Enable SSH on Kali Linux

1. Check if SSH is Installed

which sshd

If no path is returned, SSH is not installed.

2. Install OpenSSH Server (if needed)

sudo apt update
sudo apt install openssh-server

3. Enable and Start SSH

sudo systemctl enable ssh
sudo systemctl start ssh

To check the status:

sudo systemctl status ssh

4. Allow SSH Through the Firewall (Optional)

sudo ufw allow ssh
sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw status

5. Get the IP Address

ip a

Look for the IP under the network interface, such as eth0 or wlan0.

6. Connect from Another Device

ssh username@192.168.x.x

Replace username with your actual user and 192.168.x.x with your device’s IP.
