Kali Linux on Raspberry Pi - #1 Install and Setup

Beginner in hacking? Then you must know Kali Linux, a very powerful and beginner-friendly OS. So, today we are going to install it on our Raspberry Pi and make it ready for hacking. Let's get started!

STEP 1

Get a MicroSD card of at least 16 GB. Plug it in to your PC with an MicroSD adapter.

STEP 2

Open ThisPC.

STEP 3

Right-click on the SD card and select Format in drop-down menu and click Start.

STEP 4

After format is complete, then click on this link to open offensive security website. In that website, select RaspberryPi Foundation and select the model of your Raspberry Pi. Then the Kali Linux image file starts to download as XZ file.

STEP 5

After download is complete, open 7-zip and extract the XZ file.

STEP 6

Open Win32-DiskImager and write the img file to the SD card.

STEP 7

When the writing of img file onto sd card is done, then plug the SD card in the Raspberry Pi and power the board.

STEP 8

It prompts you for username and password, which are:

Username:- root
Password:- toor 

Now a desktop environment of kali linux should open.

STEP 9

Now to connect to your wifi network on the raspberry pi.

(Werecommend to use ethernet for installation purposes.)

STEP 10

Open terminal and type:

passwd 

Now type a new password to login and click Enter.

STEP 11

Next, we need to update the kali-linux:

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade 

STEP 12

Install Gparted:

apt-get install gparted

And open it by typing:

gparted 

STEP 13

We need to extend the partition by dragging the partition bar towards right in the Gparted and apply and save all changes.

STEP 14

Now type this command in terminal:

apt-get install kali-linux-full

This will take 5-6 hours based on your internet connection speed.

And We're Done!

After this very long installation is completed, Kali Linux is installed and we have all the tools ready for hacking.

Thank You!

I'll show hacking techniques in my next project.
