Software required
Xplico comes with many versions of Linux. Xplico usually requires some updates to run, depending on the versions of Kali used. For this chapter I recommend using Kali Linux 2016.1 or 2016.2. I also recommend using Kali in a virtual environment when using Xplico as incorrectly updating Kali could break it. Users may also wish to use the snapshot feature before updating Kali Linux which saves the current working state of the machine that can be easily rolled back to, in the event that the distribution breaks.
Note
Kali Linux 2016.1 can be downloaded from https://cdimage.kali.org/kali-2016.1/. Kali Linux 2016.2 can be downloaded from https://cdimage.kali.org/kali-2016.2/.
Should you run into difficulties updating Kali or running Xplico (which happens sometimes) consider downloading and running DEFT Linux 8.2 in a virtual environment. Beginners may find that Xplico may be easier to work with in DEFT Linux as there are GUI menu items to start the Apache and Xplico services options...
