your public IP when you are under Tor proxy), or if Tor has been configured correctly. Note that it has to be issued ‘localhost’ and not ‘127.0.0.Kalitorify is a shell script for Kali Linux which use iptables settings to create a transparent proxy through Tor Network, the program also allows you to perform various checks like checking the Tor Exit Node (i.e. Privoxy will by default listen on localhost:8118 as a HTTP proxy. The service is afterwards started with service privoxy start # if you need to access local servers you therefore might want # The public Tor network can’t be used to reach your local network, To chain the privoxy trafic through TOR uncomment the 4 lines in the config file: nano /etc/privoxy/config Run the trafic through another scrubber, Privoxy. Next step is not necessary, but I usually recommend it. This will have created a sock5 listener on port 9050, which will forward trafic through the TOR network. Now the TOR service can then be started with: service tor start Hence NTP should be updated (particulary if running on a VM installation which has been in hibernation). TOR is depended on accurate time information. The configuration file bundled is good to go for purposes described here, but should the need be to reconfigure the listening port or other config it can be done with: nano /etc/tor/torrc Simply issue from terminal: apt-get install tor TOR is easily installed using the apt package. It is curiously enough also a favorite way of hiding tracks (primary the Pentesters origin) when doing pentesting. TOR is a anonymous proxy network made freely available by privacy enthusiasts. This will update all the software packets and distribution to the latest and greatest versions. The first thing you will want to do (and do once in a while) is running the following one-liner from console: apt-get update & apt-get upgrade -y –force-yes & apt-get dist-upgrade -y –force-yes Henceforth it it is assumed that the Kali installation is up and running 🙂 Update to latest and greatest versions Lots of fine manuals as to get it up and running is available, so go Google it (pretty straightforward). However for the casual user the VM installation should be just fine. Other install methods are also possible, as live USB boot etc. The easiest way of getting started (assuming a standard Windoze user) is by running it in a virtualized enviroment such as VMware Workstation or similar.

The distribution can be downloaded from here in various formats. Kali linux is maintained by Offensive Security and is based on a Debian Linux distribution, with a build-in base of approx.

It will furthermore go a little into how the environment can be setup in order to provide anonymity and privacy. This post will get you started with the Pentest Linux distribution of choice, Kali (now in version 1.1.0 and formerly known as Backtrack).
