In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing dnsmasq on Kali Linux Latest.
Firstly, we need to download dnsmasq from the official website. Open the terminal and use the following command to download the latest version:
wget http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/dnsmasq-latest.tar.gz
After downloading the file, we need to extract it. The following command will extract the downloaded tar file:
tar -xvf dnsmasq-latest.tar.gz
Once the file is extracted, navigate to the extracted directory using the following command:
cd dnsmasq*
Now, we can install dnsmasq using the following commands:
sudo make
sudo make install
After completing the installation process, we need to configure dnsmasq. Open the configuration file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/dnsmasq.conf
Now, we can add our desired configurations to the file. For example, we can define our localhost IP address and hostname:
# Localhost IP address
listen-address=127.0.0.1
# Hostname
server=/myhostname.local/127.0.0.1
Save and exit the file.
Finally, we can restart dnsmasq using the following command to apply the changes made in the configuration file:
sudo systemctl restart dnsmasq
Congratulations, you have successfully installed and configured dnsmasq on Kali Linux Latest!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
