Disposable Kali Linux containers for Mercury ISS / pentesting engagements. Remember: containers don't offer the same level of host isolation as virtual machines.

Feedback and pull requests are welcome!

Starting the Kali environment

• ./start.sh container-name /path/to/data /path/to/scripts /path/to/installers
• Hack away
• /tmp/.docker.xauth may have to be removed to restart the container in the event of a new X session.

Useful Docker commands

• Ctrl + P + Q - from within container, detach and leave it running
• sudo docker ps -as - list running docker containers
• sudo docker attach <container> - attach to container again
• sudo docker exec -it <container> sh -c "stty cols $(tput cols) rows $(tput lines) && bash" start another bash process within the container
• sudo docker stats [container] - container resource usage

TODO

• SPARTA - X11 issues
• postgresql persistence for metasploit
• environment file configuration
• netselect-apt configuration for fast package mirror installation
