It is actively used by cybersecurity professionals and students for ethical hacking, security forensics, and testing purposes. However, its architecture is designed for security auditing and attacking purposes. So, using Kali Linux without securing it is not a good choice and it can be easily cracked by other malicious users.<\/p>\n<p>Penetration testing may involve interaction with different networks and routers that can also compromise Kali\u2019s security.<\/p>\n<p>This post will demonstrate:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#post-412219-j6dh4tpglss4\">How to Secure Kali Linux<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#post-412219-ylhumcf14foe\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a id=\"post-412219-j6dh4tpglss4\"><\/a><strong>How to Secure Kali Linux?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To secure the Kali Linux system, the user needs to follow some essential steps such as keeping the Kali Linux up to date, changing the default root password as it can be easily used by any unauthorized user, managing incoming and outgoing traffic by a firewall, browsing over the internet anonymously and many more.<\/p>\n<p>To completely secure the Kali Linux, follow the below-listed steps.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 1:Update Kali Linux<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To secure the Kali Linux system, users need to keep the Kali image and repository up to date. For this purpose, launch Kali\u2019s terminal using the \u201c<strong>CTRL+ALT+T<\/strong>\u201d key. Then, execute the \u201c<strong>apt update<\/strong>\u201d command:<\/p>\n<div class=\"codecolorer-container bash blackboard\" style=\"width:100%;\"><div class=\"bash codecolorer\"><span class=\"kw2\">sudo<\/span> apt update<\/div><\/div>\n<p>This will update the Kali Linux with new rolling releases:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"636\" height=\"661\" class=\"wp-image-412233\" src=\"https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-1.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-1.png 636w, https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-1-289x300.png 289w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The above output shows that \u201c<strong>94<\/strong>\u201d packages are required to be upgraded.

Sometimes, users need to browse over the internet, this step will allow attackers to access your system through your identity. To secure your identity, we will recommend you download and use the \u201c<strong>Tor browser<\/strong>\u201d. This enables us to browse information or websites anonymously. To install the Tor browser, navigate to our associated <a href=\"https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/install-tor-browser-kali-linux\/\">article<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, the user can also hide the identity by changing the hostname to \u201c<strong>8.8.8.8<\/strong>\u201d. For this purpose, first, open the \u201c<strong>resolv.conf<\/strong>\u201d file in any text editor as done below:<\/p>\n<div class=\"codecolorer-container bash blackboard\" style=\"width:100%;\"><div class=\"bash codecolorer\"><span class=\"kw2\">sudo<\/span> <span class=\"kw2\">nano<\/span> <span class=\"sy0\">\/<\/span>etc<span class=\"sy0\">\/<\/span>resolv.conf<\/div><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"635\" height=\"167\" class=\"wp-image-412248\" src=\"https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-4.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-4.png 635w, https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-4-300x79.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next, replace the \u201c<strong>nameserver<\/strong>\u201d value with \u201c<strong>8.8.8.8<\/strong>\u201d. This will hide your real identity over the internet:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"644\" height=\"754\" class=\"wp-image-412266\" src=\"https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-5.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-5.png 644w, https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-5-256x300.png 256w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 644px) 100vw, 644px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To save the changes in the nano editor, use \u201c<strong>CTRL+S<\/strong>\u201d and to exit the editor use \u201c<strong>CTRL+X<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 3: Unprivileged User Account<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Directly using a root account on Kali is not a recommended option for security reasons. To secure your root account, the user needs to create an unprivileged account that is used as the root account but stands always lower than the root. We are already using an unprivileged account. So, to demonstrate the process, we need to log in to the root account.<\/p>\n<p>To log in to the root user terminal, utilize the \u201c<strong>sudo su<\/strong>\u201d command:<\/p>\n<div class=\"codecolorer-container bash blackboard\" style=\"width:100%;\"><div class=\"bash codecolorer\"><span class=\"kw2\">sudo<\/span> <span class=\"kw2\">su<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"642\" height=\"256\" class=\"wp-image-412267\" src=\"https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-6.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-6.png 642w, https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-6-300x120.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then, add the new user in Kali Linux using the \u201c<strong>adduser &lt;user-name&gt;<\/strong>\u201d command:<\/p>\n<div class=\"codecolorer-container bash blackboard\" style=\"width:100%;\"><div class=\"bash codecolorer\">adduser tempuser<\/div><\/div>\n<p>This operation will encourage you to set new passwords for a new user and extra information such as Full Name, Room Number, Work Phone, and many more.

It is not suggested to use the default Kali root password.<\/p>\n<p>To modify the \u201c<strong>root<\/strong>\u201d password, open the root terminal using \u201c<strong>sudo su<\/strong>\u201d. After that, simply run the \u201c<strong>passwd<\/strong>\u201d command. This command will ask you to set a new password:<\/p>\n<div class=\"codecolorer-container bash blackboard\" style=\"width:100%;\"><div class=\"bash codecolorer\"><span class=\"kw2\">passwd<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"642\" height=\"330\" class=\"wp-image-412271\" src=\"https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-9.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-9.png 642w, https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-9-300x154.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here, we have updated the Kali root user password.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 5: Monitor Logs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To check for security risks, and to debug the problems and Kali\u2019s errors, the user can monitor Kali\u2019s log. This can also secure the Kali system. To monitor Kali\u2019s logs file, navigate to the \u201c<strong>\/var\/log<\/strong>\u201d directory using \u201c<strong>cd<\/strong>\u201d. Then, run the \u201c<strong>ls<\/strong>\u201d to view the logs file:<\/p>\n<div class=\"codecolorer-container bash blackboard\" style=\"width:100%;\"><div class=\"bash codecolorer\"><span class=\"kw3\">cd<\/span> <span class=\"sy0\">\/<\/span>var<span class=\"sy0\">\/<\/span>log<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<span class=\"kw2\">ls<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"718\" height=\"794\" class=\"wp-image-412274\" src=\"https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-10.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-10.png 718w, https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-10-271x300.png 271w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 718px) 100vw, 718px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, many logs monitoring tools are also available for Kali Linux such as \u201c<strong>logcheck<\/strong>\u201d or \u201c<strong>Top<\/strong>\u201d. Kali also provides the built-in \u201c<strong>xfce4-taskmanager<\/strong>\u201d tool to view and monitor the running task on the system.<\/p>\n<p>To launch the Task Manager tool, open the Kali application menu and search for \u201c<strong>xfce4-taskmanager<\/strong>\u201d. After that, launch the below-pointed tool:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"875\" height=\"809\" class=\"wp-image-412276\" src=\"https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-11.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-11.png 875w, https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-11-300x277.png 300w, https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-11-768x710.png 768w, https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/word-image-412219-11-810x749.png 810w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>From the below Window, the user can view running tasks and processes.
