Nice presentation David, however you could emphasis that the rootless option doesn't allow 'monitor' mode for the external adopters, unlike 'rooted' option. Keep up the good work mate!
Hello david, at some point you where putting your password on your phone and you sensored the screen but everyone can see which number you where tapping on, just wanted to point that out if this phone is your daily driver.... nice installation instructions as always you brought us the best content, keep up the good work! and Thanks
There are mass limitations to Kali-Net hunter Rootless. I advise you root or just host a Linux VPS and just SSH in via Termux if you want full functionality. Though it is a great way for beginners to start getting a feel for kali on mobile devices.
@@antoniosebastian6590 Nethunter rootless can’t access any hardware. So WIFI and Bluetooth hacking is out of the picture. If it comes to password cracking and manual bug bounty a decent knowledge of coding is advised. Selenium is not supported as well and there are numerous well used packages that require certain dependencies that can’t be installed.
Not really many are more than likely just using for recon then when they find something of interest can bust out a laptop and do what they gotta do 🤷🏽♂️ makes it less obvious that your trying to crack someone’s WiFi 😂
@@outcome2715 that’s fair but with fully rooted android 8GB+ ram and 128GB+ storage. You are less likely to be labeled the attacker than if you pulled out the laptop. The point of net-hunter is to increase your anonymity and mobility. Personally I would have a rooted android and PC tablet or Tablet
Would I be able to connect to a VM running kali from my phone with kex?I can't get the GUI to run on a note 20 ultra.followed all the steps maybe shh would be ideal.
For Android 13 users: there is no child processes option in Dev. Settings. You have to put termux to: never sleeping apps. In device care > battery > background usage limits. Edit: and in some cases it just helped, but not solved the issue. So its worth to try it out if it works for you, since its like 4 clicks in the settings.
ALSO: In settings go to manage the termux app. Make sure you click battery then select unrestricted. Android is killing the OS to optimize battery life. Turning this to unrestricted fixed the issue for me.
David, THANK YOU for this! This was excellent instruction. Very clear. Hard to imagine how difficult it may be to run Kali GUI on a smartphone screen, but thanks for sharing how. You rock. 👍👏🤘
you can bluetooth connect a foldable keyboard+pad or a usbc keyboard+mouse to it, and try streaming the screen to a smart tv. Of course is not the same experience as of a "real computer", but if you're on the road...

@@IidentifyAsTheRightPerson Hi. Kali linux is Operating system (linux distribution) like Ubuntu, centOs, fedora...

