Kali Linux OS installation on VirtualBox

 Kali Linux OS installation on VirtualBox 

Download and Installation of VirtualBox

Download Oracle VirtualBox in your PC.

Step 1: Search for “download VirtualBox for windows”


Step 2: Select your operating system package, Here we will download Windows hosts




Step 3: Open the setup file and click on “next”



Step 4: The setup takes few seconds to install the VirtualBox. Then click “Finish”. Hence installation of VirtualBox is complete.



Installation of KALI Linux on VirtualBox

Step 1: Download Kali Linux

Open a web browser and search for “Download kali for VirtualBox”. Click on the first link “Get Kali”.



There are many versions of Kali Linux which you can download. 



Click on Virtual Machines and then according to your operating system’s architecture, Choose either 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64). Then download the VirtualBox file.

Note: You can also download the VMware version of Kali Linux. You may have to run the file using “VMware Workstation”.

Open the first link called “Get Kali” and Click on virtual machine.



The ova file will then be downloaded. 

Step 2: Installation of Kali Linux on VirtualBox.

Open the file location where you downloaded the ova file of Kali Linux. Open the ova file. 



When prompted “How do you want to open this file?”, click on VirtualBox Manager.


The VirtualBox opens and automatically opens up a dialog to import the Virtual Appliance. After checking the settings, click on “Import”.

 


The importing takes a few minutes to complete.


After completion of import process, the Kali Linux image shows up on virtual machine menu.


 Open the settings of the Kali Linux image.



Associate the base memory (RAM) according to your system specification for better performance. The Host also needs base memory so its recommended to associate only half of the total base memory available. Then click on “ok” 


Open the Kali Linux system by double clicking it or by clicking start.

 





The default username and password is "kali". 


You can now see the Desktop window. You can now access the applications of the Virtual Machine.


Your Virtual Machine is all set to go.

Congratulations! The installation process of Kali Linux on Virtual Machine is completed.

Analysis of Volatile Memory(RAM) Using Volatility3

Image
  Introduction: Volatility3 is the most advanced and newest volatile memory forensics framework in the world. It is also Open Source, this framework is written in python. It is also the most widely used framework for extracting digital artefacts from volatile memory i.e. RAM image. The framework is intended to introduce people to the techniques for extracting digital artefacts from volatile memory(RAM) samples and provide a platform for further work into this exciting area of research. Downloading and Installation: Requirements: Python 3.5.3 or higher Pefile 2017.8.1 or later. Download volatility from   here  or run the following command in command line to clone the repository. git clone https://github.com/volatilityfoundation/volatility3.git RAM Image Creation: To create a memory dump for analysis we can use DumpIt memory tool which can be downloaded from here . Also, we can use ftkimager to create a memory dump, which can be downloaded from  here . To creat...

$Recycle.Bin Forensics: Analysis of $I (metadata file) and $R (actual content)

Image
  Forensic Insight into Windows 10 $Recycle.Bin  In Windows 10, the deleted files are temporarily located in  "C:\$Recycle.Bin>",  a sub directory under root directory. The completion of file deletion process yields two separate files placed within the $Recycle.Bin path, as follows: $I – Contains metadata specific to the deleted file (original file name path, file size, deletion timestamp, file name size and, file name). $R – Contains the actual contents of the file. The two files ($I and $R) corresponding to the deleted file are named/suffixed with a random six character value after $I and $R, resulting  into a 8–character file name. The system creates SID based folders corresponding to each user account.   In the SID sub-folder, you will find the SID of the user who deleted the file. Each time a user deletes a file from the Recycle Bin, a sub-folder is created for them. As per the requirement an analyst can analyse the contents inside the SI...

Usefulness of Epoch in Digital Forensics Investigation (UNIX and MacOS perspective)

Image
 Usefulness of Epoch in Digital Forensics Investigation  (UNIX and MacOS perspective)  In digital forensics investigation, epoch plays an important role in event reconstruction. Hence, we try to provide detailed insight into the UNIX and MAC OS epoch values. An epoch is a date and time that a computer uses to determine the computer's clock and timestamp values. Epoch is sometimes also referred to as epoch time, POSIX time, and Unix time. In simple words, it is the starting point of the operating system that determines a computer’s date and time by counting ticks (seconds/ nanoseconds/picoseconds). Epochs can persist into the file metadata, system files, log files, and other metadata files. The value of epoch varies from operating system (OS) to OS and file system to file system.   The epoch traditionally corresponds to 0 hours, 0 minutes, and 0 seconds Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on a specific date, which varies from system to system, as the starting date o...
