Adventures with Kali Linux on Azure #1

This image is old! You'll have to

wget -q -O - https://archive.kali.org/archive-key.asc | apt-key add

before you can properly

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt autoremove

Shout out to this Stack Overflow post for pointing me in the right direction.

Your sources.list in

/etc/apt 

should be fine, if not compare it to what's in the official website and update accordingly.

Next up, so we can actually interact with the GUI, let's get xrdp.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install xrdp

sudo systemctl enable xrdp
sudo systemctl restart xrdp

That should install xrdp. Download your rdp file from your VM connect option in the Azure portal, and you should now be able to login.

A quick

lsb_release -a

now shows us that we are on the latest version :)
