It provides a secure channel over an insecure network in a client-server architecture, it enables users to log into another computer over a network, remotely control a system, and move files from one machine to another.

SSH is a vital tool for secure remote management of systems. Let’s get started with the installation guide.
Installing SSH on Kali Linux
Step 1: Update System Repositories
As a best practice, start by updating your system repositories to ensure you have access to the latest packages.
- Open your terminal.
- Type and execute:
sudo apt-get update
Step 2: Install SSH
Kali Linux often includes SSH, but if not, it’s simple to install.
- In the terminal, run:
sudo apt-get install openssh-server - Enter your password when prompted.
- Once the installation is complete, start the SSH service with:
sudo service ssh start
Step 3: Enabling SSH on Boot
To ensure SSH starts with your system, enable it to run at boot.
- Type:
sudo systemctl enable ssh
Step 4: Confirming SSH Status
Check that SSH is running correctly with:
sudo service ssh status
Installing SSH on Ubuntu (22.04)
Step 1: Update System Repositories
Like with Kali Linux, begin by updating your package repository in Ubuntu.
- Open a terminal.
- Enter:
sudo apt update
Step 2: Install SSH
SSH is not typically pre-installed on Ubuntu, so you’ll need to install it.
- Run:
sudo apt install openssh-server - Enter your password if prompted.
- Start the SSH service:
sudo service ssh start
Step 3: Enabling SSH on Boot
Enable SSH to automatically start with your system.
- Use:
sudo systemctl enable ssh
Step 4: Verifying SSH Service
Ensure SSH is running with:
sudo service ssh status
That is it, you are all done. Enjoy your SSH access.
