Word for kali linux

Are you a regular user of Kali Linux? Do you want to install an office for Kali Linux?

Kali Linux is an operating system used for penetration testing purposes only. So it doesn’t have office use tools like word, excel, powerpoint, etc.

Microsoft word, excel and powerpoint are not available for Linux distributions. So you can’t install this software in Kali Linux and other Linux distribution.

You should know how to install LibreOffice for Kali Linux for office work. LibreOffice includes writer, calc, impress, Base, etc.

What is LibreOffice?

LibreOffice is a powerful and free office suite, used by millions of people around the world. Its clean interface and feature-rich tools help you unleash your creativity and enhance your productivity. LibreOffice includes several applications that make it the most versatile Free and Open Source office suite on the market:

• Writer (word processing) = MS Word
• Calc (spreadsheets) = Microsoft Excel
• Impress (presentations) = Microsoft PowerPoint
• Draw (vector graphics and flowcharts),
• Base (databases), = MS Access
• Math (formula editing).

Supported Documents Extension by LibreOffice

LibreOffice is compatible with a wide range of document formats such as Microsoft® Word (.doc, .docx), Excel (.xls, .xlsx), PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx) and Publisher.

But LibreOffice goes much further with its native support for a modern and open standard, the Open Document Format (ODF). With LibreOffice, you have maximum control over your data and content – and you can export your work in many different formats including PDF.

How to install LibreOffice in Kali Linux using Terminal

You can install LibreOffice in Kali Linux by following very simple steps.

Step 1: Open terminal

Step 2: Update Kali Linux by running following command

$sudo apt-get update

When you will run apt-get update command then make sure you have added Kali Linux repository. If you had not added repository source in source.list file then you will face the problem.

Step 3: Install LibreOffice in Kali Linux by executing the following command

$sudo apt-get install libreoffice

In this section, I am going describe second method to install libreoffice in Kali Linux.

If you are unable to install libreoffice on your Kali system by using apt or apt-get command as describe above.

Then you can download executable file from official website of libreoffice and install it correctly on your machine with the help of dpkg command.

Download libreoffice

Go to the following link and download libreoffice. https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/

Before going to download you must keep in mind two important facts about Kali and LibreOffice as following:

• Kali Linux is a Debian based operating system so download .deb file.
• As the latest version of LibreOffice is just made for a 64 bit Linux system. So your installed Kali must be 64-bit architecture.

So the download as following steps:

Step 1: Open the link https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/

Step 2: Select “Linux (64-bit)(deb)” for drop down menu. This option is available choose your operating system. Then click on Download button.

Step 3: New window will be popup select Save File radio button and then click on “OK” button to save the file.

Install LibreOffice in Kali Linux by dpkg command

As you have seen, I have downloaded executable file with the .deb extension for Kali Linux.

By default, downloaded files go to Download folder so use cd command to change directory. Use the following syntax:

$cd Downloads

[email protected]:~$ cd Downloads/
[email protected]:~/Downloads$ ls
LibreOffice_6.4.4_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz
[email protected]:~/Downloads$ 

The downloaded file is LibreOffice_6.4.4_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz, This file is zip format.

I need to extract it first tar command can be used to perform this action.

$ tar -xvf LibreOffice_6.4.4_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz

Again use ls command to view available content inside the current folder, which is Downloads.

$ls

You will see new folder has been appeared after extracting, Go inside it. Then move inside DEBS folder. You can use following commands to do that.

$ cd LibreOffice_6.4.4.2_Linux_x86-64_deb/DEBS/

Again you can use ls command to see the content is DEBS folder. You will find lots of .deb files there.

As you know, multiple tools belong to LibreOffice. For example LibreOffice Calculator, Libreoffice writer, presenter, etc.

You must need to install all packages that exist inside the DEBS folder. So use the following command to install deb file in Ubuntu of all type packages by using single dpkg command as follows.

$sudo dpkg -i lib*

[email protected]:~/Downloads/LibreOffice_6.4.4.2_Linux_x86-64_deb/DEBS$ sudo dpkg -i lib*

[email protected]:~/Downloads/LibreOffice_6.4.4.2_Linux_x86-64_deb/DEBS$ sudo dpkg -i lib*

Open LibreOffice in Kali Linux:

Just go to search application bar and search for Libreoffice. See in following image.

