# Kali Linux VM Setup

## Background
For this course, I will utilize a kali linux virtual machine, by means of the VirtualBox Pre-built VM provided by kali. I choose this approach because I am already familiar with VirtualBox and I already have a kali VM's running successfully by these means (for a prior course) on both my linux laptop and linux desktop hosts.

## Configure

I've run the following instructions to bring things up to date
```
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade -y
```
_updates went smoothly and did not produce an interesting output_

Now I've run the setup script as suggested.
```
$ curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dkmcgrath/courses/main/netsec/setup.sh
$ chmod +x setup.sh
$ ./setup.sh
```

_I've run the setup which took some time, and rebooted. After running setup again, it finishes in 6 seconds and seems to indicate everything is good. In my case, the output this time was about 500 lines and did not all fit on the screen_
