Download the Kali Linux .iso file.
After downloading the Kali ISO we will build the VM.
Name the VM and choose Linux as the type and Debian (64-bit) as the version. Note we will not provide the ISOP image yet.
Set the Memory and CPUs.
Increase the disk size to at least 100GB. In this example we set it to 120GB.
Review and click finish.
Before starting the VM we have some additional configurations to make.
First, start pfSense. Once pfSense has started, go to settings on Kali Linux.
Go to System. Uncheck Floppy and move Hard Disk and Optical up on the list.
Go to storage. We will now add the ISO file. Highlight Empty and then select the pull down menu by the disk icon and select the Kali Linux iso.
Go to network. Attach the Network Adaptor to Internal Network and Choose LAN 0. Then select the Advanced dropdown. Select Paravirtualized Network.
After double checking to ensure that pfSense is running, we can start Kali Linux.