I am going to open Libreoffice writer, It will look like follwoing

Uninstall LibreOffice in Kali Linux

If you don’t want to use LibreOffice any more in your system then you can uninstall by following simple steps.

Open terminal and type simple single command as follows

$sudo apt remove –purge libreoffice*

Additional run the following command to clean the apt database.

$sudo apt clean

Don’t forget to run following command for removing unuseful tool, utility

$sudo apt autoremove

Conclusion

Most of us are using windows and familiar with Microsoft Office including MS Office here is Libre office for Kali Linux. In this tutorial, you will learn Kali Linux commands  “How to install LibreOffice for Kali Linux. LibreOffice is an office for Kali Linux and other Linux distribution. You are at the right place to learn 2 commands to complete this operation.

A Pentester is as good as their tools and when it comes to cracking the password, stressing authentication panels or even a simple directory Bruteforce it all drills down to the wordlists that you use. Today we are going to understand wordlists, look around for some good wordlists, run some tools to manage the wordlists, and much more.

Introduction

Ever since the evolution of Penetration Testers has begun, one of the things we constantly see is that the attacker cracks the password of the target and gets in! Well in most of the depictions of the attacks in movies and series often show this situation in detail as it is the simplest attack to depict. No matter how simple cracking passwords or performing Credential Stuffing were once a bane on the Web Applications. Today we somehow have got a bit of control over them with the use of CAPTCHA or Rate Limiting but still, they are one of the effective attacks. The soul of such attacks is the wordlist.

What are Wordlists?

A wordlist is a file (a text file in most cases but not limited to it) that contains a set of values that the attacker requires to provide to test a mechanism. This is a bit complex, let’s dilute it a bit to understand better. Whenever an attacker is faced with an Authentication Mechanism, they can try to work around it but if that is not possible then the attacker has to try some well-known credentials into the Authentication Mechanism to try and guess. This list of well know credentials is a wordlist. And instead of manually entering the values one by one, the attacker uses a tool or script to automate this process. Similarly, in the case of cracking hash values, the tool uses the wordlists and encodes the entries of wordlists into the same hash and then uses a string compare function to match the hashes. If a match is found then the hash is deemed as cracked. It can be observed that the importance of wordlist is paramount in the Cyber Security World.

Wordlists in Kali Linux

Since Kali Linux was specially crafted to perform Penetration Testing, it is full of various kinds of wordlists. This is because of the various tools that are present in the Kali Linux to perform Bruteforce Attacks on Logins, Directories, etc. Let’s go through some of the wordlists from the huge arsenal of wordlists Kali Linux contain.

Wordlists are located inside the /usr/share directory. Here, we have the dirb directory for the wordlists to be used while using the dirb tool to perform Directory Bruteforce. Then we have the dirbuster that is a similar tool that also performs Directory Bruteforce but with some additional options. Then we have a fern-wifi directory which helps to break the Wi-Fi Authentications. Then we have the Metasploit which uses wordlists for almost everything. Then there is a nmap wordlist that contains that can be used while scanning some specific services. Then we have the Rockstar of Wordlists: rockyou. This is compressed by default and you will have to extract it before using it. It is very large with 1,44,42,062 values that could be passwords for a lot of user accounts on the internet. At last, we have the wfuzz directory that has the wordlists that can be used clubbed with wfuzz.

Location: /usr/share/wordlists

Dirb Wordlists

To take a closer look at one of the directories, we use the tree command to list all the wordlists inside the dirb directory.  Here we have different wordlists that differ in size and languages. There is an extensions wordlist too so that the attacker can use that directory to perform a Directory Bruteforce. There are some application-specific wordlists such as apache.txt or sharepoint.txt as well.

Location: /usr/share/wordlists/dirb

Rockyou Wordlist

Rockyou.txt is a set of compromised passwords from the social media application developer also known as RockYou. It developed widgets for the Myspace application. In December 2009, the company experienced a data breach resulting in the exposure of more than 32 million user accounts. It was mainly because of the company’s policy of storing the passwords in cleartext.

