If the result of running this command is True, you are ready to go 8 : As I’m lazy – and thus efficient 😀 – I did this with the Python Shell (see Screenshot below modify the command with your checksum data). The alphanumeric string under the column Hash is the information we need to compare to the SHA256Sum that we took note of before in this tutorial. If everything worked well, you should see something like this: Get the hash from the OVA file Here run the following command (modify it with the name of the file that you downloaded): Get-FileHash -Algorithm sha256. The next step is to open the Windows PowerShell and cd 7 into the directory where you saved the OVA image. While downloading, take note of the checksum (SHA256Sum) written next to the file that you selected: OVA images and SHA256Sums on As I use VirtualBox 6, I downloaded the VirtualBox 64-bit file. Here you should choose the OVA image compatible with your hypervisor. In order to do this, go the official website of Offensive Security 5. The first step of this process is to download the OVA image. Before importing the OVA image into the hypervisor, we need to make sure that this file wasn’t damaged during the download and perhaps more importantly that this is an authentic copy. Such copy is distributed as an OVA 4 package, which is an archive file that contains metadata for the VM – such as name or hardware requirements – and at least one disk image, among other things.



The second method is to import a copy of an existing virtual machine into the hypervisor. Once this is done, the Kali ISO image 3 needs to be attached to the virtual CD-ROM and then the VM can be booted. The first is to create a new VM and manually configure it on the hypervisor 2. There are two ways to install Kali Linux on a virtual machine. You have downloaded an image to install Kali Linux 1 as a virtual machine (VM) on your hypervisor and you want to make sure that this file is an integral and authentic copy? If the answer to this question is yes, keep reading! In this blog entry, I will describe how to verify the integrity and authenticity of a Kali Linux OVA image with Windows 10.
