Kali Linux on Vagrant
Kali Linux provides an official vagrant box, making it easy to use Kali Linux from a vagrant box.
Create image
To create a vagrant VM that runs Kali, use the vagrant init command and pass it the name of the image, which is kalilinux/rolling or kalilinux/rolling-light:
vagrant init kalilinux/rolling
or
vagrant init kalilinux/rolling-light
This will download the Kali Linux image. Once that's finished, you can start the vagrant machine.
Start box with GUI
To start up the Kali virtual machine,
vagrant up
This will also start the VirtualBox GUI.
The Kali folks have enabled the GUI by default, since many tools in Kali require a GUI
Start box without GUI
To start the Kali machine without the VirtualBox GUI being started, modify the Vagrantfile to include the following:
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
...snip...
# VirtualBox specific settings
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
# Hide the VirtualBox GUI when booting the machine
vb.gui = false
end
end
