The repository includes a recipe file to build a Linux OSINT Distribution for Trace Labs based on the Kali Linux live-build-config (https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/build-scripts/live-build-config/-/tree/master).
The following changes have been made to the default Kali git repo:
- Creation of a folder for Tracelabs under the
kali-config/variant-tracelabs/package-lists/kali-list.chrootpath. Thekali-list.chrootcan be modified to add additional packages or remove pre-configured packages that are required as part of the build process. - Creation of the
kali-config/common/hooks/normal/osint-packages.chrootfile to include the installation steps for all the git repositories that have been included in the build, and do not already have a package. Theosint-packages.chrootfile can be modified to add additional git repositories or remove pre-configured git repositories that are required as part of the build process. Please add any pre-requisite packages to thekali-live/kali-config/variant-tracelabs/package-lists/kali-list.chrootfile. - Creation of the following folders under the directory
kali-config/common/includes.chroot/usr/share/applications: linked to the menu for applicationsbackgrounds: default Tracelabs backgrounddesktop-directories: desktop directories with toolsfirefox-esr/distribution: default Firefox policy
You will need to select "Advanced Install Options" from the main menu then "Text Installer" then "Install"
This build will need to be done in an existing Kali VM on a M1 Mac host.
git clone https://github.com/tracelabs/Trace-Labs-VM-M1-Mac-Build.git
cd Trace-Labs-VM-M1-Build
sudo ./build_tracelabsiso_recipe.sh
If the build process is successful, a .iso file will be created in the /opt directory. The .iso file can be used for live boot or to install the Virtual Machine. The .iso file can also be converted to a .ova file using the ovftool as outlined in the "Converting to an OVA" page (https://www.kali.org/docs/virtualization/converting-to-ova/).
