How to Install sysPass on Kali Linux

In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install sysPass on Kali Linux latest version. sysPass is a web-based password manager that allows you to securely store and manage your passwords.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you will need to have the following:

  • Kali Linux installed on your system
  • A user with sudo privileges
  • Internet connection

Step 1: Install Dependencies

To install sysPass, we need to install some prerequisites first. Open Terminal and run the following command to update the package list:

sudo apt-get update

Once the update is complete, run the following command to install the required dependencies:

sudo apt-get install apache2 php php-fpm php-mysql mariadb-server mariadb-client -y

Step 2: Configure MariaDB

Now, we need to configure the MariaDB database server. Run the following command to start the configuration:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

You will be prompted to set a root password, remove anonymous users, disallow remote root login, and remove test databases. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the configuration.

Step 3: Download sysPass

Next, we need to download the latest version of sysPass from the official website. Open Terminal and run the following command:

wget https://github.com/nuxsmin/sysPass/archive/master.zip

Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded file using the following command:

unzip master.zip

Move the extracted folder to the Apache web root directory using the following command:

sudo mv sysPass-master/ /var/www/html/syspass

Step 4: Configure Database

Now, we need to create a database and a user for sysPass. Run the following command to log in to the MariaDB server using root credentials:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter the root password, then run the following commands to create a database and a user for sysPass:

CREATE DATABASE syspass;
CREATE USER 'syspass'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOUR_PASSWORD';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON syspass.* TO 'syspass'@'localhost';

Replace "YOUR_PASSWORD" with a strong password for the sysPass user.

Step 5: Configure Apache

We need to configure Apache to serve sysPass. Open the Apache configuration file using the following command:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

Add the following configuration block between the <VirtualHost> tags:

<Directory /var/www/html/syspass>
  AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Save and close the file. Restart Apache to apply the changes using the following command:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 6: Install sysPass

We are ready to install sysPass now. Open a web browser and navigate to http://your_ip_address/syspass. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

During the installation, you will be asked to enter database details. Enter the following details:

  • Database Type: MySQL
  • Database Host: localhost
  • Database Name: syspass
  • Database User: syspass
  • Database Password: YOUR_PASSWORD (the password you set in Step 4)

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured sysPass on Kali Linux. You can now securely store and manage your passwords using sysPass.
