Not Seeing the Router's IP Address in Kali Linux VM Machine
If you are trying to scan a network and having trouble finding the router's IP address in your Kali Linux VM machine, you are not alone. Many users have faced this issue, and it can be frustrating. However, with a few simple steps, you can easily find the router's IP address and continue with your network scanning.
Understanding the Issue
The issue arises because the Kali Linux VM machine does not automatically find the router's IP address. This is because the VM machine is not directly connected to the network, but rather through a virtual network adapter. Therefore, the VM machine cannot automatically detect the router's IP address as a physical machine would.

Open the terminal in your Kali Linux VM machine.
Type the command
"ip route show"and press enter.Look for the line that starts with
"default via". The IP address listed after this is the IP address of your router.
Alternative Method
If the above method does not work, you can try the following alternative method:
Open the terminal in your Kali Linux VM machine.
Type the command
"netstat -nr"and press enter.Look for the line that starts with
"0.0.0.0". The IP address listed after this is the IP address of your router.
Using the Router's IP Address
Once you have found the router's IP address, you can use it to perform various tasks, such as configuring the router's settings or performing a network scan. To perform a network scan, you can use tools such as Nmap or IP Scanner.
Finding the router's IP address in your Kali Linux VM machine is a simple process that can be done using the terminal. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily scan your network and perform various tasks related to your router's IP address.
