HOWTO : Flash Player on Kali Linux 2018.4

Kali Linux 2018.4 does not come with latest version of Flash Player. Since Flash Player may be vulnerable, we need to keep it to be updated. However, most tutorials in the internet teach you copy the Flash Player object file (libflashplayer.so) to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ only. It is very hard to keep track the latest update this way. The following method may be the best way to install Flash Player on Kali Linux 2018.4. It works for Firefox and Chrome as well as Chromium.

Step 1 :

apt update
apt install browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash pepperflashplugin-nonfree

Step 2 :

Go to https://github.com/cybernova/fireflashupdate to download fireflashupdate.sh

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cybernova/fireflashupdate/master/fireflashupdate.sh

chmod +x fireflashupdate.sh
./fireflashupdate.sh

Step 3 :

To update Flash Player :

./fireflashupdate.sh

Step 4 :

You may need to change the settings at Preferences menu of Firefox Add-ons - Plugins - Shockwave Flash from "Ask to Activate" to "Always Activate".

That's all! See you.
