Markdown Tutorial: How to Install Passbolt on Kali Linux Latest

Introduction

Passbolt is an open-source password management system that is designed to provide an easy-to-use and secure way to store passwords. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Passbolt on Kali Linux Latest in a few simple steps.

Prerequisites

Before we begin with the installation of Passbolt, make sure the following requirements are met:

• Kali Linux Latest is installed
• You have administrative access to the system
• You have a root user account

Installation

Below is a step-by-step guide to installing Passbolt on Kali Linux Latest:

Step 1: Install Required Packages

The first thing to do is to update and install the required packages. Run the following commands to do so:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install apache2 php php-mysql php-gnupg openssl gnupg

Step 2: Download and Install Passbolt

Next, we need to download the Passbolt archive from the official website. Run the following command to do so:

$ wget -O passbolt.zip https://www.passbolt.com/ce/download/latest

Extract the downloaded archive and move it to the web server directory with the following command:

$ unzip passbolt.zip
$ sudo mv passbolt /var/www/

Step 3: Enable HTTPS

We need to enable HTTPS to ensure secure communication between the server and clients. To do so, we need to generate an SSL certificate.

Run the following commands to create a self-signed SSL certificate:

$ sudo mkdir /etc/ssl/private/
$ sudo chmod 700 /etc/ssl/private/
$ sudo openssl genrsa -des3 -out /etc/ssl/private/passbolt.key 2048
$ sudo openssl rsa -in /etc/ssl/private/passbolt.key -out /etc/ssl/private/passbolt.key
$ sudo openssl req -new -key /etc/ssl/private/passbolt.key -out /tmp/server.csr
$ sudo openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in /tmp/server.csr -signkey /etc/ssl/private/passbolt.key -out /etc/ssl/certs/passbolt.crt

Next, we need to enable SSL module and disable the default Apache virtual host configuration. Run the following commands to do so:

$ sudo a2enmod ssl
$ sudo a2dissite 000-default

Step 4: Configure Virtual Host

Now, we need to configure a virtual host for Passbolt. Create a new virtual host configuration file in the Apache sites-available directory with the following command:

$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/passbolt.conf

Add the following content to the file and save it:

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
ServerName your-passbolt-domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/passbolt
<Directory /var/www/passbolt>
    AllowOverride all
</Directory>
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/passbolt.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/passbolt.key
</VirtualHost>

Replace your-passbolt-domain.com with your own domain name.

Next, run the following commands to enable the virtual host:

$ sudo a2ensite passbolt.conf
$ sudo service apache2 restart

Step 5: Access Passbolt

Finally, you can access Passbolt by pointing your web browser to https://your-passbolt-domain.com.

You will be prompted to create a new administrator account and set up the necessary configurations.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have successfully installed Passbolt on Kali Linux latest. You can now enjoy the benefits of a secure and user-friendly password management system.
