With the rapid pace of development in Kali-Rolling, I decided to put together this post on how I successfully installed Java 1.8 in Kali-Rolling 2017.1. I am also leery of adding third party repositories. It’s possible these guides might have worked, but I am hesitant, based on my past experience, to use older guides on newer versions. Relied on third-party repositories that I am not thoroughly familiar with (and, even their documents seemed to be out of date).Were months old, and mostly referencing Kali 2016 and/or Java 1.7.I built a fresh VM on Kali-Rolling 2017.1 and discovered that guides on installing the official Oracle JRE within Kali were lacking. Personally I find even the official Oracle JRE buggy enough (especially on Linux), so if using the closed-source version helps reduce such problems, I’m willing. Mudge, OpenJDK causes various bugs and issues with Cobalt Strike. Since I use Cobalt Strike during my pentests, I like to adhere to the developer’s advice and use Oracle’s Java instead of the OpenJDK package. Sudo update-java-alternatives -s oracle-java8-jre-amd64
