Installing Kali on VirtualBox

Oracle VM VirtualBox is a powerful, open-source virtualization tool that allows you to run multiple virtual machines (VMs) on your computer simultaneously. It's versatile, supporting a wide range of guest operating systems, from Windows, Linux, and macOS to niche systems like Solaris and various versions of BSD. VirtualBox provides a user-friendly interface for managing VMs, configuring their hardware settings, and interacting with them as if they were independent computers running on your physical machine. It's popular among developers, testers, and enthusiasts for its robustness, flexibility, and extensive customization options without requiring dedicated hardware.
