Running dirbuster on Kali 2020.2

[Andy~]

Hi everyone

I am struggling to run dirbuster& from the terminal on a Kali 2020.2 64 bit VM running on Parallels on a mac. I am trying to launch it against a Kioptrix L1 VM running on the same system. I can see the IP of Kioptrix VM from Kali.

From my non-privileged user, the dirbuster menu pops up fine but cannot access the network:

if I run from root, I get a ‘No protocol specified’ exception:

root@kali:~# dirbuster&
[1] 5952
root@kali:~# No protocol specified
Exception in thread "main" java.awt.AWTError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
