medudder Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Hey guys, I was just wondering if it would be possible to install Kali Linux modules onto the MKV. Of course there wouldn't be a UI but given that MKV is Linux based perhaps it might work? Or does it all depend on the module? I know it's a long shot, but just wondering. thanks!

Sitwon Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 The MkV is running a stripped-down version of Linux on a different processor architecture compared to Kali Linux running on your desktop or laptop. If you tried to run Kali packages on the MKV they would likely not run at all (because they are compiled for a different kind of processor) or be missing a lot of dependencies.It is possible to setup a cross-compiler and build modules for the MKV from your desktop/laptop, but porting software can be a pretty tedious process.

Sebkinne Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 No, unless the executable is compiled for the ar71XX architecture (which it won't be). What you would have to do (as sitwon said) is setup a cross-compiler. Best Regards, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
