Top 11 things to do after installing Kali Linux 2.0

I’ve compiled a small list of things that I always perform after installing a fresh copy of Kali Linux in this post. Let me know via comments section. You can comment without registering.. so that’s an easy way to give me feedback and opinion.

1. Fix default repository

The simplest way is to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list remove or comment every-line with # at the front and add the following lines..

 leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list

Comment or remove existing config with the following lines:

# Regular repositories
deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free
# Source repositories
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free

Save and close the file.

Clean your apt-get => apt-get clean
Do an apt-get update => apt-get update
Do an upgrade => apt-get dist-upgrade

Save and close the file.

2. Update, Upgrade, Dist-Upgrade

Clean, update, upgrade and dist-upgrade your Kali installation.

 apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y