So hackers can use kali linux as well as security engineers and specialists...
Und jetzt bedienst du das Handy mit Tastatur und Maus oder gibt es ein Handymodus um alle Menüs per Touch zu bedienen ohne die Anzeige von den Standard-Minimenüs?
Old school!!!! But continue for the beginers. NetHunter was released for Asus google nexus 7 (2012 and 2013) which was the powerhouse of it all. As mine is still working with the battery that lasts up to 8 hours straight with the Wi-Fi on! Which is over 10 years I've been with it. And still today I use it. Plus it's over clocked with faster speed!
Great effort with the video and pdf. Thanks. I have no dbus errors but lots postgre-sql and nethunter kex commands along with several other commands don't work. On Android 13. I used an old phone and installed the rooted version which was easier. Can't get the rootless version to work on any device.
thanks for great video David! does this rootless installation allow for using an external Wi-Fi adapter for packet injection and monitoring? also can we use root level required software in kali? Thank you.
From what I've seen with my install. No. Doesn't allow for wifi monitoring with the built in adapter and android tends to not recognize / use any external adapter.
Hey David, I just wanted to drop a massive THANK YOU for your Kali Linux on Android 14 tutorial! 🙌 Your step-by-step guide made me feel like a tech wizard, and now my phone thinks it's a computer - it's a wild, wild world out here! 📱💻 You're the real MVP for sharing your knowledge and making it fun! 🌟 Can't wait to see what kind of hacking shenanigans I can pull off now! 😄 Cheers,
Thank you David, I already installed kali Linux before this video was uploaded, but my cousin didn't know and he had some errors, so when he saw this video, it came in clutch 😂
If you run into the 404 error, hit "nano install-nethunter-termux" then go by BASE URL, at the end of that link you'll see current, change that to "kali-2024.2" then continue, if you don't know how to save hit "CNTRL ^" then hit "CNTRL X" then "CNTRL Y" then enter, continue with the installation from there
Super !!! La traduction en sous titres francais impeccable , j'ai pu tout installer correctement sans comprendre un seul mot d'anglais franchement super vidéo et un grand merci 👍👌
thanks for the tut! install on Lenovo Xiaoxin 12.7" 2023 tablet. those with "child processes signal 9" issue, you have two options, give up the install or READ the video's description.
Be careful not to have misspelled, typically people use an extra "install" in "chmod +x install-nethunter-termux". Make sure you did not write "chmod +x install install-nethunter-termux".
You can cek in $ls -al and execute file chmod 777 or 744./(name file) "./" This is Bash command And execute again ./install-kalinethunter-termux Done you instaling it's
OK I have spent several hours trying to get this to work, it is a great video, very clear, which is why I am pretty sure I did it all correctly, however at the end I get errors such as 7:13 "nh kex command not found". and on running the ADB script in Powershell (does not have a disable child processes option) I get "Invalid command: set_sync_disabled_for_tests" ? The video and the pdf don't help in any way so using a Samsung Phone running Android 11 - 1UI v3.1 then this is not gonna work as advertised. I have seen comments below saying similarly folk cant get the nh commands to work and they went rooted. I will go that way instead. Thanks anyway it has been fun but I am always skeptical when the word "easy" is used in the description for these things, usually it's anything but easy 8-)
I entered "N" just like you did here 4:29, but instead met with this error message, "Configuring NetHunter for Termux ... ./install-nethunter-termux: line 360: kali-arm64/etc/resolv.conf: No such file or directory." Please help. I even reinstalled it after it asked me if i use the existing image file or delete it and create new file. What do i do can anybody fix this?
Thankyou david, im finally able to install kali on my android. But the problem is when i open it for a few minutes, it say “error. Connection failed!” And i wonder if anything i can do to fix it? Can you help me?
Running on Android 13 and was having the dbus problem, this fixed but at first when opening the kex client it would give an error "connection failed. Connection to VNC server failed with reason: failed to Connect to local host/***.*.*.* (port 5901) from /:: (port 33406)...." I changed the vnc to that number (showed at (5:30) ) and it worked! Still crashes after a few minutes, but progress is progress!
Redownload the script again from the URL in the video. I’ve had my fix implemented in the Nethunter project, which fixes the issues that everyone was having!
Okay everyone! Try to download the script again from the link in the video, and basically my fixed code got merged in the main kali Nethunter project last night. It’s up and running again, please reply to this after trying so I can see everyone getting it! 😊
Hi guys, please do comment the posible solutions for the following 1. Disable child app restriction not showing in developer option. 2. Black screen in kex (gui error). 3. What are the limitations in rootless nh. 4. What to do after installation. Dear guys and Mr.David, Kindly do the needful for my queries. Thankyou...😊
Thank you very much for the video and the PDF, I installed Kali successfully but got some issues when launch Kali: 1) I have to run "nh kex" in Termux before "connect" at nethunter kex otherwise would fail to launch Kali, is it correct? 2) I can only use Kali around 5 mins for each launch, and would shown "connection fail" in Kali, and Termux shown "Process completed (signal 9) - press Enter", after press Enter, Termux will jump out. Any cue?
Android 13 has a phantom process that kills any process that uses cpu above certain threshold. I solved this by installing android studio and connecting my tablet with usb and disabling this feature. Now i have kex running. The thing is, on android 13 i dont have any network interface working but on my old samsung phone i can use firrfox inside kali kex with no issues. I still haven't found a work around without rooting my tablet. The only way to have a kali linux desktop exp on my tablet is through an ec2 instance with ssh tunneling
Hello Sir, first of all thanks for your work, it was a great video ! But I have a question, I followed every step (except the one for the disabling child process cause I have Android 13 so I disabled the phantom process killer using adb) but when I connect to open the gui, I only got a black screen even if everything else is working (I can use keyboard and I can see my mouse) maybe you have an idea of why it doesnt show anything except my mouse ?
I didn't know Vinnie Jones was into cyber security.. No but in all seriousness awesome video, I had missed that you could install it and still have use for it without rooting the phone so I've been holding off on installing it on my Dogee S58 Pro (which sucks but is IP68/MIL-STD-810G compliant). Will give it a go immediately.
Thank you David! This is great! Just a quick follow-up question thou, I was able to successfully install and run the GUI (kex). But there seems to be no internet inside the Kali VM. On the top right corner it says something like "Netwoek Manager is not running". That normal? Pardon my ignorance here, if that's the case then how will it able to exec kali network scripts?
Can someone please help me??? followed the PDF and the video about 5 times now. I manage to download and install net hunter with the ./install-nehunter-termux command then the kali logo comes up I press 1 for install full it downloads the full 2gb file successfully but I don't see the same screen as shown and it doesn't ask me to delete root! it just downloads successfully then goes back to the termux command line
@Anonyymiii someone on Facebook managed to help me sort it. Basically run the ./install command then run it again and when it says "there is already an existing file do you want to delete it and install the new one ?" Click No (N) and it will then extract the root file instead of downloading again
bro i am stuck there too, i tried re installing it multiple times, at the end it always prints "Configuring NetHunter for Termux" and right after returns the command line prompt, idk what to do
Sir,, i got this err.. [*] Configuring NetHunter for Termux ... ./install-nethunter-termux: line 363: kali-arm64/etc/resolv.conf: No such file or directory
Thanks Sir David mine is working perfectly now. ❤ i use ADB over Wi-Fi since i don't have a computer ,and on my android 13 theres no disable child process on dev options 😅
Would be interesting to see a video how to set up kali on older phones that people may still have around in their houses. Maybe like a samsung galaxy note 4 or some other old ones.
Without rooting your phone, Nethunter's capabilities are limited. You won't have full access to certain features like monitor mode for your network adapter, which is essential for some advanced Wi-Fi attacks. Root access is typically required for such low-level operations on Android devices. While you can still use some tools and features in Nethunter without rooting, for the full range of capabilities, rooting your device is recommended. Keep in mind that rooting can void your warranty and may pose security risks, so proceed with caution.
I have tried this multiple times and when I try to open the gui I keep getting errors connection failed connection refused.Even when I run nmap on the command line it isn't working. I have a samsung 23+ if it matters.
8:19 I don't have the option to agree or the other option to import anything does anyone know why and is it important? Edit got it didn't matter do I need to setup the termux everytime or is it a one time and done thing second it takes around 3-6 mins to boot me to the kali gui and I can't do anything there does anyone have a fix?
Really good "how-to" but what are the limitations of running it on android as I've always ran Kali and Parrot on my laptops. How versatile is it on a smartphone?
Hello everyone, with this version (without root), can I use the tools in kali nethunter related to hacking wifi and bluetooth, such functions usually did not work in rootless androids. If someone has tried, I am waiting for your answer. Thanks
because of the new version of termux I can't follower the tutorial and instructions on the website properly there's many error I did and many retake and now am stuck it would be delightful if you could make another tutorial, if you want to, this is your RUclips channel after all and its your choice and thank you for creating such an educating video 👍
After following your exact instructions, at the step where we need to install Nethunter KeX it won't let me do that, it keeps saying "there was a problem while parsing the package" and I can't get around that, I restarted the phone, I tried downloading the apk from my pc then transferring it over to my phone and nothing worked, same error message again and again
@@tyler71989 "utilize a botnet". So he can't ddos anybody... he can pay some criminals to do it; which isn't something is going to be shown in a youtube tutorial. And if you need to ask, you probably can't dos somebody because that's a lot more complicated than a ddos (assuming you had a botnet)
It's easy to install Kali Linux on your Android phone without rooting it. This is a rootless install that allows you to run Kali Nethunter as an app on your phone - I'll show you how to do this in 8 minutes.

