Setup Kali Linux in AWS
So first you need to create a free AWS account on https://aws.amazon.com/free
After you created your account, just login,
Then, scroll down and click on Launch a virtual machine,
Then search for Kali Linux and select it ,
Then scroll down and change instant type to t2.micro and make sure you see free tier eligible badge
Then create a new key pair or you can use an existing if you have, give any name to it and click on create, and it will automatically downloaded, just keep it safe, otherwise you will lose access to your machine
Now scroll down and configure your storage,
Above you will see a message that you can use 30GB of storage in free tier, so change it to 30,
and that's it, just click on Launch instance.
After that it will give you a link, just click on it
And once you see instance state running, just copy your ip address, and open your terminal
and go to the directory where you save your key pair, and execute following to connect to your machine
ssh -i <specify your keypair> kali@<and paste the ip address you copied>
Once you enter,
It will ask you to accept the finger print, just accept it, and that's it we are running kali linux in the cloud,
But we don't have a GUI, So let's install it.
Installing GUI
Now First update your repositories,
sudo apt update
Now execute following,
sudo apt install kali-desktop-xfce
and wait till it is finished,
Now install vncserver
sudo apt install tightvncserver
Once it is installed, just start VNC,
vncserver -geometry 1280x720
At first it will ask you to create password, just create it,
Then open a new tab and go to the directory where you stored your keypair.
and execute following,
ssh -L 5901:localhost:5901 -N -f kali@<yourmachoneipaddress> -i <specify the kaypair>
This will create a secure tunnel to your local machine.
Now open your vnc viewer and and connect to
localhost:1