Location: /usr/share/wordlists

When first booting Kali Linux, it will be compressed in a gz file. To unzip run the following command. It will decompress and ready for use on any kind of attack you want.

gzip -d /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt.gz

Wfuzz Wordlists

Wfuzz tool was developed to perform Bruteforcing attacks on web applications. It can further be used to enumerate web applications as well. It can enumerate directories, files, and scripts, etc. It can change the request from GET to POST as well. That is helpful in a bunch of scenarios such as checking for SQL Injections. It comes with a set of predefined wordlists. These wordlists are designed to be used with wfuzz but they can be used anywhere you desire. The wordlists are divided into categories such as general, Injections, stress, vulns, web services, and others.

Location: /usr/share/wordlists/wfuzz

Looking into the Injections directory we see that we have an All_attack.txt that is a pretty generic wordlist for testing injections. Then we have a specific one for SQL, Directory Traversal, XML, XSS injections. Moving onto the general directory, we see that we have the big.txt that we discussed in the Dirb section. We have common.txt that also is the default wordlist in many tools due to its small size. Then we have the extensions_common.txt which contains like 25-ish extensions that might be enumerated some files that can be considered low-hanging fruits.  Then we have the http_methods.txt wordlist. It contains the HTTP Methods such as POST, GET, PUT, etc. They can be used while testing if the target application has any misconfigured methods enabled or they forgot to disable them at the application and server level. mutations_common.txt also contains a bunch of uncommon extensions that could lead to the enumerations of rare artifacts.

Then we have the spanish.txt wordlist for the as you have guessed it for Spanish words/names/passwords. The other directory contains the common passwords and names that can be used to extract usernames or passwords at some forget password form where it responds with such messages that the user exists or it doesn’t exist. Let’s move onto the stress directory. It contains a wordlist designed to stress test the mechanism. It contains wordlists that contain the alphabets or numbers or special characters and hex codes for the same. Then we have the vulns directory, which contains the wordlists specially made for testing a particular vulnerability.  We have the apache wordlist, CGI wordlist, directory wordlist, iis wordlist, oracle9 wordlist, SharePoint wordlist, tomcat wordlist, and many more. Use these wordlists into a specific scenario where you are confirmed about the framework and versioning information and just use it to target a particular entry point.

Online Wordlists

GitHub Wordlists

We learned about the huge collection that Kali Linux contains. But sometimes they tend to be not as latest as we require. This can happen in a scenario in which a new 0-day has been discovered. There will be no entry in those dictionaries. This is where we can go wild searching on the internet but it is vast and takes more time. This is where we can snoop in GitHub as many people might create such a dictionary. So, searching GitHub might give you those new and fresh dictionaries or it can help you find that specific dictionary that you require to fuzz a specific framework.

Link: GitHub Wordlists

Seclists

Seclists are a collection of multiple types of wordlists that can be used during Penetration Testing or Vulnerability Assessment, all collected in one place. These wordlists can contain usernames, passwords, URLs, sensitive data patterns, fuzzing payloads, web shells, etc. To install on Kali Linux, we will use the apt command followed by the Seclists as shown in the image below.

GitHub: Seclists

apt install seclists

The installation will create a directory by the name of Seclists inside the /usr/share location. Going through we can see the different categories of wordlists such as Discovery, Fuzzing, IOCs, Misc, Passwords, Pattern Matching, Payloads, Usernames, and Web-Shells.

Assetnode Wordlists

The Assetnode Wordlist releases a specially curated wordlist for a whole wide range of areas such as the subdomain discovery or special artifacts discovery. The best part is that it gets updated on the 28^th of Each month as per their website. This is the next best thing that was released ever since the Seclists. To download all wordlists at once anybody can use the following wget command.

Website: Assetnote Wordlists

wget -r --no-parent -R "index.html*" https://wordlists-cdn.assetnote.io/ -nH

PacketStrom Wordlists

Packet Storm Security is an information security website that offers current and historical computer security tools, exploits, and security advisories. It is operated by a group of security enthusiasts that publish new security information and offer tools for educational and testing purposes. But much to our surprise, it also publishes wordlists. Any user that has crafter some specified wordlist can submit their wordlist on their website. So, if you are looking for a unique wordlist be sure to check it out.  

