 Kali Linux is a Debian-based distribution the comes with a handful of helpful security tools used for Penetration Testing, Forensics and/or Reverse Engineering.

+The machine's allocated resources are pretty conservative. If your physical host can handle it, you can give it more memory or CPU cores.

+==== Networking & SSH ====
-If your physical machine is low on resources (or you simply don't want to live inside the Kali VM, e.g. login in its browser), one thing that might help is running the VM  in the background with no graphical interface and simply connect to it via SSH from a host terminal.
-The ssh deamon is already active inside the VM and a port forwarding rule has been implemented on port 2222:
+Currently the VM's networking is achieved through a host NAT. A TCP port forwarding rule connects the host's port 2222 to the VM's port 22 and the SSH daemon is configured to start automatically, so you can login to the machine using:
 <code>
 $ ssh -p 2222 root@localhost
 </code>
+However, you might get better network speeds if you change the networking method to bridge, so that the VM will communicate directly with the same gateway as the host. In VirtualBox, go to the machine settings:
+{{ :session:infrastructure:bridged_adapter.png?600 |}}
+This means the VM and the host will live in the same LAN, so you need to figure out its local IP; for example:
+{{ :session:infrastructure:ip.png?600 |}}
+Then connect to it using:
+<code>
+$ ssh root@192.168.0.115
