HOWTO : CUDA on Kali Linux 1.0.6

Step 1 :

apt-get install libcudart4 linux-headers-$(uname -r) nvidia-cuda-toolkit

Step 2 :

mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

echo -e 'Section "Device"\n\tIdentifier "nVidia GPU"\n\tDriver "nvidia"\n\tOption "NoLogo" "1"\n\tOption "RenderAccel" "1"\n\tOption "TripleBuffr" "true"\n\tOption "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"\nEndSection' > /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf

OR

apt-get install nvidia-xconfig
nvidia-xconfig

Step 3 :

Update the boot loader to disable the open source nvidia display driver.

sed 's/quiet/quiet nouveau.modeset=0/g' -i /etc/default/grub
update-grub
reboot

Step 4 (Optional) :

To test the CUDA with multiforcer.

# multiforcer for nvidia (example)
cd /usr/share/multiforcer/
multiforcer -h NTLM -c charsets/charsetall -f test_hashes/Hashes-NTLM-Full.txt --noopencl --nocpu

Step 5 (Optional) :

John the Ripper for CUDA.

# 64-bit
wget http://www.openwall.com/john/g/john-1.7.9-jumbo-7.tar.gz
tar -xvzf john-1.7.9-jumbo-7.tar.gz
cd john-1.7.9-jumbo-7/src
make
make clean linux-x86-64-gpu

cd ../run
./john --help

That's all! See you.
