5.1 Modifying the APT installation source

Modify /etc/apt/sources.list to look like this:

root@kali:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
#The official source
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
#USTC source
deb http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib 
deb-src http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
Copy the code

Domestic words suggest the use of ali cloud source or the source of the university of science and Technology, official source is slower.

root@kali:~# apt update && apt -y full-upgrade
Copy the code

After the installation is complete, restart and check the version

root@kali:~# grep VERSION /etc/os-release
