Virtual Box is a hypervisor. That is, it is an environment that can allow other Operating Systems to run inside.


Some Mac Users who are running BOTH MacOS AND Linux are using a hypervisor to run ABOVE both, which allows free and easy switching between the two environments.

Setup is NON Trivial. You may need to be a devloper, or think like one, to get such a setup to work properly.


Your initial question implies you want to run VirtualBox INSIDE Kali Linux. Such a setup is possible, but may not be very useful.