Link: Pack Strom Security Wordlists

Cleaning Wordlists

Till now we saw multiple wordlists that contain thousands and thousands of entries inside them. Now during penetration testing on your vulnerable server or any CTF, it is possibly fine as they are designed to handle this kind of bruteforce but when we come to the real-life scenario things get a little complicated. As in real life, no development team or owner is going to permit you to perform a thousand after thousand wordlist bruteforce. This can hamper its quality of service to other customers. So, we should decrease the wordlist entries. I know it sounds counterproductive but it is not. The wordlists might contain some payloads that might be exceeding 100 characters or even be too specific for them to extract anything directly. Then we do have some payloads that are the way to similar to each other that if we replace any one of them, the result remains the same. Jon Barber created a script that can remove noisy charters such as ! ( , %. Furthermore, tidy the wordlist so that it can be more effective.

GitHub: CleanWordlist.sh

./clean_wordlists.sh HTML5sec-Injections-Jhaddix.txt

We can check the lines that were removed from the HTML5 Injection wordlist using the diff command as shown in the image above.

diff HTML5sec-Injections-Jhaddix.txt_cleaned < (sort HTML5sec-Injections-Jhaddix.txt) | more

Crafting Wordlists

CeWL

CeWL is a Ruby application that spiders a given URL to a specified depth, optionally following external links, and returns a list of words that can then be used for password crackers such as John the Ripper. CeWL also has an associated command-line app, FAB (Files Already Bagged) which uses the same metadata extraction techniques to create author/creator lists from already downloaded. Here we are running CeWL against the tart URL and saving the output into a wordlist by the name of dict.txt.

GitHub: CeWL – Custom Word List generator

Learn More: Comprehensive Guide on CeWL Tool

Crafting Wordlists: Crunch

Crunch is a wordlist generator where you can specify a standard character set or a character set you specify. crunch can generate all possible combinations and permutations. Here, we used crunch to craft a wordlist with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3 characters and writing the output inside a wordlist by the name of dict.txt.

Learn More: Comprehensive Guide on Crunch Tool

Crafting Wordlists: Cupp

A weak password might be very short or only use alphanumeric characters, making decryption simple. A weak password can also be easily guessed by someone profiling the user, such as a birthday, nickname, address, name of a pet or relative, or a common word such as God, love, money, or password. This is where Cupp comes into use as it can be used in situations like legal penetration tests or forensic crime investigations. Here, we are creating a wordlist that is specific for a person named Raj. We enter the details and upon submission, we have a wordlist that is generated especially for this user.

GitHub: CUPP – Common User Passwords Profiler

Learn More: Comprehensive Guide on Cupp– A wordlist Generating Tool

Crafting Wordlists: Pydictor

Pydictor is one of those tools that both novices and pro can appreciate. It is a dictionary-building tool that is great to have in your arsenal when dealing with password strength tests. The tool offers a plethora of features that can be used to create that perfect dictionary for pretty much any kind of testing situation. Here, we defined the base and length as 5 and then create a wordlist. The wordlist contains the numeric up to 5 digits.

GitHub: pydictor

Learn More: Comprehensive Guide on Pydictor – A wordlist Generating Tool

Crafting Wordlists: Bopscrk

Bopscrk (Before Outset PaSsword CRacKing) is a tool to generate smart and powerful wordlists for targeted attacks. It is part of Black Arch Linux for as long as we can remember. It introduces personal information related to the target and combines every word and transforms it into possible passwords. It also contains a lyric pass module which allows it to search lyrics related to the favourite artist of the target and then include them into the wordlists.

GitHub: Bopscrk

Here, we can see that the wordlist that was crafter from the details that were provided by us is neat and crafter with a high chance to be the actual password of the Raj user.

Crafting Wordlists: BEWGor

For starters, let’s begin with the pronunciation. It is pronounced as Booger. I know not easy to wrap your head around it. BEWGor is designed to help with ensuring password security. It is a Python script that prompts the user for biographical data about a person, referred to as the Subject. This data is then used to create likely passwords for that Subject. BEWGor is heavily based on Cupp but they are different in some ways as It presents vastly Increased Information Detail on Main Subject, it includes support for an arbitrary number of family members and pets, Users can use permutations to generate possible passwords. Also, BEWGor can generate huge numbers of passwords, create Upper/Lower/Reverse variations of inputted values, save raw inputted values to a Terms file before variations are generated, set upper and lower limits on output line length, and check that an inputted Birthday is valid. Birthdays must not be the future, a false leap day, June 32nd, etc.

GitHub: BEWGor – Bull’s Eye Wordlist Generator

After working for a while, we see that we have a refined wordlist for the user Raj. It can now be used to bruteforce the credentials of Raj.

