Kali-style Alpine Linux on iPhone/iPad — a pre-built rootfs with VNC, zero install steps.

✨ Why this project?

Inside the iSH app, apk install is painfully slow (everything runs through emulation). This project solves that by pre-building everything — you just extract the tar.gz and everything is already installed. The VNC server is also pre-installed, so one command gives you a full desktop on your iPad.

🚀 Setup in 5 minutes

Step	Action
1️⃣	Open iSH → Settings → Filesystems
2️⃣	Delete any existing rootfs
3️⃣	Import → select kali-vnc-prebuilt-ish.tar.gz
4️⃣	Mount point = /
5️⃣	In the terminal, run: startvnc xvfb
6️⃣	In the bVNC app: Host = 127.0.0.1, Port = 5900 (in separate fields)

💡 Remember: keep the iSH app in the foreground (VNC sleeps when iSH is backgrounded). To stop: startvnc stop ⚠️ Keep ~4 GB of free space on your device (extracted size ≈ 2.6 GB)

🔧 Startup modes

Mode	Command	What it does
Raw framebuffer	startvnc	x11vnc in rawfb mode — the fastest, no X server needed
Full X server	startvnc xvfb	Xvfb + xterm + x11vnc — a full desktop experience
Stop	startvnc stop	Kills all VNC processes

⚠️ Known limitations

• iSH is an x86 user-mode emulator — no GPU, no JIT, so some things run slowly
• java / metasploit / Burp Suite / Debian-based distros are impossible on iSH
• No kernel access — and john, hydra, ffuf, gobuster are not in the Alpine 3.14 repos
• Set a VNC password on public networks: startvnc xvfb --pass YOURPASS
