So, I am basically a Linux user and just hop onto Windows whenever I want to play games or anything stupid. Most of my games now actually run when secure boot is enabled but as I am using Kali already as my main and working OS. So, is it possible that I can enable secure boot and when I am done using Windows I restart disable the secure boot and run grub boot loader which is by default right now? Or will it cause errors? I don't know how to properly signed os right now.

I am unable to see the running applications in the panel. I can't switch between open windows. How can I fix it? I tried to open windows manager and windows tweak manager but they won't open. So far I have tried resetting Xfce settings and using dconf-editor to reset all settings to default which didn't work either. Please help.

I just installed Kali Linux recently, and I’m facing weird internet issues. When I check my speed on fast.com, it shows around 7–10 Mbps, but whenever I actually try to download anything (like using wget, apt-get, or browser), the speed drops to around 1–2 Mbps or even less. Sometimes it’s just in KB/s. Here’s what I know: * Same Wi-Fi connection gives full speed on Windows and mobile. * No VPN or proxy is being used. * Happening on both terminal and browser downloads. * Using built-in Wi-Fi adapter on a fresh Kali install. What could be throttling the real download speed on Kali? Is it a driver issue, DNS problem, or something else?

Since I have problems with my Internet connection I'm not able to always run command apt-get install xdotool in Terminal, so I would like to download the **xdotool** package manually from website in .zip or .deb format and then install it manually every time I need it. (I'm using Usb Live Kali Linux 2016.2-amd64 and every time I reboot it deletes all files). I've tried to download xdotool from https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool at the right side in green box "Clone or download" there is option download ZIP. After that I extract all files in Home folder and then open it in Terminal. in README file there are instructions like this: > See the website for more up-to-date documentation > http://www.semicomplete.com/projects/xdotool/ or the manpage listed > below. > > Compile: make > Install: make install > Remove: make uninstall > > You may have to set 'PREFIX' to the location you want to install to. > The default PREFIX is /usr/local > > For packagers, there's also support for DESTDIR for staged install. I type in make then make install and it always outputs me this error: root@kali:~/xdotool-master# make cc -pipe -O2 -pedantic -Wall -W -Wundef -Wendif-labels -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Winline -Wdisabled-optimization -Wno-missing-field-initializers -g -std=c99 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/include -fPIC -c xdo.c xdo.c:29:34: fatal error: X11/extensions/XTest.h: No such file or directory #include ^ compilation terminated.

Can you suggest me other methods of installation of xdotool (but without Internet connection)?

My mousepad/mouse in kali does not click on what the pointer is on but elsewhere on the screen example if the pointer is at the bottom left of the screen and I click it clicks at top right of screen i am using a PB hev laptop

I bought a wireless adapter Realtek 8812BU Wireless. It came with a small CD for the driver but since I don't have a CD-ROM I looked for the driver on the Internet. After a few searches, I managed to install the right one on my Windows 11 machine, it appears as WI-FI 3 on Windows. So everything works as expected so far. The problem is that I couldn't find a way to install a driver for my Kali Linux Virtual machine. The adapter is getting recognized by the VM but when I run ifconfig it doesn't appear so I asume I dont have a good driver. Sorry if my problem seems trivial, I'm new to networking and also to linux.

I have been trying to download WingIDE5 onto my kali_linux VM but every time I use the code dpkg -I ~/Downloads/wingide5_5.1.9-1_amd64.deb it just says this Selecting previously unselected package wingide5. (Reading database ... 323261 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack .../wingide5_5.1.9-1_amd64.deb ... Unpacking wingide5 (5.1.9-1) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of wingide5: wingide5 depends on libqt4-webkit (>= 4.6.2): however: Package libqt4-webkit is not Installed. dpkg: error processing package wingide5 (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Processing triggers for menu (2.1.47) ... Errors were encountered while processing: wingide5 So does that mean I just have to download libqt4-webkit, and if so how do I download that? Any help is appreciated, Thanks.

I noticed some changes at the grub menu: the wallpaper disappeared (Kali logo) I tried booting in recovery mode running

apt-get clean && apt-get update

but that fails with some error messages, any help?

I want to anonymously use Kali Linux in VirtualBox. But VirtualBox's network is also my IP address so I want to use Whonix gateway for my Kali Linux, not Whonix workstation. How do I configure Whonix gateway in Kali? How to connect Whonix gateway to Kali Linux? What's the command I should use?

I have a JBL Bluetooth speaker. And usually it doesn't have a problem until my recent question earlier about [Bluetooth](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/676403/connecting-to-bluetooth-but-connection-failed-no-audio-endpoints-registered) :) And today's problem is my device is connected, but the device is not showing up in volume control. I try to reinstall blueman but it still not working. By the way, I'm dual booted my Linux with Win11. Please help me to resolve this issue, thank you :D  

I had some problems with sounds and I fixed the output problems but still can't work with the input. the problem is when I plug in my headphone jack I get the output device for headphone but there is no input for it. only the built-it device. I have no clue what you might need for this so please ask me for information you might need.

I can't connect to internet via wired, adding DSL profile with user and password. While installing kali linux 2.0 there was a warning telling that there is missing non-free firmware rtl_nic/rtl8106e-1.fw but it is in /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/ Have Realtek RTL8139/810x Fast Ethernet Adapter PCI. Was no problem on previous versions of Kali.

