Azure
As of release 2022.3 Kali is back on Azure. With this return we will discuss how to get Kali on Azure.
The very first thing to do is create an Azure account. Only once we see the following screen are we able to proceed with setting up a Kali VM.
From this page we will want to click on âVirtual machinesâ. After doing so we will be met with the following screen.
Now we can get started.
Creating a Kali VM
We will select âCreateâ and then select âAzure virtual machineâ in the drop down options. After which we will face the following screen.
For this screen we have already input all of the necessary information, your screen wonât look like this immediately. There are a couple of fields that we will need to do extra things to set properly, these being âResource groupâ and âImageâ. For âResource groupâ we will want to create a new group if we have no pre-existing group, otherwise we can select whatever group we wish. For âImageâ we will want to select âSee all imagesâ. From here we can search for âKaliâ
We can then click the drop down âSelectâ and choose the only option. From here we scroll down and fill in the rest of our information in the âBasicsâ section of the VM creation screen.
We have changed a couple fields in this area. We have input custom values for âUsernameâ and âKey pair nameâ to be more familiar. From here we can then move onto âDisksâ
As we can see we have no disk attached to Kali currently, so we have to attach one. We select âCreate an attach a new diskâ as we have no pre-existing disks. Once clicked here is what we are met with.
We keep the default values for this, and then continue forward. We check each section and make sure that there are no changes we want to make, but for this guide since there arenât we go all the way to âReview + createâ.
Once we are sure that our information is correct we press âCreateâ, which takes us to a new page.
We simply wait for our deployment to be complete, and once it is we select âGo to resourceâ.
We from here are able to see our VM and interact with it. For our purposes we are going to select âConnectâ and then âSSHâ.
This brings us to a new page that tells us how to connect to our instance. We need to change the mode on the ssh key, and after we can connect to our freshly created Kali instance.
