Could you please assist, I am failing to update the customised Kali Lunix by Z security. I started using it doing my course for introduction to ethical hacking from Z Security.

sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade

Hi!
The problem is running apt dist-upgrade or apt upgrade will break custom kali, so avoid running them. Apt update is ok to use. It also seems like you have changed the repositories content and I suggest to avoid that too. In any case import a fresh custom kali and you are ready to go.

Greetings!

Hi, I downloaded a new custom kali and attempted to update it, this is the error message I am receiving:

Hi!
It seems that kali doesn’t have proper internet access or maybe the antivirus in your host machine is blocking the communications. So check that first.
