Kali Linux Install Guide

\n

This documentation provides instructions on how to install Greenbone Community Edition from the Kali Linux native repository. The install packages are maintained by Offensive Security. Any bugs discovered during installation or use should be reported to Kali Linux Bug Tracker. Guidelines for submitting bugs to Kali Linux can be found here.

\n
\n

Important

\n

Greenbone does not hold responsibility for use of the Greenbone Community Edition\ninstalled via the native Kali Linux packages, and is not involved in the packaging\nprocess of the Greenbone Community Edition for Kali Linux.

\n
\n\n\n
\n

Optional Configurations

\n

The Greenbone Community Edition on Kali Linux installation relies on the same sub-system components as the source code installation and all configuration options are available. Let’s cover some common custom configurations.

\n
\n

Configure Remote Access To The Web Interface

\n

By default Greenbone Community Edition is installed with only localhost access to the GSA web interface. This means Greenbone Community Edition can only be accessed via the IP address 127.0.0.1. To enable remote access to the web interface, the gsad systemd service file must be modified and the gsad service must be restarted.

\n

Edit the contents of the gsad.service systemd service file:

\n
\n

Use nano to edit the gsad.sevice file

\n
nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/gsad.service\n
\n
\n

Change the value of the --listen argument to 0.0.0.0 and optionally change the value of --port to the standard SSL/TLS port 443:

\n
-ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/gsad --foreground --listen=127.0.0.1 --port=9392\n+ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/gsad --foreground --listen=0.0.0.0 --port=443\n
\n

Restart the gsad service:

\n
sudo systemctl daemon-reload\nsudo systemctl restart gsad\n
\n
\n
\n

Setting A Password Policy

\n

The password policy configuration file defines the rules for user passwords such as minimum length, complexity, and expiration period, ensuring that all user passwords adhere to the desired security standards.

\n
\n

Edit the Greenbone Community Edition password policy configuration

\n
nano /etc/gvm/pwpolicy.conf\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
