You should choose the bridged option, but below is the info on each:

VMware offers 3 options for virtual network connections: bridged, NAT, and host only. There might be chances that you need to change the network adapter settings. Once it boots, type Username: root and Passwords: toor Once it get opened it will show prompt like below: Go to the extracted folder and open file having type as Vmware virtual machine configuration(Kali-Linux-2019.1-vm-amd64). Unzip above file using 7z software, you can download 7z from here, if you don't have it already: Only difference between these 2 kali version is that the OSCP kali linux contains some extra preinstalled tools which might be needed during OSCP. Or if you applied for OSCP, you will get a download link of kali from OSCP in a mail. Once Vmware got installed, download zip file of kali linux from this link.

I personally like working with Vmware, so download and install Vmware from this link. So, before installing Kali OS, you need to install hypervisor software, there are 2 well supported hypervisor available in market, VMWare and VirtualBox. It is always better to install Kali as a guest OS/virtual OS, on top of existing OS like windows, reason is, since kali OS is going to be the source of all attacks what youĪre going to do against other target(other PCs/Websites), even if your own system got hacked by unethical people it will only effect the vmware OS only, not the original OS on top of which you are running your kali. There are many linux flavour available in market, like Ubuntu, RedHat, OpenSuse but Kali is one of the best for people in infosec as itĬontains all the tools preinstalled which are required by any pentester. For running tools required for pentesting, you need to setup your own linux.

Install kali linux on vmware
