Kali Linux CTF Build - Ansible Playbook

This is an ansible playbook to set-up and configure a kali machine designed for CTF's like Hack the Box and Try Hack Me.

This is heavily based on Ippsec's Parrot build, but tailored for Kali with a handful of other useful tools thrown in for good measure.

Instructions for installation:

1. Grab the pre-built VM image.
2. Log in as kali:kali
3. Change root password

sudo su -
passwd root
reboot

4. Upon restart, login as root to change kali username

userdel -r olduser
groupdel groupname
adduser newuser
groupadd newgroup
usermod -aG adm,dialout,cdrom,floppy,sudo,audio,dip,video,plugdev,users,netdev,bluetooth,scanner,wireshark,kaboxer newuser
reboot

5. Upon restart, login with new user and pass
6. Update and upgrade

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade

7. Install dependencies and configure git (see below)

python3 -m pip install ansible
sudo apt install ansible-core
cd ~
git clone [email protected]:jecpr/kali-build.git

9. Run Ansible script - note you can leave the extra-vars part out if you don't have or use ngrok.

ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml
sudo whoami
ansible-playbook main.yml --extra-vars "ngrok_authtoken=INSERT_TOKEN_HERE"

9. Restart
10. I use syncthing to synchronise obsidian. If you want to use it, go to syncthing at 127.0.0.1:8384, make bookmark and configure.
11. Configure foxy-proxy (the burp cert is already there).
12. Enjoy :)
