When we make the general VMs, we select 2048 MB (2GB) for RAM, but we often increase this for our personal machines as we have high-performing devices with spare RAM which Kali can utilize. Various tools inside of Kali can be demanding of resources. Again, the higher the amount of RAM, the more applications can be open and at increased performance. “Memory size” is the next section, where we can define how much RAM to use. For the “Version”, we are going to be using the 圆4 desktop image, so we are going to select Debian (64-bit). Example: kali-linux-2023.2-vbox-amd64).įor the “Type”, we set it as Linux.

We are keeping it generic in this guide (as Kali is a rolling distribution, and we update it), however for our releases, we use the version number in the name as it is a fixed release ( kali-linux-YYYY.N-vbox-ARCH. This name is also used in any filenames (such as the configuration, hard disk and snapshot - which isn’t changed from this point). The next screen is “Name and operating system” which is where you name the VM. Upon starting up VirtualBox, select “New” (Machine -> New). I may, eventually, see if qemu is faster, but that's even more arcane, so it's not likely in the short term.You may need to enable virtualization in your BIOS/UEFI for (e.g. In short, it does so much of what I need it to do that the commercial competitors don't have an appeal for me.

I sometimes wonder if VMWare Fusion would be worth it, for the raw device support, etc., but I understand that it can be configured in VirtualBox, with patience and Terminal-fu.

For free (I, too, was tired of the "subscription model" annual upgrade pleas/threats), I really have to try to find a problem with it.

Parallels seems to virtualize Mac OS more smoothly. It works well with most Linuxes I throw at it (have had some issues with Linux Mint and video drivers). I triple boot on my MacBook, but may toss that for using virtualized PCs. Two-way clipboard support just works, and the granular control over the emulated hardware (how many cores, how much RAM, what size drive, etc.) makes it sweet for testing system parameters. It's not quite as nice to configure as Parallels, but once it's running it's fantastic. What can be said has mostly been said, but I'll chime in.
