I would hesitate to guess that Kali servers are having trouble. What behavior are you seeing? Is there a particular package that is giving you trouble? What mirrors are you using? Are you wired...

yes, they are correct. Seeing msf> is normal in metasploit. So my original question, what exactly is the problem that you are having? Or are things working as you'd like them to be?

Kali is certainly able to do all that, but it's all going to be about how hard you're willing to work for it. I'll be honest, it's not a distro for Linux beginners. I was intrigued by BackTrack and...

They certainly are. Also network speeds. With older cards that don't have the same throughput you might see longer download times.

Encrypting can take an extremely long time and depends on a number of factors (disk speed, processing, etc). I've seen it 8+ hours to encrypt even a modest harddrive. Typically if I'm going to...

Did you download your iso from one of Kali's download links? I'd try getting a new one from there and attempting a reinstall.


@levinagill, I'm not sure what you mean by "special system...

So you have a limited connection, are you actually able to do internal network communication (ping machine that is generating the ad hoc network, for example)?

So, to make sure I'm understanding this correctly: you run Armitage and connect to a server, then enter metasploit? Or are you unable to connect to a team server?

When you do iwconfig you have no wireless adapters at all? Have you tried installing drivers for your wifi adapter?

I'd be more than happy to assist with an Armitage setup, but I'm having trouble understanding what the problem is. Could you describe it a little more?

Thanks :)

Thank you! I had the same problem as well and this fix worked.

Could you try giving the VM more sockets/cores as opposed to more RAM? Perhaps that may allow it to run calculations a bit faster?

Agree to check the SHA-1 sum on the ISO. Also, have you tried the 64-bit version just for giggles? A buddy of mine has that same laptop and I recall it being a 64-bit architecture. The 32-bit...

Did you try creating a key with Unetbootin though? Just curious because that's what I used and I've had no problems installing to a few different laptops.

Your error message refers to your meterpreter directory. What is the result of "ls /usr/share/metasploit-framework/data/meterpreter"? Could you move the contents of that folder somewhere else and...

What do you see in the Debian NetworkManager? I agree, an iwlist would be helpful. Make sure that you're using the right interface when you capture traffic with airodump-ng.

Expanding VHDs in Hyper-V has been disgusting for years. Typically in Windows (as I'm sure you'll know) you will need to expand the hard drive of the VM after expanding the VHD itself. Perhaps you...

I would not under any circumstances recommend using a USB drive with a Live Install of an OS for storage. I would strongly suggest using another USB key... I tend to keep my OS keys and my personal...

I've run into the same thing with an 8 GB thumb drive. Perhaps it's related to read/write speeds on the drive? I ended up getting fed up and doing a hard drive install.

Hi psylight,

I've just installed Kali but have quite a bit of experience with BackTrack (its predecessor). Kali is by no means a "beginner" Linux OS and will require a bit of research on your...
