Hello there,

I was following the instructions listed here
(https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/pentesting/kali/#katoolin4_0) to create a
kali template vm and ran into the following error for Qubes 4.0

Assume a default configuration for the most part, as I have not done
much tweaking. I'm still a noob per my last post. Anyway I hope we can
help anyone else who runs into the same issue.

Error:

user@kali:~$ git clone https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin.git
Cloning into ‘katoolin’...
fatal: unable to access ‘https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin.git/’:
Could not resolve host: github.com

Attempted fixes prior to doing so are as follows:

1. Attempted to follow instructions listed here. No dice, same error


2.

applied the following commands (likely erroneously) based on this post


git config --global --unset http.proxy
git config --global --unset https.proxy

Please let me know if I accidentally broke something on a templatevm by
doing the above command.

I wanted to avoid breaking compartmentalization but could not figure out
a fix except for temporarily connecting the template vm to sys-firewall
long enough to download katoolin.

What would have been the appropriate way to resolve this error in
templateVMs? Let me know and thank you for your help

Git does not know about the update proxy. Have a look at
Redirecting… under "updates proxy"
for the configuration. Use the following command to configure git with
this proxy:

git config --global http.proxy http://<proxy address>:<port>

Alternatively, download and verify katoolin in any other trusted AppVM
and use `qvm-copy` to move it over.

I recently came across this blog which uses salt to setup a kali machine. I haven't tried this, but you might find it useful:

We do have already Kali template. Only issue with missing DNF in bullseye prevent to build a full kali build. See notably https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/6030#issuecomment-698667814 or other issues related to kali and bullseye.
