Accessing the GUI of the Kali Linux image

The Kali Linux image provided in SkyHiGh comes vith VNC-server enabled for root by default. It listens on TCP 5901. To access it just point the VNC client of your choice to <kali-floating-ip>:5901, you must create an SSH tunnel, and remember and you should be good to go.

Remember to allow incoming traffic on TCP 5901 in a security group . Example for Linux clients:

larserik@sarah:~$ ssh -f -L 15901:<kali floating ip>:5901 <username>@skyhigh.hig.no -N

attached to your Kali machine.

Now you should be able to access the Kali Desktop with a VNC client, when you connect to localhost:15901. The password is "kaliVNC" (feel free to change it to your own liking. In fact, you should really do that.)

To change the password, login to the kali VM via SSH, and run the command vncpasswd
