Where to Get Official Kali Linux Images ISO Files for Intel-based PCs It would be easy for a malicious entity to modify a Kali installation to contain exploits or malware and host it unofficially. The OVA file can be now move and used where needed such as to ESXi (if the in-built upload feature is not working) or migrate to VirtualBox (You may need to install Guest Addition if so).IMPORTANT! Never download Kali Linux images from anywhere other than the official sources.Īlways be sure to verify the SHA256 checksums of the file you’ve downloaded against our official values. rw-r-r- 1 kali kali 3.4G Nov 10 23:18 kali-linux-rolloing.ova Kali-linux-rolloing.ova: POSIX tar archive Writing OVA package: kali-linux-rolling-amd64.ova Opening OVA target: kali-linux-rolling-amd64.ova
We can now start to convert by doing the following: :~$ ovftool kali-linux-*-vmware-amd64.vmwarevm/*vmx kali-linux-rolling-amd64.ova
:~$ ls kali-linux-*-vmware-amd64.vmwarevm/*vmx To start with unzip it to get access to the vmx within: :~$ 7z x kali-linux-2023.2-vmware-amd64.7z We will be using the official Kali Linux VMware image to convert. Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\OVFTool\ovftool.exe.OS X/macOS: /Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/VMware OVF Tool/ovftool.If you already have either VMware workstation or VMware fusion pre-installed, you may already have it (else it can be downloaded as a standalone program for free). In order to convert from VMware’s VMX to a OVA file, we will use ovftool. There are times where converting between the two formats is required.
The other commonly found format which is OVF, as this is a open standard ( OVA is OVF but compressed into a single file). VMware has VMX format which works for VMware products.