Merging Wordlists: DyMerge

A simple, yet powerful tool – written purely in python – takes given wordlists and merges them into one dynamic dictionary that can then be used as ammunition for a successful dictionary-based (or bruteforce) attack.

GitHub: DyMerge – Dynamic Dictionary Merger

Learn More: Comprehensive Guide on Dymerge

Here, we have two wordlists: 1.txt and 2.txt. Both containing 5 entries each. We will use DyMerge to combine both wordlists.

Running DyMerge, we provide result.txt as the wordlist to be created by merging 1.txt and 2.txt. This can be observed that the result.txt has 10 entries from both of the wordlists.

Crafting Wordlists: Mentalist

It is a GUI tool for crafting custom wordlists. It uses common human paradigms for creating password-based wordlists. It can craft the full wordlist with passwords but it can also create rules compatible to be cracked with Hashcat and John the Ripper.

It generates by joining nodes which in turn take a shape of a chain. The initial node in the chain is called the Base Words node. Each base word is then passed to the next node in the chain as it is processed.  That’s how the words get modified throughout the wordlists. After working on the chain, it finally writes the result of the chain into the file specified or converts it into the rules as per the user request.

Hashcat/John Rules

For offline cracking, there are times where the full wordlist is too large to output as a whole. In this case, it makes sense to output to rules so that Hashcat or John can programmatically generate the full wordlist. Download the release from GitHub.

GitHub: Mentalist

We are using Windows OS here to demonstrate the ability of Mentalist. We have chosen the English Dictionary as the Base Words. It calculates that 235,886 possible keywords can be manipulated into the passwords by taking English dictionaries as a base.  Then we provide some additional options such as Case and if we want to substitute entries and If we want to add Special Character after each entry.

After running for a while, it has crafted a text file by the name of dict.txt. It contains all the passwords that were possible to craft as per our requirements.

Conclusion

The point that we are trying to convey through this article is that wordlist is one of the most important assets a penetration tester can have. There are multiple resources to get a wordlist and multiple tools to craft a wordlist of your own. We wanted this article to serve as your go-to guide whenever you are trying to learn or use a wordlist or any of the tools to craft a wordlist.

Kali Linux is one of the most famous distros for hacking and penetration testing, but it does not come with office software. Thus, we can install LibreOffice on Kali Linux using only one terminal command, if needed.

After Apache OpenOffice, LibreOffice is another widely used free and open-source office. In the free category, LibreOffice is one of the finest alternatives to Microsoft office. It includes all of the modules which we need to complete our document-related activities.

From word processing to a spreadsheet and the development of presentations, all aspects are covered. In addition to many other formats, Microsoft formats like DOC and DOCX are also supported.

What is LibreOffice?

LibreOffice is a free and powerful office suite that is used by millions of people all over the world. It is a simple interface and feature-rich tool which help us to unleash our creativity and increase our productivity.

LibreOffice contains a various application which makes it the most versatile free and open-source office suite on the market:

• Writer (word processing) = MS Word
• Calc (spreadsheets) = Microsoft Excel
• Impress (presentations) = Microsoft PowerPoint
• Draw (vector graphics and flowcharts).
• Base (databases), = MS Access
• Math (formula editing).

Supported Documents Extension by LibreOffice

LibreOffice is compatible with a wide range of document formats like Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx), Excel (.xls, .xlsx), PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx) and Publisher.

However, LibreOffice goes much farther with its native support for a modern and open standard, the Open Document Format (ODF).

Method 1: How to Install LibreOffice in Kali Linux Using Terminal

We have to follow the following steps to install LibreOffice in Kali Linux using terminal:

1. First, we have to open the terminal.

2. Next, we have to update Kali Linux with the help of the following command:

When we run the apt-get update command, we have to take care of one thing, which is, we have added the kali Linux repository. If we forget to add repository source in the source.list file then we might face some problem,

3. Now, by executing the following command, we can install the LibreOffice in Kali Linux:

4. Run LibreOffice. In order to run it, we have to go to All Application and search for our recently installed open-source office suite. As its icon appears, run it to begin working with our document-related tasks.

Method 2: How to install LibreOffice in Kali Linux

If we face any issue to install LibreOffice on our Kali System via apt-get command as we have described above. Then we can download an executable file from the official website of LibreOffice and install it appropriately on our machine using the dpkg command.

