Exercise 1, Chapter 9 – Forking a Kali Package
1. Fork the kali-meta package.
2. Include a new metapackage which contains only 3 of your favorite tools.
3. Create the binary deb files for later use.
Asciinema solution (copy and paste from video permitted):
Text solution:
1. First, let’s update the sources file to include source packages:
|
1 2 3 |
apt-get install devscripts # To install dch nano /etc/apt/sources.list # Uncomment this line: deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib |
Next, grab the source. Note that your version numbers may differ:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
apt-get update apt source kali-meta # This installs all kali-linux-* packages. cd kali-meta-2017.2.0/ ls -l nano debian/control |
2. Change the control file. Include your custom package:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 |
Package: kali-linux-muts Architecture: any Depends: ${misc:Depends}, kali-linux, aircrack-ng, nmap, sqlmap, Description: Kali Linux Custom tools for muts This is Kali Linux, the most advanced penetration testing and security auditing distribution. . This metapackage depends on few of muts' favorites. |
Change the package version number so the rebuilt packages can be distinguished from the originals:
|
1 2 3 |
root@kali:~/kali-meta-2017.2.0# head -1 debian/changelog root@kali:~/kali-meta-2017.2.0# dch --local muts -m "Added a new metapackage" root@kali:~/kali-meta-2017.2.0# head -1 debian/changelog # Check that the changes were made |
3. Finally, build the package:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 |
