Problem carrying your Kali Linux with you? Or are you struggling hard to get the public IP associated with Kali Linux? Both and many of the problems can be solved by hosting the Kali Linux in the Amazon AWS (EC2) Cloud.

This video tutorial discusses the steps:

• Configure the Amazon AWS account
• Configure the Kali Linux instance in the AWS
• Access the cloud based OS via SSH (using PuTTy in Windows and SSH in your Linux)
• Install GNOME desktop environment on Kali Linux using the terminal
• Setup the SSH tunneling (use TightVNC to access the GUI of the cloud based OS)

For Linux users:

chmod 400 key_pairs.pem ls -lah | grep key_pairs ssh -i key_pairs.pem ec2-user@PublicDNS

Local Linux machine:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install xfce4 xfce4-goodies tightvncserver

Install the GUI in the Kali Linux:

apt-get install gnome-core kali-defaults kali-root-login desktop-base tightvncserver –geometry 1024x768

Local Kali Machine:

ssh -L 5901:localhost:5901 -N -f ec2-user@PublicDNS -i key_pairs.pem netstat -anop | grep 590
