Research direction

Start in modules/kali-server/resources.tf at the aws_instance.kali_machine resource on line 18, and compare its EBS volume size with the referenced Kali snapshot requirement. Run the Kali provisioning flow to confirm the volume is at least 25 GB and that the EC2 instance is created successfully.

Description

Hello,

First of all great project thank you for the work!

I have tried to provision Kali Linux and I have got this error:

╷
│ Error: creating EC2 Instance: operation error EC2: RunInstances, https response error StatusCode: 400, RequestID: 485bc0d4-1207-4f6b-bc19-7df85166ac6b, api error InvalidBlockDeviceMapping: Volume of size 20GB is smaller than snapshot 'snap-0626a34da08068d7a', expect size>= 25GB

Base snapshot is larger than EBS size in TF this probably needs to be increased to work.
