Installing Kali Tools on Fedora

Katoolin by LeonSec would be great if it was made for Fedora…

Anyone know of a similar package to do the same thing? So much effort to install each package individually.

Thanks

Have you considered running a KVM and installing Kali there?

Could be the easiest solution.

Not the answer you were looking for, but as @Scar suggested a VM could be useful :wink:

Yeah, VM would be an easy option but I just really like Fedora :frowning:

update: Is there like a “Unity” option, like how there is on VM Workstation on Windows?

If you like Fedora, maybe try this release in a KVM?

The Fedora Security Lab provides a safe test environment to work on security auditing, forensics, system rescue and teaching security testing methodologies in universities and other organizations.

The spin is maintained by a community of security testers and developers. It comes with the clean and fast Xfce Desktop Environment and a customized menu that provides all the instruments needed to follow a proper test path for security testing or to rescue a broken system. The Live image has been crafted to make it possible to install software while running, and if you are running it from a USB stick created with LiveUSB Creator using the overlay feature, you can install and update software and save your test results permanently.

Well there’s seemless mode in VirtualBox which basically means you get a seperate panel on your host, no merging menus tho.
There’s also a bunch of tools bundled for fedora all ready, just dnf groupinstall security-tools. no need to install each one seperately.
Or, debootstrap install kali, and you get kali to chroot into, that’s also a preconfigured route to take.

The problem with VIrtualbox would be that some applications and tools of Kali - Reaver for instance - need direct access to the WiFi card. Metasploit should work though^^

You can always use an external wireless card :wink:

@Kane_Gilbert Kali is a proven tool, it works. I second Fedora Security Labs, although I was leaving the InfoSec realm when we started using it. I love Fedora, too, however, so I appreciate what they’ve done. The major red team/offensive security certifications use Kali so if that’s what you’re going for I would just “suck it up” and use a VM.

If you want to get practice building a tool set you can always get Kali Light or BackBox and build it up from there.

There’s always the possibility of setting up pass through for the WiFi card if needed.
