## What it is
A shell script that applies a collection of fixes and configuration tweaks to freshly imported Kali Linux virtual machines. It offers an interactive menu (or --auto mode) to repair common issues like signing keys, tool installations, and VM-specific problems.

## Use cases
- fix a newly imported Kali Linux VM
- repair Kali Linux apt signing key errors
- set up a Kali Linux pentesting lab in VirtualBox or VMware
- fix broken tools like Ghidra or Impacket on Kali
- automate post-install configuration of Kali Linux

## When to choose
- you just imported a Kali Linux VM and things are broken
- you want a one-command fix for common Kali VM issues
- you need to repair GPG signing keys or outdated tool installs

## When to avoid
- you run Kali on bare metal (unsupported)
- you use WSL or WSL2 (unsupported)
- you want a maintained package with a license guarantee
