Installing Kali linux in VMWARE

Last time I posted a tutorial on how to install Backtrack 5 in VMware but the Backtrack developer has shut down the maintenance, and had switched it to more powerful and customized OS i.e., Kali Linux. 

Here is the tutorial video on how to install the Kali Linux on the VMware. Although the steps are somewhat similar to installing Backtrack but yet I received a lot mails facing different problems in installing Kali Linux. So follow this tutorial. And don't forget to download VMware and Kali Linux.

Install Backtrack 5 in VMware

Hello friends, I hope you all must have enjoyed your holiday. So, lets get back on track and start the show once again. 

When we search for hacking related tutorials in Google, we come across many tutorials which require Backtrack or Kali Linux. But it is not possible for everyone to install Backtrack into their computer. So in that scenario we can install our penetration testing OS onto a Virtual machine. Before we go to the tutorial part lets have a basic idea on Backtrack and Virtual machine.

Q. What is Backtrack?
--> Backtrack is an OS which has all the pre-installed script and repositories required for performing a penetration testing (in layman language required for hacking). It is the Linux based OS. The present stable version of Backtrack is Backtrack 5. There are few other penetration testing OS like Kali Linux, Black Box, etc.
I would recommend you to use Kali Linux, because the online support for Kali Linux is available and is easy to get. Steps of using are some what same. However, here I will be using Backtrack 5, which is very famous in the field.

Q. What is Virtual Machine?
--> A virtual machine (VM) is an emulation of a particular computer system. Virtual machines operate based on the computer architecture and functions of a real or hypothetical computer, and their implementations may involve specialized hardware, software, or a combination of both. Some of the Virtual machines are VMware, Virtual Box, etc. Here we will be using VMware.

Lets start with the tutorial --------->
