How to Install Kali Linux on VirtualBox

Oracle Corporation provides a comprehensive archive of signing keys for VirtualBox. The key fingerprint for oracle_vbox_2016.asc is 9F8 D658 297A F3EF C18D 5CDF A2F6 83C5 2980 AECF. To verify the integrity of downloaded packages, it's recommended to compare SHA256 checksums.

To install VirtualBox on your Linux distribution, you'll need to add a repository and enable the appropriate channel. Here are some general guidelines:

* For Ubuntu 22.04 and older, replace ' with 'jammy', 'eoan', 'bionic', or 'xenial' in /etc/apt/sources.list.

* For Debian 11 and older, replace ' with 'bullseye', 'buster', or 'stretch'.

* Users of Oracle Linux 6, 7, and 8 can use the Oracle Linux yum repository and enable the ol6_developer channel for Oracle Linux 6, ol7_developer channel for Oracle Linux 7, or ol8_developer channel for Oracle Linux 8.

The VirtualBox base package binaries are released under the terms of the GPL version 2. To install VirtualBox, you need to set up a 64-bit chroot environment. Note that Debian/Lenny ships an AMD64 kernel with 32-bit packages and is not supported.

Here's how to get started:

1. Download the Oracle public key for verifying signatures from 'We do not recommend downloading anything other than from the official website.'.

2. Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file: ``.

3. Verify the integrity of downloaded packages by comparing SHA256 checksums.

4. Install the appropriate package for your Linux distribution.

The VirtualBox package architecture must match the Linux kernel architecture. If you're running a 64-bit kernel, install the AMD64 package (it doesn't matter if you have an Intel or AMD CPU).

In summary, installing Kali Linux on VirtualBox requires adding a repository, enabling the appropriate channel, verifying checksums, and setting up a 64-bit chroot environment. Follow these steps to get started with your installation.
