RealVNC

Setting up RealVNC on the Raspberry Pi version of Kali has several "quirks", here's a short guide to get through them. A big reason to use RealVNC is for their cloud access, which is free for personal use and very inexpensive for commercial use.

Notes: -Tested on Kali Linux RaspberryPi 2, 3, 4 and 400 (img.xz) from Offensive Security -RealVNC only works on 32bit version -All commands are run as root

#Ensure your upto date apt update && apt upgrade -y

#Remove TighVNC apt remove tightvncserver

#This is needed for install and resolves the error- /usr/bin/vncserver-x11: error while loading shared libraries: libbcm_host.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory apt install libraspberrypi-dev reboot

#Download latest build for Raspberry Pi ARM wget https://www.realvnc.com/download/file/vnc.files/VNC-Server-6.7.4-Linux-ARM.deb #Install package dpkg -i VNC-Server-6.7.4-Linux-ARM.deb #Enable RealVNC to start on boot systemctl enable vncserver-x11-serviced.service #Start RealVNC in service mode systemctl start vncserver-x11-serviced.service #Check for 0 0.0.0.0:5900 to ensure everything is running netstat -tuna

#To register which allows cloud access you need to be connected to GUI and run sudo vnclicensewiz
