How to Fix Chromium Won't Open on Kali Linux

Chromium is not running and how to fix it? Was originally a project of the open source web browser called Chromium was established to create the browser open source. Google then took sourcecode Chromium, the project to create a new browser by adding some additional features, such as additional names, which became Google Chrome. In short, Google Chrome is Chromium is packaged and distributed by Google to add some features. Chromium project itself is still ongoing and they are also used Google to update Google Chrome.

About Chromium and How to Fix on Kali Linux
Chrome from Chromium

The main reason I use Chromium is for testing DOM XSS by that as far as I know can not be disabled in Firefox. If you have not heard from the Chromium open source version of Google Chrome and do not have a built-in flash player and various other codecs such as AAC, H.264, and MP3 support.

It is possible to disable all the security features in Chromium or Chrome using the switch --disable-web-security, this will disable all security options and allows you to test the DOM based XSS.



By default, chromium already exists in Repository Kali Linux, and can be installed via the terminal, or the Ubuntu Software Center in Ubuntu and its offspring, open a terminal:

apt-get install chromium

Chromium can not be Launched in Kali Linux

By default Chromium can not be launched in time Linux, this is due to Chromium run as the root user. You can fix this by opening /etc/chromium.d/default-flags in Leafpad or nano, and add the following line:

leafpad /etc/chromium.d/default-flags

Then add the following code:

# Run as root Kali
export CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --password-store=detect --no-sandbox --user-data-dir"

Disabling user-data-dir and sandboxing, disabling sandboxing would have some obvious security issues but this browser is for web application penetration testing course.

Setup for Web Pentest


To use chromium for Web Application Penetration Testing You need to disable all the security features, which allows for DOM-based XSS testing in chromium.

# Disable Chromium security features for web app testing
export CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --disable-web-security"

Complete Config on Chromium

 The entire output will look like this:

# A set of command line flags that we want to set by default.

# Do not hide any extensions in the about:extensions dialog
export CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --show-component-extension-options"

# Don't use the GPU blacklist (bug #802933)
export CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --ignore-gpu-blacklist"

# Run as root Kali
export CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --password-store=detect --no-sandbox --user-data-dir"

# Disable Chromium security features for web app testing
export CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --disable-web-security"

Some errors may be out as shown below, Ignore the following error. Chromium still process DOM based XSS. The same error occurs in Google Chrome.
