sure I will resolve it eventually.
