kali

Kali Linux rolling base image with core security tools for Apple's native Containerization framework.

Prerequisites

• macOS 26+ (Tahoe)
• Apple Silicon
• container CLI installed
• container-cast (for standalone binaries)

Usage

Run as container

make build          # Build the image
make run            # Spawn ephemeral shell at kali.lab

Cast as standalone binary

make install        # Build, cast, and install to /usr/local/bin
kali                # Launch interactive zsh shell
kali <command>      # Run a single command

All targets

make status      Show builder, DNS, images, and containers
make build       Build the container image
make cast        Cast into a standalone binary
make install     Cast and install to /usr/local/bin
make uninstall   Remove from /usr/local/bin
make run         Run the container
make clean       Remove image and prune unused resources
make dns         Configure .lab DNS domain (run once, needs sudo)
make nuke        Kill and restart the builder (fixes hangs)
make help        Show all targets

What's Inside

• Kali Linux rolling
• kali-linux-core metapackage

RUN apt-get install -y kali-linux-web          # Web application tools
RUN apt-get install -y kali-tools-wireless     # Wireless tools
RUN apt-get install -y kali-tools-exploitation # Exploitation frameworks
