    Solving iptables issue on Kali Linux 2019.1 ARM 32 bit image (kalitorify, kali-anonsurf)

    I was installing all my useful pentesting tools in my Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Kali Linux 2019.1 distro. I have to thank Kali Linux development team for this nice Linux distribution, since quite everything worked like a charm, just needing to install, update and upgrade many packages.

    But when I was going to install the usefull kalitorify or kali-anonsurf scripts... they were shooting a lot of errors and they didn't work. All the errors were related to iptables execution.
    So I tried to run manually:

    root@ws-54879:~# iptables -L
    iptables: Operation not supported.


    And after googling many forums and githubs, I got into the conclusion that this new iptables version (v1.8.2 ) doesn't work well with this kernel build. So I checked for alternative versions:

    root@ws-54879:~# update-alternatives --list iptables
    /usr/sbin/iptables-legacy
    /usr/sbin/iptables-nft

    That means that there are two versions of iptables installed in Kali Linux, the legacy and fully working and the next generation (iptables-nft).

    root@ws-54879:~# iptables-legacy
    iptables v1.8.2 (legacy): no command specified
    Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

    root@ws-54879:~# iptables-legacy -F


    When calling the legacy iptables version it worked without throwing errors. So it's not necessary to execute complex solutions to solve this situation. Just specifying the default version for the system it will be enough. I will do it just by modifying the symbolic link in the default path to call the iptables-legacy by default.

    root@ws-54879:~# whereis iptables
    /usr/sbin/iptables


    root@ws-54879:~# mv /usr/sbin/iptables /root/scripts/
    root@ws-54879:~#
    ln -s /usr/sbin/iptables-legacy /usr/sbin/iptables

    And finally iptables from the path works!
    root@ws-54879:~# iptables -F

    It will be also necessary to install ufw package for kalitorify.
    root@ws-54879:~# apt install ufw

    And finally kalitorify and kali-anonsurf works again!


    root@ws-54879:~# kalitorify -t

    You should use the update-alternatives script instead of manually changing symbolic links.

    The script seems to do something funky. because in the default kali, iptables -L works just fine.
