Since it deals with a sensitive topic like hacking, it’s like a double-edged sword. We have discussed it in the detailed Kali Linux review in the past so I am not going to bore you with the same stuff again.
While you can install Kali Linux by replacing the existing operating system, using it via a virtual machine would be a better and safer option.
With Virtual Box, you can use Kali Linux as a regular application in your Windows/Linux system. It’s almost the same as running VLC or a game in your system.
Using Kali Linux in a virtual machine is also safe. Whatever you do inside Kali Linux will NOT impact your ‘host system’ (i.e. your original Windows or Linux operating system). Your actual operating system will be untouched and your data in the host system will be safe. VirtualBox is a wonderful open source virtualization solution for just about anyone (professional or personal use). It’s available free of cost.
In this tutorial, we will talk about Kali Linux in particular but you can install almost any other OS whose ISO file exists or a pre-built virtual machine save file is available.
Note: The same steps apply for Windows/Linux running VirtualBox.
As I already mentioned, you can have either Windows or Linux installed as your host. But, in this case, I have Windows 10 installed (don’t hate me!) where I try to install Kali Linux in VirtualBox step by step.
And, the best part is – even if you happen to use a Linux distro as your primary OS, the same steps will be applicable!
