HOWTO : CUDA on Kali Linux 1.0.5

Step 1 :



Download the CUDA driver from nVidia Official Site.



# 64-bit

wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/5_5/rel/installers/cuda_5.5.22_linux_64.run



# 32-bit

wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/5_5/rel/installers/cuda_5.5.22_linux_32.run



Step 2 :



Install the CUDA driver. Accept the default values and select to install nVidia display driver also.



# 64-bit

chmod +x cuda_5.5.22_linux_64.run

./cuda_5.5.22_linux_64.run



# 32-bit

chmod +x cuda_5.5.22_linux_32.run

./cuda_5.5.22_linux_32.run



Step 3 :



Create a .bash_profile.



nano /root/.bash_profile



# 64-bit

export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-5.5/bin:$PATH

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-5.5/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH



# 32-bit

export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-5.5/bin:$PATH

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-5.5/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH



Step 4 :



Update the boot loader to disable the open source nvidia display driver.



sed 's/quiet/quiet nouveau.modeset=0/g' -i /etc/default/grub

update-grub

reboot



Step 5 (Optional) :



To test the CUDA with multiforcer.



# multiforcer for nvidia (example)

cd /usr/share/multiforcer/

multiforcer -h NTLM -c charsets/charsetall -f test_hashes/Hashes-NTLM-Full.txt --noopencl



Step 6 (Optional) :



John the Ripper for CUDA.



# 64-bit

wget http://www.openwall.com/john/g/john-1.7.9-jumbo-7.tar.gz

tar -xvzf john-1.7.9-jumbo-7.tar.gz

cd john-1.7.9-jumbo-7/src

make

make clean linux-x86-64-gpu



cd ../run

./john --help



That's all! See you.
