    Need help: Something wrong while verifying SHA1SUMS

    Hey Guys,

    I have downloaded "kali-linux-2016.1-amd64" from official website of KaliLinux and installed on VMware. I am trying to verify the image as described in the section "Download Kali Linux Images Securely" of website. I am following the below steps:

    1. Downloading Kali’s official key using below commands in RED:
    $ wget -q -O - https://www.kali.org/archive-key.asc | gpg --import
    # or...
    $ gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-key 7D8D0BF6
    # ...and verify that the displayed fingerprint matches the one below
    $ gpg --list-keys --with-fingerprint 7D8D0BF6
    pub 4096R/7D8D0BF6 2012-03-05 [expires: 2018-02-02]
    Key fingerprint = 44C6 513A 8E4F B3D3 0875 F758 ED44 4FF0 7D8D 0BF6
    uid Kali Linux Repository <[email protected]>
    sub 4096R/FC0D0DCB 2012-03-05 [expires: 2018-02-02]


    THE OUTPUT IS SAME AS describe above. Then I downloaded SHA1SUMS and SHA1SUMS.gpg from KaliLinux download server "http://cdimage.kali.org/".
    Then I continue to 2nd step as below in RED and get the following output:
    gpg --verify SHA1SUMS.gpg SHA1SUMS
    gpg: Signature made Tuesday 22 March 2016 03:11:12 PM IST using RSA key ID 7D8D0BF6
    gpg: Good signature from "Kali Linux Repository <[email protected]>"
    gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
    gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
    Primary key fingerprint: 44C6 513A 8E4F B3D3 0875 F758 ED44 4FF0 7D8D 0BF6


    It says that the signature is good, however, don't belong to the owner.
    Now what should I consider by the above output. Is the image verified or am I doing something wrong?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi rakzrodx, you are good to go.. signature is good.. you can also try this on the command line:

    sha1sum kali-linux-2016.2-amd64.iso (where you downloaded the .iso file)

    compare the output hash to the hash of the image file on the SHA1SUMS file. Hope this helps
