Hello,

i downloded kali vmware image here : http://www.offensive-security.com/ka...mage-download/

now i am booting kali through vmware. now i am in the kali login screen. strange, where do i get the login detail?

i have no clue where to get the login detail? because i did not do any installation. just booted the kali using image 'Kali Linux 1.0.6 32 bit.vmdk'. that it.

please help me to find the login.

Thank you.

did you read the kali documentation ?

the default user name and password are IN the install instructions !

i am a php developer / web server administrator etc by professiona.
secuirty is vital on these subjects. so i heard kali has bundled with tools that will help to test the security on various aspects related to our profession.

Thats why i am trying it

you will find that a vm install is not recommended
you can , but....

no cuda support nor openCL

and a lot of the tools use nvidia'a CUDA

install to the drive or to usb drive ( with persistence)
and a ENCRYPTED drive ( full drive encryption ) is recommended
