Introduction

Status is a tool that allows you to quickly view the status of your system processes. This guide will show you how to install and set up Status on Kali Linux Latest through the use of the command line.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, ensure the following prerequisites are met:

• Kali Linux Latest is installed on your machine.
• You have root privileges or access to sudo.

Installation

Follow the steps below to install Status on Kali Linux Latest:

1. Navigate to the https://github.com/dani3l0/Status repository.

2. Once there, click on the green "Code" button and select "Download ZIP".

3. Extract the downloaded ZIP file to your desired location. For example, you could extract it directly to your home directory.

4. Open the terminal and navigate to the extracted Status directory.

   $ cd ~/Status
   

5. To install the necessary dependencies, run the command:

   $ sudo apt-get install python-psutil
   

6. Next, execute the following command to add execute permissions to the Status script:

   $ chmod +x status.py
   

7. Finally, run the Status tool by entering the command:

   $ ./status.py
   

   This will display the current status of your system processes.

Configuration

By default, Status will display all running processes on your system. However, you can customize it to display specific process IDs or names.

1. Open the config.json file using a text editor.

   $ nano config.json
   

   This will open the file in the terminal.

2. Edit the configuration settings to define the processes that should be displayed.

   {
     "processes": [
       {
         "name": "apache2",
         "show_arguments": false
       },
       {
         "pid": 1234,
         "show_arguments": true
       }
     ]
   }
   

   In the example above, Status will display the process information for the apache2 process and the process with PID 1234. The show_arguments option can be set to true or false to display or hide the process arguments.

3. Save the changes and exit the text editor.

   To save the changes in nano, press CTRL+O and then CTRL+X to exit.

4. Run Status again to see the updated process information.

   $ ./status.py
