Can't find local IP Address in ifconfig on Kali Linux, am I doing something wrong?
 
I've just installed Kali Linux, and I need to find the local IP, so I searched up how to, so I input ifconfig. I'm trying to look for the line (inet addr:xxx.xxx.xxx) but can't find it anywhere, there is inet and inet6, but nothing that looks like an ip.

and also has a line saying UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING MULTICAST

Please help, I'm pretty clueless but trying to get better, as far as I've seen this hasn't be solved anywhere else cause it hasn't been a problem cause it's just there.

Hi:

When you type in ifconfig your ip address should be on one of the lines in the output of wlan0.

If you still can't find it:
Go to a fresh Google page and type in "how to find out ip address"
Google will show you your ip address above the first hit.

I think somewhere in Kali docs it says Kali comes network disabled. Since Kali is for experienced Linux users they should have no problem setting up the network.

When you get a chance read the Kali Linux documentation it will enlighten you.

When I read the Kali Linux documentation I remembered that the network is disabled as Emerson has mentioned.
