envSetup

Automated Kali Linux environment setup — installs packages, configures remote access, and restores personal tool configurations from this repo.

What it does

Step	What gets set up
Packages	tmux, openssh-server, xrdp
SSH	Enabled and started on port 22
RDP	xrdp enabled and started on port 3389
Configs	`configs/.tmux.conf` → `~/.tmux.conf`
Burp Suite	Installer downloaded or run from `kali/`, user options and browser profile restored
Wallpaper	`deps/wall.jpg` applied for GNOME or Xfce
Navbar	`kali/kali-custom-navbar.tar.bz2` restored via dconf or extracted to `$HOME`

Usage

git clone <repo-url>
cd envSetup
sudo bash setup.sh

Requires root. Run from a desktop session (not headless) so the wallpaper step can reach the display.

  hgfs-folders.service          # VMware shared folders systemd unit

Burp Suite

The installer (burpsuite_linux_*.sh) is excluded from git (>100 MB). Download it manually from portswigger.net/burp/releases and place it in kali/ before running setup.sh.

Backing up Burp configs

User options — export from Burp → User options → Export and save to kali/burp_settings_final_v2.json.

Built-in browser profile — run on Kali, then commit the output file:

tar -cjf kali/kali-burp-browser.tar.bz2 \
  -C ~/.BurpSuite/pre-wired-browser \
  --exclude="*.log" \
  --exclude="Code Cache" \
  --exclude="GPUCache" \
  --exclude="ShaderCache" \
  --exclude="blob_storage" \
  Default/Preferences \
  Default/Bookmarks \
  Default/Extensions \
  "Default/Local Extension Settings" \
  "Default/Local Storage"

Navbar backup

Create or update the navbar archive on Kali, then commit it:

# GNOME — dump dconf
dconf dump / > navbar.dconf
tar -cjf kali/kali-custom-navbar.tar.bz2 navbar.dconf
rm navbar.dconf

# Xfce — back up panel config files
tar -cjf kali/kali-custom-navbar.tar.bz2 -C ~ .config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml
