Kali linux sources list repositories

The topic of repositories is always a large one, and comes up frequently. It is an item which people often get wrong and confused with. Please take the time to read the information below and any references which is linked to before acting on anything.

Default Network Repository Value

On a standard, clean install of Kali Linux, with network access, you should have the following entry present in /etc/apt/sources.list :

If the output doesn’t exactly match up to the above output, you may not be able to install any new additional packages or receive updates. This may happen for any number of reasons, such as:

You have switched your branch.
Using a different hardcoded mirror.

You will probably want to read the “switching branches” section to alter this.

Since Kali 2020.3, after Kali’s setup is complete, network repositories will be enabled by default, even if there was no network access during installation.

Switching Branches/Regular Repositories

Kali has various different branches to choose from (please take the time to read which one would be the best option for your setup), and you may be able to switch or include additional repositories.

kali-rolling (Default & frequently updated):

kali-last-snapshot (Point release so more “stable” & the “safest”):

kali-experimental (Packages which are under testing — often used with the rolling repository):

Sources.list Format

Archive is going to be deb (Regular Binary) or deb-src (Source), depending if you want a package or the source of the package.
Mirror should be http.kali.org/kali as this is our load balancer, which will direct you to best mirror.
Branch is what version of Kali you wish to use.
Component is what packages you wish to use, based on the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG). Kali defaults to everything.

Default Offline Install Values

During the Kali setup process, if you don’t have access to a network connection to reach a repository, you will perform an offline installation of Kali Linux. You will be limited to the packages & the version which is on the medium you installed Kali from. This will then configure Kali to continue to use this medium to install packages from, even after Kali has been installed.

This means you will not get any updates to packages, or any new additional tools, which can be frustrating. You can see if you the offline media enabled if your values match up with whats below (or if you want to enable this option):

If your output matches whats above, please see the switching branch section, if you wish to receive updates.

However, if you do have network connection, which has access to network repositories, it will be enabled for you. You don’t need to do anything.

Non-Kali Repositories

If you want to install additional tools and software (such as signal) outside of what Kali has to offer, you may need to include an extra repository for this to happen. Please do not alter /etc/apt/sources.list , as this is used for the Kali Linux Operating System. Any extra tools and software needs to be placed into their own file in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ (such as /etc/apt/sources.list.d/repo-name.list , replacing repo-name with the mirror name). It is highly recommended that each mirror should be in its own file.

By adding Kali’s repository to a non-Kali OS (such as trying to add Kali to Ubuntu), this will highly increase the chance of your system not working. It may not happen straight away, but without any warning, it may break. We will not be able to offer support (and based on what we have seen over the years, most other OS will not help too).

Likewise, adding other operating system’s repositories into Kali (such as trying to put Ubuntu on Kali), will break your installation. This is the single most common reason why Kali Linux systems break.

If any guides are telling you to do anything else than the above, this is unofficial advice, and completely not supported by Kali Linux. More often than not, users in this case end up doing a reinstall after learning this lesson.

Mirrors

We have a list of official Kali Linux mirrors, as well as a guide on how to setup your own. This may be kept as a local repository which is only accessible on a LAN, or a remote private one, or if you have the ability to, you may wish to share back to the community and make it public allowing for anyone else in your geographical area to benefit from it.

Source Repositories

By using a deb in the repositories, it will allow for binary packages to be downloaded. However, should you require the source to a package (so you can compile the package yourself if you so wish, or look into debugging a problem with a package), you can add deb-src as a extra line in the repositories.

We used kali-rolling for the branch above, but you can select any value you wish.

You can also try this mirror as repository for your Kali Installation

These mirrors are fast in my country.
