Troubleshooting
Some users have reported being unable to use any options except for 3, 4, and 5. Nothing happens when choosing other options (1, 2, 6, etc.).
Verify the download hash
Hash-based verification ensures that a file has not been corrupted by comparing the file's hash value to a previously calculated value. If these values match, the file is presumed to be unmodified.
macOS
- Open Terminal
- shasum -a 256 /path/to/file
- Compare the value to the checksum on the website.
Windows
- Open PowerShell
- Get-FileHash C:\path\to\file
- Compare the value to the checksum on the website.
Running Kali on VirtualBox or Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
Some users have reported the fix is to use the VMware image instead of WSL.
Other users have noticed issues when running a pre-made VirtualBox Kali image, instead of running the bare metal Kali ISO through VirtualBox. (https://www.kali.org/get-kali/#kali-bare-metal)
If you are unwilling or unable to use VMware Workstation to run Kali, we encourage you to try running a Kali ISO as a Guest VM in VirtualBox.
- Download the bare metal ISO provided by Kali.
- Verify the ISO hash (see above).
- Start a new Kali VM within VirtualBox with the bare metal Kali ISO.
There will be some basic installation instructions you will be required to fill out during the installation.
Note: If you have problems accessing root after setting up a bare metal ISO, please refer to: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-reset-kali-linux-root-password
