SHORT VERSION OF THE FIX:

root@kali:/etc/redis# mv /etc/redis/redis.conf /etc/redis/redis.conf.bak
root@kali:/etc/redis# apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" install --reinstall...

Just to be sure i have a correct redis.conf i did install the package default.

root@kali:/etc/redis# mv redis.conf redis.conf.bak
root@kali:/etc/redis# apt-get -o...

I tried to start the redis-server manually. There seems to be a problem with the redis.conf. Finally problem fixed...

root@kali:~# redis-server /etc/redis/redis.conf

*** FATAL CONFIG FILE ERROR...

grid, i tried your idea, no luck. After reinstalling:

I did try remove redis-server and the packages depending on it. Then reinstall all packages again. No luck.

root@kali:~# apt-get remove redis-server

Trying to remove the redis-server package is not possible as it wants to remove kali-linux-full openvas openvas-scanner as well.

Hi,

I just did an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y

I just downloaded the 64bit ISO file through direct download. No troubles here.

Perhaps you noticed a little hick-up.

Hi kalirookie1,

You should not connect your awus036nh to OSX and put the in bridged mode. You can even leave the onboard airport active.

Follow these steps.
- Connect your awus adapter.
- In...

Check your repo's as mentioned by g0tmi1k
cat /etc/apt/sources.list and compare them to the one's in the documentation.

Don't forget to do a apt-get update when your repo's are fixed.

Are you certain the image you downloaded isn't corrupt. Did you perform a sha hash check?

It can be many different things. At time of download the server load could be high. The mirror you get redirected to has issues. You could try and manual select a mirror from where you download kali....

More info at:
http://docs.kali.org/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories

You could try to use an other mirror. Just edit your sources.list file with a mirror you would like to use. You can find the mirror site at:
http://docs.kali.org/kali-support/kali-linux-mirrors

Kali is not the distro to start with as a linux beginner. Try to get the linux basics before jumping into Kali. There are enough online resources for learning Linux.

It is a tar.gz file. use tar xvzf <filename> on linux or if you use Windows to unpack, download 7-Zip.

When you look at: http://docs.kali.org/kali-support/kali-linux-mirrors, you can select a mirror near to you, with a good transfer speed.
You have to edit your sources.list file, to change the mirror...

You mean SHA1 hash. But i agree, make sure the image is 100% correct.

Could you post the solution as well. Other (forum) users might get the same problem, and this post might help them to solve their problem.

The username should be "root" (lowercase, without quotes).

If this does not help, try login using single user mode, and reset the password.

Perhaps this documentation helps a bit, it explains the repos and it's use.

The current image is 2.4G in space. You could create 2 partitions and use the second for persistance. More info at: http://docs.kali.org/installation/kali-linux-live-usb-install

What would you...

When you run netstat -tulpn do you see that a service is listening on port 22?
If so, can you connect to ssh localhost from your Kali system?

As system_crash mentioned, i would advise to use...

I would suggest to try and build one yourself. I should be straight forward.

If you add persistence to your USB install, you should...

You can have multiple entries, but i recommend to put it in one line:

127.0.0.1 localhost bostaurus

Time to do some network troubleshooting. Check DNS, Routing (gateway set?), ARP table being populated etc...

Nice to know you got it up and running now.

No, i don't have a surface pro, but i think your wireless chipset is not supported with the default Kali Live.

What is the output for iwconfig & dmesg (wlan related)?

My wg111v2 works great in BT as in Kali (fresh install, no extra configuration needed)

What is the ouput for iwconfig & dmesg ( related to wireless) ?

What is the output for netstat -tulpn? Perhaps apache is still listning on port 80.

My install took around 10 minutes. But i used dd on OSX. Not that i think it should take longer on Linux systems.

Great post. I just wanted to add, increasing power is only effecient one way. A better antenna (even better a directional one) works better both ways. It is nice they hear you a few blocks away, but...

I think you meen apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. A dist-upgrade is if you would switch to a complete new distribution version. Not applicable yet.

If you know the partitions where Centos is installed. It shouldn't be to hard to fix. Otherwise boot Kali and run fdisk, you should be able to view the partition table. Be aware, don't change the...

I got my wireless adaptor detected during install, so i think it is a driver/hardware issue. If you mount your disk, you should be able to add the files needed for EFI boot.

I tried many ways to get this working, also the one in the post charonsecurity refers to, but till now no luck.

But i won't give up. If i have the fix, i will post the steps to take. I someone...

If you need a playground to start with, take a look at http://www.dvwa.co.uk/

If Kali was not able to run properly, then there wouldn't be an official document.

Ton,

dd makes an exact copy of your image. If your image file is a small volume, you get this result. You can expand your partion as explained by brav0hax.

Deauth frames are part of management frames which are always unencrypted. So there is no current solution. aerokid240 is totally correct in his reply.
As i'm correct there will be a new standard on...
