Create low privilege users in Kali

Low-level users (non-root users) are important for the following reasons:

Security: Using a low-level user minimizes the risk of accidental system damage or security breaches, since this user has limited permissions compared to root.
Preventing Malware/Attacks: Many malicious programs require elevated privileges to harm the system. By using a low-level user, you reduce the risk of malware gaining control.
System Stability: Low-level users can’t accidentally modify critical system files, helping maintain system integrity.
Best Practice: In Linux, it’s best practice to perform regular tasks under a low-level user and only use root privileges when absolutely necessary.

This helps keep the system more secure and stable overall.

To create a low-level user in Kali Linux, follow these simple steps:

Open Terminal.
Run the command to create a new user:

sudo useradd -m username
Set a password for the new user:

sudo passwd username
(Optional) Add the user to the sudo group for admin privileges:

sudo usermod -aG sudo username
