Setting Up Your Kali Linux Environment

# Introduction

In this lab, you will learn how to set up and explore a Kali Linux environment using Docker within the LabEx VM. Kali Linux is a powerful Debian-based distribution tailored for penetration testing and cybersecurity tasks. By running Kali Linux in a Docker container, you can create an isolated environment to practice security tools without affecting the host system.

You will start by pulling and launching a Kali Linux Docker container, accessing its terminal, and verifying the setup. Then, you will explore basic terminal commands, update the system using essential package management tools, and check the Kali version and system information to confirm everything is configured correctly. This hands-on experience will provide a solid foundation for working with Kali Linux in a containerized environment.
