Here’s what the background image looks like. To make the flow more fun, we display the QR codes inside a Dropbox. On our servers, we generate a QR code with a unique token and display it on the website.
Trying to go to the connect website from the phone’s browser is one possible failure mode. Our goal in this flow is to get the user set up with Dropbox on their desktop, minimizing any risk of losing them along the way. It instructs the user to go to /connect on their computer (we added a picture of a computer too, just to make things extra clear). When this install finishes, Dropbox will run and a login screen will be launched in your browser, login and you should see the Dropbox icon in the top-right hand corner of your Kali desktop start to sync.The desktop connect flow begins on the phone. You will see a pop up dialog box from Dropbox asing you to download the priorietary daemon, click OK: Once this installation has finished, you need to install the Dropbox daemon and initialize it by running the following command NOT as root (nor using sudo): dropbox start -i Not adding Dropbox repository.” – you can ignore this. The installer will run and you’ll see a message saying “You are not running Debian or Ubuntu. Run the following command to execute the installer: sudo gdebi.
In a terminal window, browse to the folder where you downloaded the installer (most likely the Downloads folder) and make the downloaded file executable: sudo chmod +x dropbox_2020.03.04_b You shouldn’t need it if you are using the latest version of Kali but just in case, verify you have Python 3 installed: sudo apt install python3-gpg Installing Dropbox on Kali Make sure you have all the packges installed that Dropbox will required by running the following: sudo apt-get update Kali is based upon Debian so download the Debian install to your Kali box from the Dropbox website: In 2018, Dropbox dropped support for any filesystems on Linux other than EXT4 so if you are using anything other than this, you’re out of luck Download the Debian installer This means I can still transfer files easily but should my primary account be compromised, no files other than those in my Kali-only-Dropbox account are exposed (and these are just notes on my training). I have a couple of free Dropbox accounts that share a folder from the root with my main account. Remember even when using a reputable service like HackTheBox for ethical hacking, you are still VPNing in to a network of hackers-in-training. I highly recommend not using you primary Dropbox account on Kali. Ok so there’s a few things to know first: Get a second Dropbox Account I’ve always found installing Dropbox on Kali linux a bit hit-and-miss but the more recent distributions of Kali linux seem to handle it a bit better so I thought I’d write a quite guide now its become a more predictable process.
