Installing Kali Linux on Hyper-V
For this class I would like us to use Hyper-V as our hypervisor of choice. We will be working with the following:
- Kali under Hyper-V with Enhanced Session Mode
- Windows Dev images for some proof-of-concept work. Info here.
- Windows Sandbox mode Link to Sandbox mode.
Contact me if you are planning to use a Mac or Linux laptop for this course.
Ready to install Kali on Hyper-V? Follow these instructions:
- Enable Hyper-V if you haven't already. Instructions are here.
- Enable Enhanced Session Mode in Hyper-V. Follow this guide for instructions.
- Download an installation ISO (not pre-built VM) from here.
- Set up a Hyper-V VM for a Kali install. Check out this guide here.
- Install Kali into the new VM. Instructions here.
- Follow these instructions on how to make Enhanced Session Mode active. This will allow you to use the clipboard effectively.
- Use your newly found Copy/Paste abilities to transfer a new desktop wallpaper to your Kali instance, for example from here.
At this point, you should have Kali in a beautifully rendered screen with a functioning clipboard.
