    Kali linux meta packages;

    So I installed Kali linux on my raspberry pi and well as it comes pretty much barebones I looked up the meta packages and they all come in like big packs that are either too large for my SD card or have one tool that I need and the rest I dont, is there not a way to install single packages, all I want to install is a few single tools from kali linux... like example sslstrip from kali-linux-web and thats it, and I want arpspoof but I dont even know what meta package thats in.

    If you only want a single/few tools - better off not using meta packages at all. e.g.

    Code:
    apt-get install dsniff
    apt-get install sslstrip

    However, if you _really_ want to use meta packages - for more information:

    Tho as you said, you will soon run out of HDD space...

    I am familiar with Linux/Debian/Backtrack etc.... I already tried apt-get install arpspoof it said it cant find the package, I figured apt-get update would update the sources list, but I am NOT familiar with the sources to these packages.

    1.) Make sure your source list is correct - http://docs.kali.org/general-use/kal...t-repositories (Regular & Source repositories)
    2.) apt-get update
    3.) apt-get install dsniff sslstrip

    If that doesn't work - then theres a bigger issue at play...

    You have to update your sources. See this link for specifics:

    http://docs.kali.org/general-use/kal...t-repositories

    I found this post while searching for a similar issue I was having and since its not THAT necro of a thread I figured I would reply and maybe be of some help to you! Remember either sudo in to your sources list or have root access or you will be unable to edit it...
