Note: This guide was written for Kali Linux 2019.4. The core dkms build method still works on current Kali, but package names and kernel headers may differ slightly on newer releases. I am planning a number of articles which focus on using aircrack-ng and hashcast to recover WPA wireless security passwords. However to get into that you need to have a specific wireless device which supports monitor mode and packet injection. I decided on the Alfa AWUS036AC, but some work was required to get the drivers installed. ...

Note: Python 2.7 reached end-of-life in January 2020 and Python 3.7 followed in June 2023. On current Kali Linux, Python 3 is the default — python3 is available out of the box and python typically symlinks to it already. This article is kept for historical reference and for anyone on older installations. I have covered changing the default version of python in Debian, however for those looking to Google for a quick fix on Kali, I hope that this reaches you well. ...

Note: This article covers Ubuntu 19.10 and Python 2.7, both of which are end-of-life. Ubuntu 19.10 reached EOL in July 2020; Python 2.7 reached EOL in January 2020. If you’re on a current Ubuntu LTS (22.04 or 24.04), Python 3 is the default — no changes needed. This article is kept for historical reference. Much to my surprise, I found that a fresh install of Ubuntu 19.10 was set to use python 2.7 as the default python instance. ...

I spent more time that care to admit trying to setup a shared folder between my windows host and Kali VirtualBox VM. So hopefully the Google algos pick this one up and save you the time trying to find the right packages to fix this a clipboard sync. apt-get update apt-get install -y virtualbox-guest-x11 Go for a quick reboot once the above commands are complete and you should have clipboard sync (text) and shared folders should mount successfully. ...
