Hey what is up you guys!? Today I'll be teaching you how to to create a new user in kali linux. I don't I need to tell you why you need to create a new user except for root. It is mainly to run applications that won't run in the root account.
So let's get started.


  1. Open up terminal and type:- useradd -m yourusername and press enter.    [In username type your username for the guest account]
  2.  Now to add a password type:- passwd yourusername and press enter.
  3. Now to add the sudo privilege to the account type :- usermod -a -G sudo yourusername and press enter. Here -a will add and -G will give the group this account to add to their directories. 
  4. Now to change the default shell to bash type :- chsh -s /bin/bash yourusername and press enter.
And that's it. You've successfully created a new user in kali linux.
Thank you guys for visiting my blog and I'll see you in the next one.
