## 🎮 Usage Guide
Once installed, you can use the following commands inside Termux:
### 🟢 Basic Commands

| :--- | :--- |
| `kali` | Login to Kali Linux as a standard user (Recommended). |
| `kali -r` | Login to Kali Linux as **Root**. |
### 🔐 Default Credentials
If asked for a password inside the system (e.g., for sudo or root access):
* **User:** `root`
* **Password:** `kali`
### 🖥️ Desktop (VNC) Commands
We have included a custom tool called `kex` to manage your Graphical User Interface (GUI).
1. **Login to Kali** first (`kali`).
2. Run the following commands inside Kali:
| Command | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| `kex passwd` | **Run this first.** Set up your VNC password (6-8 characters). |
| `kex &` | Start the VNC Server. |
| `kex kill` | Stop/Kill all running VNC sessions (useful if it crashes). |
---
## 📡 How to Connect to GUI (Desktop)
1. Start the server inside Kali: `kex &`
2. Open the **VNC Viewer** app on your phone.
3. Create a new connection with these details:
* **Address:** `127.0.0.1:5901` (or `localhost:5901`)
* **Name:** Kali Linux
4. Click **Connect**.
5. Enter the password you set using `kex passwd`.

## 🛠️ Troubleshooting
* **Audio not working?**
* The script automatically sets up PulseAudio. If it stops, simply restart Termux. The script ensures the audio server starts every time Termux opens.
* **Download failed?**
* Run the script again. It will ask if you want to resume or re-download.
* **"Signal 9" Error?**
* This usually means the Android system killed Termux to save battery. Check your phone settings and allow Termux to run in the background (disable battery optimization for Termux).
