- At least 20 GB of disk space. (I recommend 30 GB).
- At least 2 GB of RAM (preferably 4) for i386 and amd64 architectures.
After downloading the .iso image, create a new virtual machine and import Kali as its OS.
So do as directed.
1. Launch Virtual Box Manager and click the New icon.
2. Name and operating system.
A pop-up window for creating a new VM appears.
Specify a name and a destination folder.
{The Type to Linux}
{Version change to Debian 64-bit or 32-bit depending on iso you downloaded}.
Make sure the information matches the iso you downloaded and click Next.
3. Memory size. Choose how much memory to allocate to the virtual machine and click Next. The default setting for Linux is 1024 MB.
However, this varies depending on your individual needs(4096 MB recommended).
Now coming to the hard disk option-
4. Hard disk. The default option is to create a virtual hard disk for the new VM. Click Create to continue. (for new users).
Alternatively, you can use an existing virtual hard disk file or decide not to add one at all.
5. Hard disk file type. Stick to the default file type for the new virtual hard disk, VDI (Virtual Box Disk Image).
Click Next to continue.
6. Storage on a physical hard disk. Decide Dynamically allocated The first choice allows the new hard disk to grow and fill up space dedicated to it. Click Next.
7. File location and size. Specify the name and where you want to store the virtual hard disk. Choose the amount of file data the VM is allowed to store on the hard disk. We advise giving it at least 20 GB(30 GB preferred).
Click Create to finish.
Well done. Now we are almost there👌.
Now you created a new VM. The VM appears on the list in the Virtual Box Manager.
Step 3: Configure Virtual Machine Settings
The next step is adjusting the default virtual machine settings.
1. Select a virtual machine and click the Settings icon. Make sure you marked the correct VM and that the right-hand side is displaying details for Kali Linux.
2. In the Kali Linux – Settings window, navigate to General > Advanced tab. Change the Shared Clipboard and Drag’n’Drop settings to Bidirectional. This feature allows you to copy and paste between the host and guest machines. THE BI-DIRECTIONAL 😐FUNCTION NEED MORE CONFIGURATION SO WE WILL LEAVE IT TILL NOW.
3. Go to System > Motherboard. Set the boot order to start from Optical, followed by Hard Disk. Uncheck Floppy as it is unnecessary.
4. Next, move to the Processor tab in the same window. Increase the number of processors to two (2) to enhance performance. If you can get just one processor, its okay but he speed might decrease.
5. Finally, navigate to Storage settings.
NOW WE ARE IN A IMPORTANT STAGE SO BE CAREFUL.
Add the downloaded Kali image to a storage device under Controller: IDE. Click the disk icon to search for the image. Once finished, close the Settings window.
6. Click the Start icon to begin installing Kali.
Step 4: Installing and Setting Up Kali Linux
It is still almost done. But we are getting close.👌👍
After you booted the installation menu by clicking Start, a new VM VirtualBox window appears with the Kali welcome screen.
Use arrow keys-➡⬅⬆⬇
Select the Graphical install option (hit enter) and go through the following installation steps for setting up Kali Linux in VirtualBox.
1. Select a language. Choose the default language for the system (which will also be the language used during the installation process).
2. Select your location. Find and select your country from the list (or choose “other”).
3. Configure the keyboard. Decide which keymap to use. In most cases, the best option is to select American English.
4. Configure the network. First, enter a hostname for the system and click Continue.(make it kali).
5. Next, create a domain name (the part of your internet address after your hostname). Domain names usually end in .com, .net, .edu, etc. Make sure you use the same domain name on all your machines. (not recommended for new users so leave it blank).
6. Set up users and passwords. Create a strong root password for the system administrator account. well, not so strong that you might forget the password so be wise.🤔
7. Configure the clock. Select your time zone from the available options.
NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IS HERE SO BE REAL CAREFUL.😅
8. Partition disks. Select how you would like to partition the hard disk.
🤨Unless you have a good reason to do it manually🤨, So go for the Guided –use entire disk option.
9. Then, select which disk you want to use for partitioning. As you created a single virtual hard disk in Step 3: Adjust VM Settings, you do not have to worry about data loss. Select the only available option – SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sda) – 20 GB (or 8 GB or what you made last time)ATA VBOK HARDDISK (the details after the dash vary depending on your virtualization software and space is what you decide).
10. Next, select the scheme for partitioning. If you are a new user, go for All files in one partition. Unless you have a good reason to choose another option🤣.
11. The wizard gives you an overview of the configured partitions. Continue by navigating to Finish partitioning and write changes to disk.
Click Continue and confirm with Yes.
Good job mister or ......whatever!!😂
12. The wizard starts installing Kali. While the installation bar loads, additional configuration settings appear.
13. Configure the package manager. Select whether you want to use a network mirror and click Continue. Enter the HTTP proxy information if you are using one. Otherwise, leave the field blank and click Continue again.
14. Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk. Select Yes and Continue. Then, select a boot loader device to ensure the newly installed system is bootable. Choose the default.
15. Once you receive the message Installation is complete, click Continue to reboot your VM.
BOOM!!! ITS DONE✌🤞👌
With this, you have successfully installed Kali Linux on Virtual Box. After rebooting, the Kali login screen appears. Type in a username (root) and password you entered in the previous steps.
Finally, the interface of Kali Linux appears on your screen.

ConclusionWith this guide, you have learned how to install Kali Linux in Virtual Box. We also covered setup and configuring to start penetration and security testing. So the beginners might ask some questions like there are too many options in the Oracle Virtual Box and which options might let Kali Linux work fine.
