You should install GRUB to the Master Boot Record (MBR) unless you already have another Linux system installed that knows how to boot Kali Linux. As noted in Figure 4.17, “Install the GRUB Boot Loader on a Hard Disk ” [page 83], modifying the MBR will make unrecognized operating systems that depend on it unbootable until you fix GRUB’s configuration.
You would then have to start the Kali installer with the rescue/enable=true parameter on the kernel command line to reinstall the boot loader. This operation is described in detail in the Debian installation manual. And Dual Boot installed on the computer and will automatically add corresponding entries in the boot menu.
Possible reasons: You plan to boot Linux using the bootloader of another installed OS, such as Windows. You plan to boot the Linux you’re currently installing using the grub from another Linux installation on the same machine.
Then, how does Grub load the Linux kernel?
The Linux kernel knows how to load itself (if the kernel has been configured to include the EFI Stub Loader), so the boot loading part of GRUB is redundant. The UEFI firmware (“BIOS”) can load the kernel, and the kernel can set itself up in memory and start running.
Should I use kali linux as main os?
In Kali running a main OS as Root can be dangerous and cause harm to your system as well as open up many various exploits to you. I hope this helped In its default form, it’s designed just for penetration testing in mind.
How good the OS is depends on the person using it. If you are somewhat familiar with linux terminal and is interested in penetration testing and stuffs related to ‘hacking’, kali linux is a good option.
How to install Kali Linux on hard disk?
You have options for the Gnome (default and light), KDE, Mate, Xfce, LXDE, armhf, armel 2 Burn The Kali Linux ISO to DVD or Image Kali Linux Live to USB. 3 Boot from your chosen installation medium (DVD or USB).
On the official Kali Linux website downloads section, you can find Kali Linux . iso images.
Can I use Kali Linux as a normal operating system?
You actually can use Kali as a normal OS as well as a Debian or a Deb based OS. It’s just like using Photoshop for only resizing images (Kali has many tools for Hacking and penetration works).
When I was reading we ran into the question “Which platforms support Kali Linux?”.
Platforms such as amd64, i386, and ARM support Kali Linux. The i386 images can be run on systems with more than 4GB RAM. We will require at least 20 GB disk space to install Kali Linux.
One source claimed Only download Kali Linux via the official download pages at kali. Org/downloads/ or offensive-security. Com/kali-linux-vmware-arm-image-download/ – you will not be able to browse to these pages without SSL; encrypting the connection makes it much harder for an attacker to use a “man-in-the-middle” attack to modify your download.
Is Kali Linux the worst choice for security?
And it’s possibly the worst choice if you have to share your computer with someone else (more on that later). Speaking of applications, the only ones installed on a default Kali Linux system are clearly oriented toward security.
Hacking is a skill that needs to be honed, it almost never depends upon the operating system you use. The difference between Kali and Ubuntu (or any Linux distribution for that matter) is that Kali comes preinstalled with lots of pentesting tools. But that doesnt mean you cannot install those same tools on Ubuntu.