Doesn't allow for wifi monitoring with the built in adapter and android tends to not recognize / use any external adapter.
@@soul_retiever1102 can we crack wifi with rootless kali
@@ddvvrrsstt from my experience on my home lab, no. Even a lot of the apps In the Kali F-droid store require root to even work at all.
Thank you, I really enjoy the kali Linux video
Very happy to hear that!

Hey David,
I just wanted to drop a massive THANK YOU for your Kali Linux on Android 14 tutorial! 🙌 Your step-by-step guide made me feel like a tech wizard, and now my phone thinks it's a computer - it's a wild, wild world out here! 📱💻
You're the real MVP for sharing your knowledge and making it fun! 🌟 Can't wait to see what kind of hacking shenanigans I can pull off now! 😄
Cheers,
When I use chmod +x install-nethunter-termux along with ./install-nethunter-termux it responds with error404 not found. What do I do now?
David that was an amazing video, thanks so much and that is why I like Android much better than an iPhone!
I remember doing this 4yrs ago, btw good luck with getting network interfaces working
Do you know a way to do so without root on the device?
Even with root it feels nearly impossible. With S6 Edge i was able to.
How to do it
I can't use internet in kali linux on my smartphone
@@deinemudda781989 without root you can only see dummy interfaces, internet can be accessed from termux
I'm in the same boat. Anyone got any advice?
Did you solve the problem of Kali not connecting to the Internet? Please, I need help. @@mattknibb5001
Thank you David, I already installed kali Linux before this video was uploaded, but my cousin didn't know and he had some errors, so when he saw this video, it came in clutch 😂
If you run into the 404 error, hit "nano install-nethunter-termux" then go by BASE URL, at the end of that link you'll see current, change that to "kali-2024.2" then continue, if you don't know how to save hit "CNTRL ^" then hit "CNTRL X" then "CNTRL Y" then enter, continue with the installation from there
still getting 404 but thanks

