After finishing busy at the end of 2018, I have some free time, ready to continue to pick up the skills of testing. After all, testing is the first productivity of security engineers, so. The process of digging and filling holes lasted for 3 days, and finally succeeded.

1. The choice of version

I never thought that the version was the key to the success of the installation. Parallels Desktop installs Kali2.0 easily, but the difficulty lies in PD tools.

A. PD11 and kali-2018.04 versions, failed

B.PD13 and kali-2018.04 versions, failed

C.PD14 and kali-2018.02 version, successful, kali upgrade through upgrade only 2018.4 version is successful.

So, in the end, the new version of PD14 played a key role, the version number is 14.0.1 (45154), how to obtain this version, please visit the Vision Forum directly [advertise ha, the software is available in the mac software area of the forum]

2. Problems encountered in installing PD tools

This is a common problem, and there are many solutions on the Internet, but the most difficult ones are linux-headers and printer-driver. Dkms and kpartx can be solved through apt-get.

3. Solution

a. Configure the source first

Open / etc/apt/sources.list and add the source of kali. It is recommended to use the authentic official source:

Deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib

Deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib

b. Install dkms, kpartx, linux-headers, etc.

After practice, predecessors said that it is necessary to download from the kali library, but at present, sources already includes this, and there may be no new files in sources in subsequent updates, so put the library here and download it on your own:

Http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/l/linux/

Install via apt-get:

Apt-get update

Apt-get upgrade-y

Apt-get dist-upgrade-y

Apt-get install dkms kpartx linux-headers-4.18.0-kali2-amd64 printer-driver-postscript-hp

Restart after reboot # installation is complete

4. Install pd tools

a. During installation,. / install will indicate that there are not enough permissions, so copy the install directory directly to another directory and grant 777 permissions to solve the problem.

b. You will be prompted to install the file printer-driver-postscript-hp.

This file has actually been installed, after consulting, found that you can click continue to install pd tools can be completed. Therefore, there is no need to continue to struggle with this file, just click to continue the installation. If the installation failure is caused by a problem with the pd version, you need to update the version

5. Summary

The two biggest problems with installing pd tools are that the files headers and printer always indicate that they are not installed, causing the tools installation to fail. The reason is that because the old version of pd does not support the new kernel of kali, the kernel of kali2018-4 is 4.18, so it is necessary to update pd.

The actual solution version is simple: update the pd version, upgrade to the pd14 version, then select the official kali source, and update it, remember reboot. Finally, click continue all the way to complete the installation.

In the English forum, someone has written a prompt that printer-driver-postscript-hp is not installed, but continue to click next to complete the tools installation. Therefore, it is also to draw lessons from predecessors to avoid detours, and at the same time give some help to the students who encounter this problem.

Kali installation is only a small step, continue to work hard!
