Kali Linux Mirror

Repository URL

Drop one of the URLs below into your client configuration. HTTPS is the right choice in almost every case.

Quick verification

Run this from any machine that can reach the mirror. It should complete in under a second once metadata is cached.

Copy# Quick smoke test
curl -fsSL https://mirror.kargadan.ir/repository/kali-proxy/dists/kali-rolling/Release | head -10

Default client configuration

Drop this file at /etc/apt/sources.list on the target host for the recommended default release (kali-rolling). See configuration by release for every supported suite.

Copy# /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kali.list  (Kali Linux rolling)
# Replace the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list with this single line.

deb [trusted=yes] https://mirror.kargadan.ir/repository/kali-proxy kali-rolling main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

# The kali-archive-keyring package keeps providing GPG verification because
# Nexus proxies the upstream Release.gpg unchanged.
