Kali linux and ssh issue

[heartjc]

Hey everyone,

I have been trying to set up Pineapple using Kali Liniux. However, when I tried to ssh using putty, kali is not recognizing port 22 and timed out. I have been looking at the forums for this issue and followed some of the solutions. But still kali is not able to connect to Pineapple.

Any idea what could be causing the issue?

 

Thanks

what are the steps you use/do when trying to login?

For security reason, SSH isn't enabled by default. If you want to run this:
# systemctl start ssh.service

If you want to enable ssh at startup:
# systemctl enable ssh.service

If your want to enable "root" login:
# sed -i 's/PermitRootLogin without-password/#PermitRootLogin without-password/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
# systemctl restart ssh.service