Go to the following link and download LibreOffice.

https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/

The following are some facts which we have to keep in mind while downloading LibreOffice in Kali Linux:

• Kali Linux is a Debian-based operating system, so we need to download the .deb
• Because the most recent version of LibreOffice is only compatible with 64-bit Linux systems. As a result, our Kali installation must be 64-bit

The following are the steps in order to install LibreOffice in Kali Linux:

1. First, we have to Open the link. https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/
2. Next, we have to select «Linux (64-bit) (deb)» from the-drop down menu. This option is available to choose our operating system. Then we have to click on the download
   
3. Then, a new window will appear; select Save File radio button, and then we have to click on the «OK» button to save the file.

Install LibreOffice in Kali Linux by dpkg Command

As we have downloaded an executable file with the .deb extension for Kali Linux. By default, download files go to Download folder, so we have to use the cd command in order to change the directory. Use the following syntax:

The File that we have downloaded is LibreOffice_7.2.4_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz, This file is in zip format,

We need to extract it first. In order to extract this file, we need to use tar command.

Next, we have to use the ls command in order to view available content inside the current folder, which is Downloads.

After extracting, we will see a new folder has appeared. Take a look inside it. After that, go inside the DEBS folder. We can accomplish this by using the commands shown below.

The contents of the DEBS folder can be viewed using the ls command once more. There are numerous .deb files to be found.

As we know, LibreOffice includes a number of tools. For example, LibreOffice Calculator, LibreOffice writer, presenter, etc.

We have to install all packages which exist inside the DEBS folder. So, use the following command to install deb file in Ubuntu of all type of package with the help of the single dpkg command as follows.

Now, we can open LibreOffice in Kali Linux:

In order to open it, simply go to the search application bar and search for LibreOffice. As we can see in the following image

Now, we can see in the above screenshot that LibreOffice has been installed appropriately.

Uninstall LibreOffice in Kali Linux

If we want to uninstall LibreOffice in our system, then we can uninstall it with the help of the following steps:

Step 1: First, we have to open the terminal and type the below command:

Step 2: Next, we have to run the following command in order to clean the apt database.

Step 3: Now, in order to remove the useless tool utility, we have to run the following command:

aircrack-ng handshake.cap -w /path/to/wordlist.txt

How To Download Wordlists

git clone https://github.com/kennyn510/wpa2-wordlists.git

cd wpa2-wordlists/Wordlists/Crackdown2016

gunzip *.gz

cat *.txt >> full.txt

Clean Up Wordlists Using Bash One-Liners

awk '!(count[$0]++)' old.txt > new.txt

awk '{print length, $0}' old.txt | sort -n | cut -d " " -f2- > new.txt

sort old.txt | uniq > new.txt

cat file1.txt file2.txt > combined.txt

egrep -v "^[[:space:]]*$" old.txt > new.txt

Before 2020 we don’t recommended Kali as a full time usable OS because of it’s root default user. Default root user is for advanced users only. Beginners could harm their-self as root (super user).But with the 2020.1 update root user is not default. Like other normal Debian based distribution Kali also moved to non-root user in default which is more traditional security model.

It increase the use of

Kali Linux as a daily Desktop OS

, means no VMWare neither dual boot. We can use it to do day to day stuffs while we are not doing any penetration testing job.

Even kids are running Kali Linux.  Image Source:Twitter/kalilinux

Here a problem occurs that Kali Linux comes with it’s pre-installed penetration testing tools, and some simple and lightweight system tools(Thuner File Manager, Parole Media Player etc).

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libreoffice -y

sudo apt-get install vlc -y

sudo apt-get install cheese -y

sudo apt-get install bluetooth bluez bluez-tools rfkill -y

sudo service bluetooth start

sudo apt-get install nautilus-share -y

Terminator is a special terminal looks like GNOME default terminal but it have many features loaded like multi-window.

Terminator Multi-Window

We can install Terminator by using following command:

sudo apt-get install terminator -y

This will install terminator terminal on our Kali Linux system. We can launch it by searching on our application menu.

Installing Windows Application in Kali Linux

We can easily install Windows application in Kali Linux using Wine tool. Now Wine supports latest Windows applications. WINE is not an emulator. For more information we can check this article.
