Customizing Kali Linux and Setting Up Shell GPT

Initial Setup and System Update

  1. Log into Kali Linux
  2. Open terminal
  3. Update system:
sudo apt update
sudo apt -y upgrade

File System Navigation

  • pwd: Print working directory
  • ls: List files
  • ls -l: Detailed file listing
  • ls -lah: Show hidden files, and human-readable sizes
  • cd: Change directory
  • mkdir: Make directory

Create necessary directories:

mkdir ~/repos
cd ~/repos
mkdir notes

Installing Required Tools

Install Git and btop:

sudo apt install git btop

Check if OpenSSH is installed:

sudo apt install openssh-server

Enable and start SSH service:

sudo systemctl enable ssh
sudo systemctl start ssh
sudo systemctl status ssh

Setting Up SSH on Windows

  1. Install OpenSSH Client and Server:
  • Go to Start Menu > Optional Features image
  • Add OpenSSH Client and OpenSSH Server image
  • Verify installation image
  1. Generate SSH key (open PowerShell as admin):
ssh-keygen
  1. On Kali, create .ssh directory:
mkdir ~/.ssh
  1. Copy SSH key from Windows to Kali (run in PowerShell):
type $env:USERPROFILE\.ssh\id_rsa.pub | ssh username@ip_address "cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"

Setting Up Cursor IDE

  1. Download and install Cursor IDE from: https://cursor.sh/

  2. Open Cursor IDE

  3. Connect to remote host (Kali Linux VM)

  4. Navigate to the ~/repos/notes directory

Installing Shell GPT

  1. Install Shell GPT:
python3 -m pip install shell-gpt

For more information, visit the Shell GPT GitHub repository: https://github.com/TheR1D/shell_gpt

  1. Add Shell GPT to PATH:
export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin

  1. Get OpenAI API key from: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys

  2. Run Shell GPT for the first time:

sgpt "Please introduce yourself"
  1. Enter your OpenAI API key when prompted

Using Shell GPT

Basic usage:

sgpt "Your question or command here"

For generating commands:

sgpt -s "Describe the command you want"

Example:

sgpt -s "run an nmap scan on the top 1000 ports on 10.10.10.10 and output in XML"

This will generate the nmap command, which you can then execute, describe, or abort.

Additional Tips

  • Use the up arrow key to access previously run commands in the terminal
  • Use the history command to see a list of all commands run in the current session
  • btop is a system monitoring tool that can be used to view CPU, memory, and process information
