Step 1: Run as root user
┌──(kali㉿kali)-[~]
└─# sudo su
┌──(root㉿kali)-[~]
└─#
Step 2: Check your current IP configuration
┌──(root㉿kali)-[~]
└─# ifconfig
eth0 inet6 fe80::250:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx ... ... ...
Step 3: Change eth0’s IP address
┌──(root㉿kali)-[~]
└─# ifconfig eth0 10.10.10.2
┌──(root㉿kali)-[~]
└─# ifconfig
eth0 inet 10.10.10.2 netmask 255.0.0.0 broadcast 10.255.255.255
OR
┌──(root㉿kali)-[~]
└─# ifconfig eth0 10.10.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
┌──(root㉿kali)-[~]
└─# ifconfig
eth0 inet 10.10.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.255.255.255
Step 4: if you need to assign a default gateway
┌──(root㉿kali)-[~]
└─# route add default gw 10.123.123.1
┌──(root㉿kali)-[~]
└─# ifconfig
eth0 inet 10.10.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.255.255.255
┌──(root㉿kali)-[~]
└─# route
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags ... IFace
default 10.123.123.1 ... ... ... eth0
Step 5: if you need to add a DNS server
┌──(root㉿kali)-[~]
└─# nano /etc/resolv.conf
┌──(root㉿kali)-[~]
└─# cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
search localdomain
nameserver 8.8.8.8
Step 6: Test Ping with your target IP address
┌──(root㉿kali)-[~]
└─# ping 10.10.10.3
