Configuring Lime in Kali Linux with old headers.

After cloning Lime from Github, it is needed to run make utility to recompile Lime for your forensics analysis machine or VM. In this experiment, I used it on Kali Linux which had old headers.

“git clone https://github.com/504ensicsLabs/LiME.git

Cloning into ‘LiME’ …”” it continues a few more lines until it is done.

While running make utility, I got this error message:

“make -C /lib/modules/5.10.0-kali3-amd64/build M=”/home/kali/Github/LiME/src” modules

make[1]: *** /lib/modules/5.10.0-kali3-amd64/build: No such file or directory. Stop.

make: *** [Makefile:35: default] Error 2”

To solve this error, I used this command to install [or in some cases update] Linux headers.

sudo apt install linux-headers-5.10.0-kali3-amd64

Figure 1 displays successful execution of make utility command

Figure 2 displays kernel object recompiled specifically for 5.10.0-kali3-amd64 Kali VM
