Introduction

The following labs will require the installation of a couple of tools.

For that reason, feel free to snapshot your Kali and:

• Put a NAT adapter

• Remove everything in /etc/network/interfaces and keep only:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

• Restart it

• Verify internet connectivity:

ip a
ping 1.1.1.1

Install GEF

GEF (GDB Enhanced Features) - a modern experience for GDB with advanced debugging capabilities for exploit devs & reverse engineers on Linux

sudo apt update  
  
sudo apt install -y gdb git python3-pip python3-venv

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://gef.blah.cat/sh)"  
  
## Verify GEF loads
gdb -q -ex "quit"

Install Pwntools

pwntools: CTF framework and exploit development library

sudo pip3 install pwntools --break-system-packages

Ideally, if you successfully installed both tools, you should see something like this:
