Kali's Default Credentials

 Kali's Default Credentials:

Kali changed to a non-root user policy by default since the release of 2020.1.


This means:


During the installation of amd64 and i386 images, it will prompt you for a standard user account to be created.


Any default operating system credentials used during Live Boot, or pre-created image (like Virtual Machines & ARM) will be:


User: kali

Password: kali

Vagrant image (based on their policy):


Username: vagrant

Password: vagrant

Amazon EC2:


User: kali

Password: <ssh key>

Default Tool Credentials

Some tools shipped with Kali, will use their own default hardcoded credentials (others will generate a new password the first time its used). The following tools have the default values:


BeEF-XSS


Username: beef

Password: beef

Configuration File: /etc/beef-xss/config.yaml

MySQL


User: root

Password: (blank)

Setup Program: mysql_secure_installation

OpenVAS


Username: admin

Password: <Generated during setup>

Setup Program: openvas-setup

Metasploit-Framework

Configuration File: /usr/share/metasploit-framework/config/database.yml

Kali Linux (Should I use Kali Linux )

  SHOULD I USE KALI LINUX ? What’s Different About Kali Linux? Kali Linux is specifically geared to meet the requirements of professional penetration testing and security auditing. To achieve this, several core changes have been implemented in Kali Linux which reflect these needs: Network services disabled by default:   Kali Linux contains systemd hooks that  disable network services  by default. These hooks allow us to install various services on Kali Linux, while ensuring that our distribution remains secure by default, no matter what packages are installed. Additional services such as Bluetooth are also blacklisted by default . Custom Linux kernel:   Kali Linux uses an upstream kernel, patched for wireless injection . A  minimal  and  trusted  set of repositories :  given the aims and goals of Kali Linux, maintaining the integrity of the system as a whole is absolutely key. With that goal in mind, the set of upstream software sources...

What is vpn

Image
 Virtual private network(VPN): A   virtual private network   ( VPN ) extends a   private network   across a public network and enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network. Applications running across a VPN may therefore benefit from the functionality, security, and management of the private network. It provides access to resources that may be inaccessible on the public network, and is typically used for   telecommuting   workers.   Encryption   is a common, although not an inherent, part of a VPN connection. [1] A VPN is created by establishing a virtual  point-to-point  connection through the use of dedicated circuits or with tunneling protocols over existing networks. A VPN available from the public Internet can provide some of the benefits of a  wide area network  (WAN). From a user perspective, the resources availab...
