2. Configure SSH or user login access on the image


Login with created user during installation in my case.
User: haseeb Pass: infotech and Open up the Terminal.

Set root account password.


$ sudo -i
# passwd
# New Password: toor
# Retype New Password: toor

Change the SSH configuration file and Un-hash (#) these two entries
# nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

PermitRootLogin yes
PasswordAuthentication yes

permanently enable the SSH service to start on every reboot.

# systemctl enable [Link]


# systemctl start [Link]
# systemctl status [Link]

Make sure you have SSH access:

# ssh root@localhost

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? Yes


root@localhost’s password: toor
root@kali:~# exit

# ssh haseeb@localhost

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? Yes


haseeb@localhost’s password: infotech
haseeb@kali:~# exit
root@kali:~# poweroff

3. Convert a .vdi or .qcow2 disk image to [Link] format

Open Windows Command Prompt: Win+R then type cmd


cd "\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox"
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>

Convert .qcow disk image to [Link] format


In my case source locations: H:\0-VirtualBox\Kali\[Link] Destination location F:\[Link]

Very Important: do not rename [Link] to any other name but [Link]

C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>

VBoxManage clonemedium H:\0-VirtualBox\Kali\[Link] F:\[Link] --format RAW

4. Compress the [Link] image file


On Windows Open up your WSL Linux or WSL Ubuntu.

If you do not have WSL Linux, installed first, we are going to use tar for compression.

Change directory to [Link] file location: In my case

$ cd /mnt/f/
tar --format=oldgnu -Sczf [Link] [Link]

Very Important: do not rename [Link] otherwise it will not work.
