How to install Kali
linux In a USB drive (Hack as you go )
Today you will be learning how to install kali linux in a
usb drive so you can just plug into any machine for example library , school
computers or any laptops .Alter the bios settings and reboot it . You will be
having kali linux without disturbing the current operating system or Leaving
too much trails . Most of the Black hats as well as penetration testers (Black
box testers) like us use USB drives because it makes us getting away without
any suspicion. However each usb drive has a specific UID which is embedded in
each device . While you plug it in , Windows operating system will make a note
of date , month , year and time . I will teach you how to delete them later in
a different tutorial these are certain things you need to be aware off .
Requirements :
4 GB pendrive or a memory card
ISO image of kali linux downloaded from https://www.kali.org/downloads/
HashMyFiles v2.15 download from http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/hash_my_files.html
Win32 Disk image for windows .
DD default command in linux and OSX
For windows Users
Step 1
Please check the hash values matching
or not using the HashMyFiles v2.15
We do this to check whether content you
downloaded is not altered by any means .
Step 2
Plug your USB thumb drive.
Step 3
Downlaod win32 disk imager , it’s a
portable executable so you will have screen like the below image .
Step 4
Browse and point to the location where
the kali linux iso is downloaded , Under the device to your top right corner
select the USB you need ISO to be imaged. Make sure the usb device is already
been formatted and there no valuable contents over there . Clikc on write.
Step 5
Be patient and wait for the winimager
to say “ WRITE SUCESSFUL “ .
Safely eject the pendrive using the
safely remove hardware icon to your right bottom of the reason .Do not unplug
the pendrive because you risk corrupting the pendrive and losing data.
Step 6
Reboot and Check your laptop or pc
manual and find the Bios key , change the primary boot to USB drive
Step 7
After making the changes , save the
settings and reboot the computer . You will have kali linux up and running .
Let the Hack begin
For Linux users
We will be using dd command to create a bootable kali linux
usb drive . DD is a command line utility found in unix and linux environment.
The DD command is use to convert and copy the files .
You need to be logged in a super user or SUDO command to use
this utility.
Step 1 :
Make sure your USB thumb drive is not plugged in
And type this command in the terminal
sudo
fdisk –l
It displays all the partitons and storage devices connected to
your computer. Make a note of all the partitions and storage devices . This is
to make sure you don’t alter or delete any of your necessary volumes.
Step 2 :
Plug in your USB drive and run the same
command
Sudo
fdisk –l
It displays a the pendrive which you plugged in few minutes
back . make a note of the disk identifier it looks like 0x73876a9c
And the “/dev/sdb” (Which is your
pendrive)
Step 3 :
Type this command in the terminal
dd if=kali-linux-1.1.0a-i386.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=512k
kali-linux-1.1.0a-i386.iso
this is the image name of the kali linux I have downloaded and
bs=512k is the block size parameter which I have given . Default block
size parameter is 512 and I don’t suggest you increasing the values since it
might make your usb unusable.
Step 4 :
Wait patiently for it to finsh writing
, it took me 17 minutes to finish it
This will be the output
5823+1 records in
5823+1 records out
3053371392 bytes (3.1 GB) copied, 746.211 s, 4.1 MB/s
5823+1 records out
3053371392 bytes (3.1 GB) copied, 746.211 s, 4.1 MB/s
Step 7 :
Hurray ! you did it . Now lets reboot
and change the bios settings
Reboot and Check your laptop or pc
manual and find the Bios key , change the primary boot to USB drive
Step 8 :
After making the changes , save the settings
and reboot the computer . You will have kali linux up and running .
Let the Hack begin
For MAC Users
We will br making use of diskutil and dd command in Mac os X
. Im using Yosemite . It still works with other versions as well .make sure you
are logged in as Administrator or you need the sudo password.
Step 1 :
Don’t plug in your USB drive and press command and Space ,
type terminal open it . Type in this command
Diskutil list
You will be having a out put like this
Lawways-MacBook-Pro:~
lawway$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0:
GUID_partition_scheme *121.3 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2:
Apple_CoreStorage
120.5 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE
IDENTIFIER
0: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD *120.1 GB disk1
Logical Volume
on disk0s2
E6EB5770-BFEA-432C-BBC1-AFF6D4AF63AF
Unlocked Encrypted
Make a note of all these somewhere in text edit .
Step 2 :
Plug in your USB drive and type in the same command
Diskutil
list
You will be getting a
output like this
Lawways-MacBook-Pro:~
lawway$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0:
GUID_partition_scheme *121.3 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2:
Apple_CoreStorage
120.5 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD *120.1 GB disk1
Logical Volume
on disk0s2
E6EB5770-BFEA-432C-BBC1-AFF6D4AF63AF
Unlocked
Encrypted
/dev/disk2
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0:
FDisk_partition_scheme *1.0 TB disk2
1: Windows_NTFS My Passport 790.5 GB
Here I can see external hard drive names as /dev/disk2.
Im going to use this for usb booting.
Step 3:
Type this command
Step 4 :
It will take time like 20 – 30 minutes . It will not show any
output until its completed Please be patient for it to complete.
You will get a output like this
2911+1 records in
2911+1 records out
3053371392 bytes transferred in 2151.132182 secs (1419425 bytes/sec)
2911+1 records out
3053371392 bytes transferred in 2151.132182 secs (1419425 bytes/sec)
Hurray !
Its time to reboot and press the function key till it gets you to
the boot screen , where you can select the drive to boot and press live boot in
kali linux.
Let the hack begin !
