Install NVIDIA Drivers and CUDA Toolkit on Kali Linux Purple - GPU installation in Kali Linux
This video explains how to install NVIDIA GPU drivers and CUDA support, allowing integration with popular penetration testing tools. We will not be using nouveau, being the open-source driver for NVIDIA, instead we will installing the close-source from NVIDIA.
This will cover a dedicated card (desktops users) and optimus (laptops and notebook users).
We recommend that you do not attempt this in a Virtual Machine. It is possible, however its not straight forward, and should only be done if you have a deep understanding of Linux. It is not covered in this guide, as there are too many items to cover for everyone’s environment and setup.
