      I’ve been exploring ways to use Kali Linux tools on my Android phone and came across a detailed guide on how to download and install Kali Linux on VirtualBox for PC users (https://dtptips.com/how-to-download-and-install-kali-linux-on-virtualbox-a-step-by-step-guide-for-beginners/). While the article is very thorough for beginners looking to set up Kali Linux on a virtual machine, I’m curious about the options available for Android users.

      Has anyone successfully run Kali Linux or its tools directly on Android devices? What are the best methods or apps for this? Is using a virtual environment like the one described in the guide feasible on Android, or are there better alternatives for mobile devices? Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

      @Kiran Singh That guide is great for setting up Kali Linux on a PC using VirtualBox, but for Android, the process is quite different since VirtualBox isn’t available on mobile OS. You might want to look into apps like UserLAnd or Termux, which let you run Linux environments directly on your phone without needing a VM. Those tools won’t give you a full Kali desktop experience, but you can install many Kali tools within them for penetration testing on the go.
