Can I install Kali tools on Ubuntu?

Question

I want to know if there is any way to install Kali tools like sqlmap, nikto, john, aircrack-ng, ... on Ubuntu 12.04?

If yes, then how should I proceed?

Answer 1

The only current version of Ubuntu this works for is 12.04 and the repos haven't been updated since 2013. Don't use it.

For 14.04+, please see the second answer.

Copy the following Kali repositories:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/wagungs/kali-linux2/ubuntu YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION main 
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/wagungs/kali-linux2/ubuntu YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION         main 
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/wagungs/kali-linux/ubuntu YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION main 
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/wagungs/kali-linux/ubuntu YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION main 

Replace the text YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION based on your Ubuntu version.

• Ubuntu 12.04: precise
• Ubuntu 12.10: quantal
• Ubuntu 13.04: raring

Assuming that you are using Ubuntu 13.04, your repositories would be

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/wagungs/kali-linux2/ubuntu raring main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/wagungs/kali-linux2/ubuntu raring main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/wagungs/kali-linux/ubuntu raring main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/wagungs/kali-linux/ubuntu raring main 

Note: If you're an Ubuntu 14.04 user, you can use raring, as Trusty version of Kali repositories are not released

Update sources

Open your sources using the command

sudo -H gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kali-tools.list

Now, gedit editor will open the file kali-tools.list. Paste the above code at the end of your file and Save.

Ubuntu has more than that I think!

• Cyber Sec I PPa's (Cybersec Team)

• Black hat sec PPA's ( by D4RkNiK0l4s)

In those PPa's are more than 500+ hacking tools available, this guy has done a very good job!!Those tools are all open source and they don't belong to any name or something else. :D Ubuntu is a great distribution and it has many,many tools and packages available via repository install them like this :

Then open synaptic or whatever you like to use and start installing your tools!!

Answer 3

first of all , i dont advice you to change anything in the sources.list , because it going to damage your ubuntu sooner or later.

but there is a good way to do so in these instructs : there is a good tool called katoolin that will save time for you.

warning: make a copy of your sources list

step 1 : copy your original sources.list

sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.original

step 2: install git

sudo apt-get install git

step 3: get katoolin tool

git clone https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin.git

step 4 : copy the tool to your usr bin directory

cp katoolin/katoolin.py /usr/bin/katoolin

step 5 : change permissions to the tool

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/katoolin

step 6 : run the tool and extra careful to do a sources.list clean up after every time you install a tool from it or use the tool to remove the repos , and check your self manually.

sudo katoolin

cleanup after running the tool

warning : dont use apt-get upgrade after running the tool it will crush your system and gnome

first of all see the changes that happened in your sources.list

step 1 : check what has been added

cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep "kali"

if you see a kali source , remove its deb and deb-src and the safe the file.

step 2 : check if there is any ppa from it and remove it :

sudo apt-key list | grep kali sudo apt-key del <id>

step 3 : clean what you just did :

sudo apt-get autoremove && apt-get clean

(How can I remove gpg key that I added using apt-key add -?)
