How to Create a Kali Linux VM

This guide is being created to give guidance on ways in which you could create a [Kali Linux][kali] penetration testing VM (Qube) in Qubes OS.
Kali Linux is the most widely used penetration testing Linux distribution.
There are multiple ways to create a Kali Linux VM. One way is to create a HVM and use the offical ISO to install the system or convert a [Virtual Image](https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-vmware-virtualbox-image-download/). Another way is to clone the Qubes OS Debian image and turn it into a Kali Linux distribution.

2. Clone the Qubes OS Debian image and turn it into a Kali Linux distribution using [katoolin]. Explained [here](#katoolin).
3. Clone the Qubes OS 'jessie' Debian template, upgrade it to 'stretch'
(Debian 9.0) and turn it into a Kali linux template. Explained
[here](#debian-upgrade).

## Installing Kali from a Debian template <a name="debian-upgrade"/>
This section will explain how to create your own [Kali] Linux VM as a VM
template. The basic idea is to personalize the template with the tools you need
and then spin up isolated AppVMs based on the template.
This has been tested on Qubes OS 3.2.
The steps can be summarised as:
1. Install Qubes' Debian 8.0 (Jessie) template
2. Upgrade the template to Debian 9.0 (Stretch)
3. Install kali through the ``kali-linux-full`` package
4. Use the template to build appVM so that you can maintain isolation between
e.g. pentesting jobs
Steps to build a Kali template
------------------------------
### Get the GPG key
1. You'll need to fetch the Kali GPG key from a dispVM as the template you'll
build won't have direct internet connectivity unless you enable it from the
firewall:
# in a dispVM
gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-key 7D8D0BF6
gpg --list-keys --with-fingerprint 7D8D0BF6
gpg --export --armor 7D8D0BF6 > kali.asc
2. **DO NOT TURN OFF** the dispVM
3. Make sure the key ID is the valid one listed on the [Kali website]. Ideally,
verify the fingerprint through other channels as recommended on that link.
Once you have the key, keep the dispVM on as you'll need to copy the key over
to the Kali template.
### Customize the template
1. Install [the debian-8 template] if not already installed
2. Clone the debian template and start a terminal in it:
# in dom0:
qvm-clone debian-8 debian-9
qvm-run -a debian-9 gnome-terminal
# in the debian-9 template terminal:
# substitute jessie for stretch in
sudo -s
sensible-editor /etc/apt/sources.list
sensible-editor /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qubes-r3.list
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
# (hat tip: [the Debian wiki])
Restart the template when done and make sure you can open a terminal.
3. Prepare the kali template:
# in dom0:
qvm-shutdown debian-9
qvm-clone debian-9 kali-tpl
qvm-run -a kali-tpl gnome-terminal
3. Add the sources to install Kali linux to the `kali-tpl` template:
# in kali-tpl:
sudo -s
echo 'deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib' >> /etc/apt/sources.list
4. Copy the Kali key from the dispVM into the template:
# in the dispVM:
qvm-copy-to-vm kali-tpl kali.asc
# in kali-tpl:
cat /home/user/QubesIncoming/dispXXX/kali-key.asc | sudo apt-key add -
The last command should return `OK` on a line by itself.
5. Update the system:
# in kali-tpl:
sudo -s
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
6. Shut down the `kali-tpl` template:
# in dom0:
qvm-shutdown kali-tpl
### Install the Kali tools
At this point you should have a working template and you can install the tools you need.
1. [resize the template] if you plan on installing the full Kali distribution. For example to install `kali-linux-full` you must **grow** the size of the VM system from 10Gb to at least 20Gb.
1. Install Kali linux:
# in kali-tpl:
sudo apt-get install kali-linux-full
2. [optional] Customise the template's home directory (e.g. install your licensed copy of Burp Suite Professional)
### Use the template
The template is ready to be used. You can now spin up AppVMs based on the `kali-tpl` template.