Given information: I have root access to a machine on ip 1.1.1.1 and open up port 22. Instead of having to log into the machine again through an exploit to get root access AND to not install apps onto their machine (If i created a reverse shell on the machine, it could get detected), figured to try a new approach; port forwarding and proxy chains. The idea I had was to set up a tunnel to the webserver and just forward the information along in order to start mapping out the internal network. I stumbled across proxychains, which is as simple as configuring the port, say 8080 in its conf file, then running commands: proxychains ifconfig and then proxychains nmap --script=discovery $ip There seems to be some configuration needing to be done before you can use Proxy chains and this is where I think *why?*. I will append below. So, firstly as root access on the webserver, I will open port 22 and make a user with admin permissions, say *jakefromstatefarm*. Then I will from my attacking machine do the following: ssh -f -N -R 2222:127.0.0.1:22 jakefromstatefarm@1.1.1.1 # Enter password for jakefromstatefarm ssh -f -N -D 127.0.0.1:8080 -p 2222 atkMachineUser@127.0.0.1 # Enter password for atkMachineUser Now I would use proxychains on port 8080 by editing the conf file proxychains ifconfig My question which confuses me is why do we need to set up these sets of tunnels prior to? Is it because of the required user credentials to speak to the different machines? That way, the machine will maintain the credentials and then from there proxychains doesnt need to maintain anything? I was confused because i was not sure why I couldn't in theory set up proxychains to use port 22 to talk to the webserver at 1.1.1.1 directly and run its respective commands. I am trying to make sure I understand SSH Tunneling correctly. I read a bunch of information, wiki pages and books, and while i vaguely understand some concepts, i dont have a warm and fuzzy quite yet. That being said, Id love it if someone could explain it to me like i am 5, or well, with less mumbo jumbo.

I've been attempting to perform an SSL strip MITM attack with my Rasberry pi 4B 4GB running kali Linux. after loading all the required modules in better cap and navigating to a website without HSTS on my target machine I'm not seeing the traffic show up much less the login credentials. Commands I'm entering:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ...
bettercap -iface wlan0 ...
set https.proxy.sslstrip true ...
https.proxy on ...
set arp.spoof.targets (Target IP) ...
arp.spoof on ...
net.sniff on ...

I should also mention that bettercap is frequently and continuously detecting and then losing new endpoints. I've tried navigating to the website on my target machine while it's detected the right endpoint and before it loses it to no avail. I've been able to use arpspoof and urlsnarf to successfully monitor HTTP traffic before in my MITM attack without SSL strip.

I've installed Kali 2023.1. Although I tried all sound driver, sound not working. But when I plugged any device like headphone It's working. I also tried Kali other version and Ubuntu latest version but It didn't work. My laptop has dual boot Windows 11 and Kali. GPU: RTX 4080 Mobile CPU: i9 13900hx I have tried these steps: https://www.kali.org/docs/troubleshooting/no-sound/ https://stevemats.medium.com/fix-sound-issue-in-kali-linux-2021-4-babbed3cce0 https://ourcodeworld.com/articles/read/406/how-to-enable-the-sound-on-kali-linux https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/643308 https://askubuntu.com/a/1400275 https://askubuntu.com/a/1277167 lspci | grep -i audio 00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation Device 7a50 (rev 11) 01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation Device 22bc (rev a1)

Every time I boot into Windows (11/10) on my dual-boot system, the GRUB entry vanishes from the UEFI boot menu. I reinstall GRUB from a live Kali USB, and the entry comes back. Then I reboot into Windows, and—poof—it's gone again. Even mounting the EFI partition shows no GRUB files. **System Details:** Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M DS3H BIOS Version/Date: American Megatrends International, LLC. F2, 22-03-2024 Distribution: Kali Linux (UEFI install) Disk Setup: NVMe drive with GPT partitioning EFI partition: FAT32, mounted at /boot/efi Windows: UEFI install, Fast Startup OFF, Bitlocker OFF, Secure Boot OFF **What I've Tried:** Reinstalled GRUB using:

sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=kali
sudo update-grub

Checked and modified UEFI entries with efibootmgr; GRUB shows up but disappears after rebooting Windows. Disabled Windows Fast Startup, Secure Boot, and Bitlocker. Mounting the EFI partition shows no GRUB or /EFI/GRUB content after disappearances. After mounting the EFI partition /dev/nvme0n1p1, in a live system I see only the /EFI/Microsoft folder. /EFI/kali or grubx64.efi is completely missing. What is removing the GRUB entry/EFI files? Is it Windows itself, firmware updates, or something else? How can I make the UEFI entry for Kali persist through Windows boots? Are there any EFI tweaks or BIOS settings I’m missing?

So, I did a certification lab lately and after I logged in my ssh, I cannot use a command longer than X line (4 in F server lab and 29 in C server lab. My host kali machine is working and I've tried several thing including: - 'stty sane; bash' - '/bin/sh' - 'reset' - changing the terminal from qterminal to gnome-terminal - use tmux - restarting / rebooting the lab and my host - I've tried seq 1 100 output in ssh and exit (worked) but I cannot do it if I have interactive session in the ssh - of course I can use seq 1 100 in my host machine That's all that I've tried, are there any other data that I should provide in my host machine? I cannot provide .profile and .bashrc of the server machine because I cannot do stdout that much of line and I also cannot transfer it (I really don't understand why). In the same time, I've asked the support lab team, hoping that they answer me in no time. Any Idea or approach that I should try on?

I installed GNOME on Kali Linux, then I decided to remove it and use Xfce 4. So I try

apt-get remove gnome-core

but GNOME is in the login menu and my system chooses GNOME file manager for inserting files and uses GNOME login panel when I turn my system on. How can I remove GNOME completely?

When I run apt-get update I get this error

I can see for ubuntu this worked. I have not tried it because I am still abit afraid of doing something wrong. I tried to search for "keyserver kali linux" and such, but nothing fit my problem except the one regarding ubuntu. Therefore I do want to try the command from the ubuntu forum . I would also appreciate if an explenation on why it is a given that xxx keyserver is used and how I would have gone about figuring which keyserver is for my distro.
