Tor is free software and an open network. Tor protects you by

bouncing your communications around a distributed network of
relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents
somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what
sites you visit, and it prevents the sites you visit from learning
your physical location. You can read more at TorProject

Step 1: Install From apt-get

The rst step is to install the Tor services from the Kali
repositories by using apt-get.

Download the architecture-appropriate le above, save it

somewhere, then run the tar command to extract the package
from the download directory:

tar -xvf tor*

This command assumes this is the only le in the directory that

starts with “tor”.

Step 3: Run The Tor Browser

To run the Tor Browser Bundle, execute the start-tor-browser

script from the directory you just extracted:

Home Forums About Us IT Consulting Affiliations Contact Us Log In 

./start-tor-browser

This will launch Vidalia and once that connects to Tor, it will
launch Firefox.

Optional: If You Run As Root

If you’re running Kali Linux as root, you’ll get an error saying you
can’t run Tor as root.

Option 1:
You can run the following commands to comment out this check
and run Tor as root:
– Type

nano start-tor-browser

– Comment these lines

#if

[ “`id -u`” -eq 0 ]; then

# complain “The Tor Browser Bundle

should not be run as root. Exiting.”

# exit 1

#fi

Save the le.

Option 2:
You can create a new user and con gure Tor to run as that user
even though you’re logged in as root.

useradd toruser

chown -R toruser tor-browser_en-US #

Replace with your TBB folder

gksu -u toruser tor-browser_en-

US/Browser/start-tor-browser
