Kali Linux on Mac: Apple’s New Containerization Sparks Joy and Bugs!
Kali Linux fans rejoice! Apple’s new containerization framework lets you run Kali Linux in a virtualized container on macOS Sequoia. So, grab your Homebrew and brew up some cybersecurity magic. Just remember, it’s Apple Silicon only, so Intel Macs are left sipping their tea in the corner.
Hot Take:
Apple’s “Sequoia” update is like a redwood forest: grand, yet full of bugs. Sure, you can now run Kali Linux on your shiny new Mac, but don’t expect it to sprint like a cheetah through your cybersecurity tasks. More like a sloth on a caffeine high. But hey, at least we’re getting closer to bridging the gap between our favorite fruit-branded tech and the world of ethical hacking!
Key Points:
- Apple’s new containerization framework allows Linux distros to run on Apple Silicon hardware.
- The setup involves a few simple commands using Homebrew on macOS Sequoia.
- Kali Linux can be launched using DockerHub containers, but network bugs are present.
- This feature is exclusive to Apple Silicon, leaving Intel Macs in the dust.
- Hardware passthrough limitations may affect certain cybersecurity use cases.
