Kali Linux VMware Images are missing, there are .ova files both 32-bit and 64-bit.

Maybe I am wrong but these are virtualBox images.

Can someone please confirm if these are the wrong links?

OVA is a universal format but if you look carefully at the file names for VirtualBox and VMware, they have different names. The only difference, most likely is the packages for managing vm tools.

Open the OVA with vmware (File -> Open, then change extension).

Sorry, my mistake.

I changed the file extension to .7z (7zip) in the download url and i could download the "VMWare version". I didn't know that I can open it using VMware. VirtualBox is also installed and Win is automatically assigned .ova to the VB.

Sorry again.
