Access Kali Linux through Remote System
Access Kali Linux through Remote System
There are several open source and enterprise software program through which we can access remote system. These software becomes a necessity when you setup a remote server and do not allow direct access to the server, as because of some security measures. PuTTy is one of the major terminal emulator through which we can access a remote server. PuTTy is a free and open-source terminal emulator, serial console and network file transfer application. It supports several network protocols, including SCP, SSH, Telnet and rlogin. Here, I am going to show you how to access Kali Linux through PuTTy. My base computer is running Windows 7 and Kali Linux is installed in a VMWare Player. So we can assume that Kali Linux is installed in a remote machine, as Windows 7 and of Kali Linux is on different network now.
Before we access Kali Linux through remote system, we need to make sure that ssh service is already running in Kali Linux.
To check the status of ssh service. Open root terminal and type service --status-all
In case it shows [-], then it means ssh service is not running and you have to enable ssh service first. To do this type apt-get install openssh-server from terminal window. Once, it shows [+] sign it means service is enable. Now, we type service ssh start to run ssh service.
Once we are sure that ssh service is running in remote Kali Linux, we have to perform one more step. Run ssh-keygen -t rsa to setup rsa key for ssh authentication and enter filename and passphrase to save the key. Once this is done we are good to go.
Now open PuTTy application and type the ip address of Kali Linux (if you are not sure then type ifconfig command on Kali Linux root terminal window). Let the port no. be default, select ssh and click on open. If everything is fine then it will ask you to enter login name and password. Once you enter the correct login and password, you will get privilege to access Kali Linux from console mode.

How to enable multiple remote desktop user logins in Windows 7
How to enable multiple remote desktop user logins in Windows 7
Windows remote desktop connection application can be used in order to connect to another PC on the same network or the internet. Both computers should use Windows and have the “Remote desktop connection” application available. For example, you can use all of your work computer’s programs, files, and network resources from your home computer, and it’s just like you’re sitting in front of your computer at work. You can also use it to access an application that is only installed on a single computer, by multiple users at the same time.
Windows 7 do not allow the concurrent use of a single computer by multiple users. This means that a user needs to be signed out before a second user logs in. This is not the case for the server editions of Windows. Luckily there is a patch that allows you to override this setting and connect multiple users at the same time on a single computer. The will even be able to use the same applications at the same time.
CAUTION: The following steps are probably going against the windows EULA agreement and could cause harm to your computer. I have already tested both of the patched below on windows 7 professional edition installations and could not find any issues.
Patch 1 (Does not work on Win 7 SP1)
The first patch just enables multi-user support for the Windows remote desktop connection tool:
- You need to download the following zip file: Win7RDP.zip.
- Unzip the contents in a folder (let’s say you have used the following path: “C:Win7RDP”).
- Execute the file install.cmd by double clicking on it.
- You should see a screen similar to the one below, if everything works fine.
- After the end of the patching process the remote desktop connection of your pc provides multi-user support.
Patch 2
The following patch application lets you choose whether or not to enable multiuser support for the remote desktop connection process or/and to disable the no blank password policy that is enforced on users that need to connect remotely. Follow the steps below to access the application.
- Download the file Concurrent_RDP_Patcher_2-22-2011.zip
- Open the compressed file and execute the file “Concurrent RDP Patcher.exe”
- You should see the following screen
- Check the desired options and then click the patch button.

How To Stop Remotely Shutting Down Computers
Windows 7 Shutdown Command - The Basics
Sooner or later everyone makes the mistake of accidentally shutting down the local machine instead of the target computer that they really wished to reboot. To recover from this mistake pay close attention to the syntax of the abort command Shutdown /a.
As can be seen in the example above, youll have different options to choose from in the Remote Shutdown Dialog. First specify the name or IP address of the computer you want to shutdown by clicking the Add button. Next, select Shutdown and keep the Warn users of the action checked if you want to warn the user of the shutdown before it occurs. Next, in the Shutdown Event Tracker, choose the Option you want the Event Log to show and enter a comment.
If you are running a training session and the delegate from hell keeps shutting down other students machines by abusing shutdown -s or -r, then configure a policy to prevent Force Shutdown From A Remote Machine.
Launch GPMC or SECPOL.MSC
Navigate to Local Policies, User Rights Assignment.
Experiment by assigning just your account, rather than all administrators.

How can I remotely shutdown another Windows computer?
To start the GUI version of this command click Start, Run, and in the Run line type: shutdown -i and press enter. After running this command you should see a dialog window shown in the example below.
The shutdown executable is available at the command line in Windows 7, Vista, XP and also the Windows Server family. Once you launch the DOS box by typing cmd, your first decision is do you want to shutdown (/s), or reboot (/r) the computer?
