Custom bash scripts have emerged as powerful tools for automating a range of penetration testing tasks, from reconnaissance to payload creation.
Tailored specifically for use with Kali Linux, these scripts streamline activities like scanning, enumeration, and the generation of malicious payloads using Metasploit.
This article delves into the intricacies of setting up and leveraging such scripts, ensuring that security professionals can efficiently harness their capabilities while also addressing potential issues and troubleshooting.

Hash-based verification ensures that a file has not been corrupted by comparing the file’s hash value to a previously calculated value. If these values match, the file is presumed to be unmodified.
Some users have reported that the fix is to use the VMware image instead of WSL.
Other users have noticed issues when running a pre-made VirtualBox Kali image instead of the bare-metal Kali ISO through VirtualBox.
If you are unwilling or unable to use VMware Workstation to run Kali, we encourage you to try running a Kali ISO as a Guest VM in VirtualBox.
There will be some basic installation instructions you will be required to fill out during the installation.
Note: If you have problems accessing root after setting up a bare metal ISO.
