This documentexplains how to make use of NVIDIA video hardware and install the drivers on aKali Linux system. The first step is to fully update your Kali Linux system andmake sure your have the kernel headers installed.
apt-get update |
The next stop isto disable the nouveau driver. Nouveau is a open source NVIDIA driver project,however it lack the 3D graphics acceleration needed to run Cuda pentest tools.
sed 's/quiet/quiet nouveau.modeset=0/g' -i /etc/default/grub |
Once the systemboots back up, you may see a NVIDIA splash screen, which will indicate that thedrivers installed correctly, however this is not always the case. In order tocheck if the drivers are working properly, execute the following command.
root@kali:~# glxinfo | grep -i "direct rendering" |
Althoughutilizing the Cuda tools included in Kali is beyond the scope of this article,checking to make sure that they are working properly is always a good idea. Thefollowing command uses Oclhashcat-plus with some of the example files includedin the packages.
cd /usr/share/oclhashcat-plus/ |
