   If you'd like to follow along the pentesting lessons with Kali Linux and you're not sure how to install it, here are some helpful resources:

   1. [Install VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/)

   2. [Download an ISO image of Kali](https://kali.training/topic/downloading-kali-linux/)

   3. [Install Kali on VirtualBox](https://www.kali.org/docs/containers/installing-docker-on-kali/)

   Then, at least if you plan on running the Damn Vulnerable Web App, I recommend using Docker to run the app. Here are [instructions for running Docker in Kali](https://cybr.com/cybersecurity-fundamentals-archives/how-to-set-up-the-dvwa-on-kali-with-docker/).

   After that, follow the steps listed in the lesson and have fun!

   Any issues or confusion? Let us know!
