HOW TO START THE VNC SERVER

REQUIREMENTS:

1. Make sure you have a VNC server and Desktop environment installed. (The full installation has them pre-installed, see here)

2. Install NetHunter KeX, or a VNC viewer of your choice.

PROCEDURE:

1. Login in Kali NetHunter and run command vnc to start the VNC server. The server will be started at localhost (127.0.0.1).

Tip: The program also displays help information with option -h or --help to guide you further.

2. On the first run, you will be prompted for a password. You will use this password to login and connect to the VNC server.

3. Now open NetHunter KeX and login with the password in step 2.

User	Display	Port	Address
Root	:0	5900	localhost:0
Other	:1	5901	localhost:1

HOW TO INSTALL XFCE AND VNC SERVER

1. Login in Kali NetHunter.

2. Make a full upgrade of your system.

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

3. Run the following commands.

sudo apt install dbus-x11 tigervnc-standalone-server kali-desktop-xfce

Tip: This will take a while, just make sure you don't exit Termux during the installation or you might run into some problems later.

USING AS ROOT

Installing/Running Kali NetHunter as root can have unintended effects, and should only be done when you are sure of what's happening in the background (how linux works) or you might damage your device, even worse bricking it.

For that reason, I have added an anti root fuse and disabling it will require you to comment out the appropriate lines from the installer script.

NOTE: You can still have root privileges within Kali NetHunter provided by proot, even without installing as root. (see the proot manual pages)

You will have to search and comment out the function call to check_root in the installer script. i.e

  ...
  # check_root
  ...

HOW TO UNINSTALL KALI NETHUNTER

To uninstall Kali NetHunter, run the installer script (install-nethunter.sh) with option --uninstall.

NOTE: If you installed Kali NetHunter in a custom directory, also supply the path to the directory as an argument.

bash install-nethunter.sh --uninstall
