Kali is designed for digital forensics as well as penetration testing. Kali is very useful to have installed if you are currently in or entering into the cyber security field. One of the main benefits of Kali Linux are its approximately 600 penetration testing tools preinstalled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Download Latest Kali Version<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is to download the latest version of Kali Linux from the official website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kali.org\/get-kali\/#kali-installer-images\">Download Kali Linux 2022.3<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boot USB or Select ISO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"643\" height=\"483\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/1-select-graphic-install.jpg\" alt=\"kali install screen\" class=\"wp-image-620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/1-select-graphic-install.jpg 643w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/1-select-graphic-install-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 643px) 100vw, 643px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next you will need to make a bootable USB drive using the Kali ISO file. You can read this tutorial on creating a bootable Linux USB drive using Rufus to learn more. After you create the bootable Kali USB drive, insert it into your computer and select the USB at boot. If you are using a virtual machine, simply select the Kali ISO as your boot device. Once you are booted into the installer, select &#8220;Graphical Install&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Select System Language<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"797\" height=\"600\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-select-lang.jpg\" alt=\"kali select language\" class=\"wp-image-621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-select-lang.jpg 797w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-select-lang-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-select-lang-768x578.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 797px) 100vw, 797px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you will select the language you would like to use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Select Location<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/3-select-location.jpg\" alt=\"select location\" class=\"wp-image-622\" style=\"width:800px;height:603px\" width=\"800\" height=\"603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/3-select-location.jpg 800w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/3-select-location-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/3-select-location-768x579.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next select your location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Select Keyboard Layout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"796\" height=\"595\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/4-select-keyboard-lang.jpg\" alt=\"select keyboard layout\" class=\"wp-image-623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/4-select-keyboard-lang.jpg 796w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/4-select-keyboard-lang-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/4-select-keyboard-lang-768x574.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Afterwards you will need to select a keyboard layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose Hostname<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"795\" height=\"595\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/5-enter-hostname.jpg\" alt=\"choose a hostname\" class=\"wp-image-624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/5-enter-hostname.jpg 795w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/5-enter-hostname-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/5-enter-hostname-768x575.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you will choose a hostname for the installation.
