Installing Linux Kali Tools on MInt

Post by Swiftz99 » Thu Dec 16, 2021 6:52 pm

I’m a fairly new user to linux and my first OS is Mint. Ive done my research and this is the OS i want to stick to and use. How ever i also want to get in to/learn about ethical hacking for a future career.

I understand Kali OS is the full of tools that suits hackers the best, how ever i don’t want to deal with 2 different OS just to get those tools.

can i just install all the tools and applications from kali on Mint OS , would there be any difference?

And does anyone have any suggestions on where i can find a list of these tools?

It should be possible, in principle, perhaps with some caveats. Unless there’s a list on their website, the best list would be to boot into Kali from USB, in order to see which tools you want, make a list, find them on the internet, and install directly — some maybe available as an existing Ubuntu/Mint package, others maybe as a Flatpak, or as a tarball to download and install manually. Worst case, will be having to download the source and build locally.

One issue is that Kali is pretty leading-edge where as Mint is based on Ubuntu’s LTS and therefore more conservative. It maybe that Mint doesn’t have all the dependencies required, so you end up pulling at a thread that you wish you’d not started.

Personally though, I don’t like merging the 2 worlds of personal computing with pen-testing. It’s simple enough to setup a dual boot system, or alternatively, keep a Kali ISO on a USB stick with Ventoy and boot into it as required. Then you’ll always have the latest tools.

That’s a bad one. You may end with either Linux Mint missing some features because Kali tools will block them or Kali tools being compromised (if you can see who is at the end of a ping, the other can too and he would probably have a better configuration than yours).

If you really want a mixed system, you may look at Parrot OS (https://www.parrotsec.org/) which is a pentesting distro based on Debian (like Kali) and begin with their «Home edition», which is daily use of Parrot as a normal distro and move to «Security edition» when you’ll be ready to take charge alone. You may also take note that some of the «Kali tools» like Anonsurf were in fact created by the Parrot team.

What i do: on my laptop i have some basic tools(ettercap, nmap, aircrack-ng, ghidra, john the ripper), for anything more involved i have my Kali installed on a usb3 flash drive so i use it from there, the VM is also good but you can suffer a lot with weaker hardware and gpu accelerated stuff will not work properly.

README.md

Katoolin3 brings all programs available in Kali Linux to Debian and Ubuntu.

This program is a port of katoolin from LionSec to python3. Katoolin3 offers several improvements over katoolin:

  • Up to date packages
    The old katoolin uses an outdated package list. Katoolin3 always keeps its package list up to date.
    (Last updated: 18 Feb 2020)
  • Improved handling of missing packages
    The old katoolin breaks if a package isn’t available in the repositories anymore. Katoolin3 detects those and simply ignores them.
  • Removal of packages
    You can now remove all packages installed by katoolin3 (individually or all at once).
  • Upgrading wont break your system anymore
    . because the Kali repositories only get enabled during the runtime of katoolin3.
  • Better utilization of the APT ecosystem
    The old katoolin does potentially dangerous operations such as modifying and deleting important system configuration files. This has been changed.
  • Easier maintenance of Kalis packages
    The old katoolin makes it difficult to add new packages to the package list due to the way katoolin was programmed. Maintaining the package list is now a lot easier.
  • Cleaner code
    Due to poor code quality katoolin was unmaintainable and had to be rewritten from scratch. katoolin3 aims to be more readable and easier to maintain.

Installing programs from repositories for different operating systems is generally considered dangerous!
Some packages might (and probably will) break your system. Be careful when installing the tools and don’t blame katoolin3 for any inconveniences.
The optimal solution is to install specific tools from tools.kali.org.
It is not recommended to install all tools.

  • apt as a package manager
  • Python >= 3.5
  • Root privileges
  • sh, bash
  • python3-apt
git clone https://github.com/s-h-3-l-l/katoolin3; cd katoolin3; chmod +x ./install.sh; sudo ./install.sh;

Important: If you get the error Please install the python3-apt package please make sure katoolin3 runs with exactly the same python3 version as the python3-apt package. On modern distributions python3-apt is only for python3.7 and on older distributions python3-apt is only for python3.5. Katoolin3 has to be run accordingly with python3.7 or python3.5.

The program flow of katoolin3 is realized by presenting a list of options that you can choose from. These lists look like that:

To install a package enter the corresponding number. To install multiple packages at once specify a range like 3-5 , a list like 1,2,3 or combine them like 1,2,5-7,9 . You can also install all packages at once.

This works just like installing except that you have to prepend a ~ before your selection. You can also uninstall all packages at once.

Katoolin3 supports searching the package cache.
E.g. if you want to install some tools related to SQL injections you can go into the search menu and search for sql injection .
If you want to have specific information about a package just enter the package name in the same search menu.

For more functionalities see the help dialogue inside the program.

To update your tool list execute

chmod +x ./update.sh; sudo ./update.sh;

To uninstall katoolin3 execute

chmod +x ./uninstall.sh; sudo ./uninstall.sh;

Uninstalling the Kali tools can be done inside katoolin3.
