Hackers and Pentester are often looking for vulnerabilities. To do these tests and vulnerability tests on a platform often adopt tools that allow you to copy the affected environment. They copy the website to the local computer and browse through the lines of the code to find possible vulnerabilities. For this copying technique, they use the httrack tool. In this tutorial I will describe how to use the httrack website copier on my Kali Linux virtual machine.

How to download Httrack on Kali Linux? I think you are aware that the Advance package tool (APT) is used to install, remove, reinstall packages on Debian-based operating systems such as Kali Linux and Ubuntu. So here I am using apt-get to install httrack. Before starting the installation, we should update apt in Kali Linux for the new headers. Run the following command:

$sudo apt-get update
$sudo apt-get install httrack
