Hi all,
I wrote a Packer template to build an HVM compatible Kali AMI for AWS - you can see it here: https://github.com/ctarwater/packer-debian2kali-ec2
I'm in the process of scrubbing it before making it a public AMI but hopefully it'll be available soon.
I started with the official Debian HVM AMI and then tried to accurately recreate the official Kali image, using the live-build-script and cloud-build repo as reference.
What I did was:
- Start with base Debian install
- Replace /etc/apt/sources.list with Kali repos
- Install the kali metapackages listed on the live-build scripts
- dist-upgrade
So, it's running Debian, with the Kali kernel and kali packages.
My question is, did I miss anything? I'm looking for a list of changes that the Kali devs make when building Kali from its Debian base.
Thanks,
Chris.
