+## Kali Linux
+Once you have VirtualBox downloaded it is time to download Kali Linux. There are two options to choose from. The "customized" one is created by zSecurity. I took a course that he taught and it was great. It works very well but the other Kali machine has a ton of pre-installed tools. Either OVA file will work. They are both great! If you are interested in knowing what bugs he fixed, here is the link to it:<br>

+## kali-linux-2020
+The default user has been changed to a standard, unprivileged user. The default username and password are both "kali".<br>
+
+Prevent Kali from going idle:
+- Click on the power button (top right), then "Power Manager Settings", and then Display
+- Change all of them to "never"
+- Go to security, change the same thing, if you want to. 
+
+To change the password:
+- sudo su (su meaning switch user)
+- Type in the password ("kali")
+- passwd root (we are changing the password for the root user, you.)
+- type in your new password
+
+Now it is time to update. You will need to be patient for this step. Open up a terminal and type in the following:
+
+```unix
+$ apt update && apt -y full-upgrade
+```
+
+After all of that you should be set. When powering down the machine do not use the x button in the corner. Doing that is like pulling the plug on your computer when it is on. You are going to go to VirtualBox, right click on the machine, then close, then power off.<br>

+## Kali 2020 x64 Customized by zSecurity
+After downloading and then double clicking on the OVA file, click on import. If you haven't downloaded Oracle VM extension pack, go ahead and do so now. I explain where it is one directory up. If you have everything downloaded we can now turn on the machine. If you would like to change the name of the machine I would do so now. Click on the machine, then settings, and then in general is where you can change the name. After you do that, hit start.<br>
+
+The log in information is going to be:<br>
+username: "root"<br>
+password: "toor"<br>
+
+Prevent Kali from going idle:
+- Click on the power button (top right), then "Power", and then switch it to never.
+
+The next thing you want to do is update the sources where Kali can search and download programs from with the following command:
+
+```unix
+# apt-get update
+```
+
+If you would like to you can install a terminal that will allow you to have multiple terminal windows open in the same window. You are going to download this with the following command. 
+
+```unix
+# apt-get install terminator 
+```
+
+Press y and hit enter to confirm the download and then it will install on your system. <br>
+<br>
+
+
+## Windows won't let you power on Kali Linux?
+If you are using Windows then you might come across an error in which the machine won't even start. Does it say something like "Failed to open a session for the virtual machine"? If so, try the following and see if it fixes the issue. If it doesn't fix the issue then you can always message in the general slack and ask for help!<br>
+
+What you are going to want to do is first close out your virtual machine manager, in this case it should be VirtualBox. Go to Windows Search and type in "features". Click on "Turn Windows features on or off". Now you are going to disable the following. If any of them are already disabled, then you can skip those:
+- Virtual Machine Platform
+- Windows Defender Application Guard
+- Windows Hypervisor Platform
+- Windows Sandbox
+
+Click ok and restart your computer.

+# Virtual Machines
+Here are a few virtual machines along with instructions on how to download them. <br>
+
+If you are unfamiliar with what virtualbox, Linux, and Kali Linux are, then head on over to the "where to start" directory where I have added some great links to videos and readings on those topics. I'll even give you a link right to it, here: [Let's Learn](/0_Where_To_Start) <br>
+<br>
+
+## Before you get started
+Before you get started, I recommend downloading a download manager. It is not necessary but can be helpful. You can download a popular and free one called [Free Download Manager](https://www.freedownloadmanager.org/). I mean, that name could not be better. If you ever google "hey I want a free download manger", boom that's the first thing that is going to pop up. If you're not sure why you should get it maybe this article will help. <br>
+[Why You Should use a Download Manager](https://www.hellotech.com/blog/use-download-managers)<br>
+
+I also recommend you create a folder in your home directory called VirtualBox images and store all of these images that you are downloading in there. You can also create folders for each of the machines within VirtualBox images. The two Kali machines and the Parrot OS machine can go in a folder called OVA files. The SEEDLabs Ubuntu machines can go in a folder called VMDK files and the iso image can go in a folder called ISO Images. Stay organized, it only makes life easier! <br>
+<br>
+
+## Virtualbox
+If you don't already have virtualbox then go ahead and download it. We all use it so if you have any trouble with it don't be afraid to ask for help! I reccomend also downloading the extension pack after your installation for virtual box has finished. You will find it right under the download you just clicked on. It will be called "Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack". Download it and then double-click it. It will open virtual box and then just hit install. <br>
+[VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/) <br>
+
+With whatever virtual machine you decide to download, after running the instructed update and upgrade commands make sure you take a snapshot! Doing so will save the state of the machine. You will title it "fresh install" and for the description you will put something along the lines of "Just installed this vm and ran the instructed update commands". Now if anything happens to your machine you can always restore this snapshot and run it like you just installed it. It is recommended that you create snapshots before doing anything big. I will always take a snapshot after downloading certain tools because some of them can be a pain to downlaod and install.
