As a byproduct of enabling HTTPS on cdimage.kali.org, we now also support apt HTTPS transports. This means that our actual Kali package repositories can support HTTPS – resulting in encrypted Kali updates and upgrades. Surprisingly, this does not add much security to the update / upgrade process (read here if you’re wondering why) – however it *does* add an extra layer of security, so we figured, “why not?”. To enable the apt HTTPS transport, first make sure the apt-transport-https package is installed (it’s installed by default in our weekly images and upcoming releases) and enable the HTTPS transport in your sources.list file as shown below:

root@kali:~# apt install apt-transport-https
root@kali:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb https://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
# deb-src https://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
root@kali:~#

Now any update or upgrade operation preformed against our mirrors will be HTTPS enabled:

root@kali:~# apt update
Hit:1 https://archive-3.kali.org/kali kali-rolling InRelease
Reading package lists... Done
root@kali:~#

As not all donated mirrors come with HTTPS support, shifting to the HTTPS transport may result in a less optimized mirror being selected for you, resulting in slower download speeds. As moving to an apt HTTPS transport does not provide much extra security, do so only if you feel you must!