thanks for the tut! install on Lenovo Xiaoxin 12.7" 2023 tablet.
those with "child processes signal 9" issue, you have two options, give up the install or READ the video's description.
Anyone else having issues trying to imstall ( chmod +x install-nethunter-termux) its says no such file or directory, what am i doing wrong?
Be careful not to have misspelled, typically people use an extra "install" in "chmod +x install-nethunter-termux". Make sure you did not write "chmod +x install install-nethunter-termux".
It saves as the end of the link for the download
You can cek in $ls -al and execute file chmod 777 or 744./(name file)
"./" This is Bash command
And execute again ./install-kalinethunter-termux
Done you instaling it's
i have that problem even if i write command correctly.pls spme1 paste me here command so i can try again later. thnx in advance 🤗
Check your command.. it's case sensitive
OK I have spent several hours trying to get this to work, it is a great video, very clear, which is why I am pretty sure I did it all correctly, however at the end I get errors such as 7:13 "nh kex command not found". and on running the ADB script in Powershell (does not have a disable child processes option) I get "Invalid command: set_sync_disabled_for_tests" ? The video and the pdf don't help in any way so using a Samsung Phone running Android 11 - 1UI v3.1 then this is not gonna work as advertised. I have seen comments below saying similarly folk cant get the nh commands to work and they went rooted. I will go that way instead. Thanks anyway it has been fun but I am always skeptical when the word "easy" is used in the description for these things, usually it's anything but easy 8-)
I entered "N" just like you did here 4:29, but instead met with this error message, "Configuring NetHunter for Termux ...
./install-nethunter-termux: line 360: kali-arm64/etc/resolv.conf: No such file or directory." Please help. I even reinstalled it after it asked me if i use the existing image file or delete it and create new file. What do i do can anybody fix this?
Thankyou david, im finally able to install kali on my android. But the problem is when i open it for a few minutes, it say “error. Connection failed!” And i wonder if anything i can do to fix it? Can you help me?
same here :( solution: type termux-change-repo then select a new one and try again
Or just restart termux
1) nh
2) kex
Run these 2 commands and it will be solved
Use a VPN
I get all the way to ./install but when i set it up i get 404 not found
Me too
Running on Android 13 and was having the dbus problem, this fixed but at first when opening the kex client it would give an error
"connection failed.
Connection to VNC server failed with reason: failed to
Connect to local host/***.*.*.* (port 5901) from /:: (port
33406)...."
I changed the vnc to that number (showed at (5:30) ) and it worked! Still crashes after a few minutes, but progress is progress!
I am getting 404 while running ./install-nethunter-termux and the url for the image also gives 404
same here
I have the same problem
Is there any way to get this error to go away?
I fixed it on my github but here's the directory for it! un1xr00t/nethunter-rootless-fix
Let me know if you have any questions.
Redownload the script again from the URL in the video. I’ve had my fix implemented in the Nethunter project, which fixes the issues that everyone was having!
Okay everyone! Try to download the script again from the link in the video, and basically my fixed code got merged in the main kali Nethunter project last night. It’s up and running again, please reply to this after trying so I can see everyone getting it! 😊
I have instaled kali but i dont have internet conection.
I have resolved this issue
@ANONYMOUS-PK313 how
Yo Dave, thanks heaps bro...I'm now your dedicated follower n student ! Thanks man 👍
Dear David, Thank you so much for this educational video. You literally saved my life… you’re the best
I didn't get the rootfs file delete option. It only shows the file is downloaded
Same. Did u ever find how to fix?
Thank you so much sir finely I installed Kali after 6 months ago. Thank you so much sir ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi guys, please do comment the posible solutions for the following
1. Disable child app restriction not showing in developer option.
2. Black screen in kex (gui error).
3. What are the limitations in rootless nh.
4. What to do after installation.
Dear guys and Mr.David, Kindly do the needful for my queries.
Thankyou...😊
Thank you ,now i have my own kali Linux ♥️♥️
Thank you very much for the video and the PDF, I installed Kali successfully but got some issues when launch Kali:
1) I have to run "nh kex" in Termux before "connect" at nethunter kex otherwise would fail to launch Kali, is it correct?
2) I can only use Kali around 5 mins for each launch, and would shown "connection fail" in Kali, and Termux shown "Process completed (signal 9) - press Enter", after press Enter, Termux will jump out.
Any cue?
Same.
Same here
Same here. Fail to connect
That's Android which is killing the processes
Android 13 has a phantom process that kills any process that uses cpu above certain threshold. I solved this by installing android studio and connecting my tablet with usb and disabling this feature. Now i have kex running. The thing is, on android 13 i dont have any network interface working but on my old samsung phone i can use firrfox inside kali kex with no issues. I still haven't found a work around without rooting my tablet.
The only way to have a kali linux desktop exp on my tablet is through an ec2 instance with ssh tunneling
Fantastic. Easy to follow step by step tutorial.
kali-arm64/etc/resolv.conf: No such file or directory any solution?
did u solved it？

