Here is how to create a Live Kali Linux USB flash drive. Kali Linux Live USB Persistence On Mac - Duration: 15:23. Pentestmac 120,745 views. Jan 02, 2019. This tutorial will show you how to install Kali Linux on a USB drive, add persistence so that you can save files on the drive and then run Kali from the USB drive. By the end of this session you will be able to create: a USB drive running Kali Live Linux, a partition for persistence on the USB drive, a file system on the new partition, and persistent files on the USB drive.

The tutorials in the series include:

• Installing Kali Linux as a VM
• Creating a Kali Linux Live USB drive
• Configuring Kali Linux
• Package Management with Kali Linux
• Setting up a Kali Linux test lab
• Using the Kali Linux tools

Objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to create: a USB drive running Kali Live Linux; a partition for persistence on the USB drive; a file system on the new partition; and persistent files on the USB drive.

Downloading Kali Linux

How to download Kali Linux is explained in the tutorial ‘Installing Kali Linux as a VM’, the first in this series. The images can be found here: https://www.kali.org/downloads/.

I will be using the latest (as of March 2020) Kali Linux 64-bit (Live) version,kali-linux-2020.1-live-amd64.iso. I have downloaded it here:

Verifying the Download

How to verify the Kali Linux ISO is also explained in the tutorial ‘Installing Kali Linux as a VM’. https://truequp173.weebly.com/airmail-3-6-54-powerful-minimal-email-client-asks.html. To do this run the following:

The output should look something like this:

The resulting SHA256 signature should match the signature displayed in the sha256sum column on the official download page for the image.

Bootable Live USB Drive

The quickest way to get up and running with Kali Linux is to run it live from a USB drive. This method has several advantages:

• It’s non-destructive as it makes no changes to the host system’s hard drive
• It’s portable so you can carry it with you and have it running in minutes on an available system
• It’s potentially persistent so that data can be saved on the UDB drive

To create a bootable USB drive you will need a verified copy of the ISO image of the latest Kali build and a USB drive, a minimum 8GB in size. Creating a bootable Kali Linux USB drive is fairly easy. Once you’ve downloaded and verified your Kali ISO file, use one of the following commands:

• In Linux login as root and use the dd command
• In Windows use one of the GUI tools, unetbootin or rufus

I will be using the first method on MX Linux.

Mount the USB Drive

Log into root (or use sudo) and check the list of disk drives before inserting the USB drive:

For one disk this will return something like:

Now insert the USB drive and run the command again:

This will return something similar to:

Here the USB drive is mounted as /dev/sdb.

Create the USB Drive

To create the bootable USB drive, change to the directory containing the ISO and run the dd command. This will take between 5 an 10 minutes.

WARNING: Although this process is very easy, be careful as you easily overwrite a disk drive if you specify an incorrect path. Double-check what you’re doing before you do it, it’ll be too late afterwards. The command dd is not known as disk destroyer for nothing!

Test the USB Drive

To test the bootable USB drive, reboot the machine.

Add Persistence

The Kali Linux Live USB drive has an option, option 4, on the boot menu which enables the use of persistence, the preservation of data on the USB drive across reboots of Kali Live. This can be very useful as changes to files can be saved even when booting from different systems. Office for mac 16.15.

Here we setup the Kali Linux Live USB drive to supprt persistence. We will assume that:

• the user is root
• the USB drive is /dev/sdb
• the USB drive has a capacity of at least 8GB. The Kali Linux image takes just over 3GB and a new partition of about 4.5GB is required to store persistent data
• a separate Linux system is running, it cannot be a Kali Live USB drive

To add persistence, first boot into a Linux system and insert the Kali Live USB drive. Here I will be using MX Linux.

Show Disks

First insert the USB drive and display the disk details:

Edit Disk

Enter the following command:

Then to show the help screen enter m at the command prompt:

Create Partition

To create the new partition enter n:

Note that the defaults are shown in brackets.

Press return for a primary partition (default p).

Press return for the partition number (default 3).

Press return to accept the default for the first sector.

Enter a size of +4.5G and press return. Best sketching software windows.

To display the partion table enter p.

Save Partition Table

To finish and write the new partition table to disc, enter w:

List the available disk partitions with:

You can also check with:

Create Filesystem

The next step is to create an ext3 file system on the partition and label it persistence. This may take a few minutes:

Create a mount point and mount the new partition:

Create File

Display the mounted partition:

Then create the configuration file to enable persistence:

Finally, unmount the partition:

Testing Persistence
