|
### Make USB bootable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use `dd` to write the kali image to USB.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In linux environment:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
# dd if=kali-linux-xxxx.x-live-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdX status=progress bs=4M
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Replace `kali-linux-xxxx.x-live-amd64.iso` with downloaded iso iamge path and `/dev/sdX` with path of your USB device. You can find USB path by running `lsblk` in terminal. Make sure you don’t select the existing linux installation drive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Create persistence partition
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create a primary partition with `fdisk`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
# fdisk /dev/sdx
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.35.2).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Be careful before using the write command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The device contains 'iso9660' signature and it will be removed by a write command. See fdisk(8) man page and --wipe option for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Command (m for help): n
|
|
|
|
|
|
Partition type
|
|
|
|
|
|
p primary (3 primary, 0 extended, 1 free)
|
|
|
|
|
|
e extended (container for logical partitions)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Select (default e):p
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Selected partition 3
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Press `n` to create a new partition. Type `p` to make it primary. Hit enter twice so all the remaining space would be allocated to new partition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Type `w` to write changes to USB drive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Create filesystem
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create ext4 filesystem in new partition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX3 -L persistence
|
|
|
|
|
|
# e2label /dev/sdX3 persistence
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Mount new partition
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mount the new created partition somewhere in your filesystem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
# mount /dev/sdX3 /mnt
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Create configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create a configuration file in new partition which we mounted earlier at `/mnt`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo "/ union" > /mnt/persistence.conf
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Un-mount the partition
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Un-mount the partition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
# umount /dev/sdX3
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Reboot
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reboot and press your hardware dedicated button to boot from new created USB. Don’t forget to select the persistence option from Kali menu.