Thank u so Mach your video really 100% work and Android 12 version Run again thanks for sharing video
Hello Sir, first of all thanks for your work, it was a great video !
But I have a question, I followed every step (except the one for the disabling child process cause I have Android 13 so I disabled the phantom process killer using adb) but when I connect to open the gui, I only got a black screen even if everything else is working (I can use keyboard and I can see my mouse) maybe you have an idea of why it doesnt show anything except my mouse ?

Hey, did you find a fix?
@@bl1ngy628 no, I abandoned and just use kali on my laptop instead
Update ?
I didn't know Vinnie Jones was into cyber security..
No but in all seriousness awesome video, I had missed that you could install it and still have use for it without rooting the phone so I've been holding off on installing it on my Dogee S58 Pro (which sucks but is IP68/MIL-STD-810G compliant). Will give it a go immediately.
Thank you David! This is great! Just a quick follow-up question thou, I was able to successfully install and run the GUI (kex). But there seems to be no internet inside the Kali VM. On the top right corner it says something like "Netwoek Manager is not running". That normal? Pardon my ignorance here, if that's the case then how will it able to exec kali network scripts?
just start the network manager by command from google

Same problem here
@Anonyymiii someone on Facebook managed to help me sort it. Basically run the ./install command then run it again and when it says "there is already an existing file do you want to delete it and install the new one ?" Click No (N) and it will then extract the root file instead of downloading again

I still have my Note 8

Agreed 💯
those can be rooted ...
Use a direct rooted method for them. I believe you can't follow this guide if the android version is < 9.
Wow, always wanted something like this on my android..... Well done with the video how to.

What is the limitations of rootless?
Without rooting your phone, Nethunter's capabilities are limited. You won't have full access to certain features like monitor mode for your network adapter, which is essential for some advanced Wi-Fi attacks. Root access is typically required for such low-level operations on Android devices. While you can still use some tools and features in Nethunter without rooting, for the full range of capabilities, rooting your device is recommended. Keep in mind that rooting can void your warranty and may pose security risks, so proceed with caution.
I have tried this multiple times and when I try to open the gui I keep getting errors connection failed connection refused.Even when I run nmap on the command line it isn't working. I have a samsung 23+ if it matters.
No response at chmod +x install-nethunter-termux
What to do??
Same!
Hey what's the offsec website
Idk it didn't show@@HappyAstroStation-se9rl
8:19 I don't have the option to agree or the other option to import anything does anyone know why and is it important?
Edit got it didn't matter do I need to setup the termux everytime or is it a one time and done thing second it takes around 3-6 mins to boot me to the kali gui and I can't do anything there does anyone have a fix?
Hello . nh Kex : command not found
Will you be able to get into monitor mode with this? Can you run reaver? Capture packets? Etc.
On an android?
Really good "how-to" but what are the limitations of running it on android as I've always ran Kali and Parrot on my laptops. How versatile is it on a smartphone?
Wonderful

Sir make a video that how to give DDOS attack by useing kali Linux 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
It's a federal offense to do this even on your own personal network unfortunately so probably not a good idea
Learn about hping and protocols (tcp-udp)
You can't do a DDOS. DDOS requires the work to be distributed. Try Google
@@LennyMiller739 i uh.....what? You can pretty easily DOS or utilize a botnet to DDOS so I bet they were asking if he can show how to DOS
@@tyler71989 "utilize a botnet". So he can't ddos anybody... he can pay some criminals to do it; which isn't something is going to be shown in a youtube tutorial. And if you need to ask, you probably can't dos somebody because that's a lot more complicated than a ddos (assuming you had a botnet)
