First, you'll need a program to install Kali on your USB
drive and make it bootable. My program of choice is Universal USB Installer, as it's painfully easy to use and it has a direct link to many Linux
distros download page within the program.
Search for this button, and get the program. Once you run it,
you'll see a disclaimer page. Accept it (or read it first, if you feel like
it), and you'll be presented with the configuration section (after a few
seconds). Choose Kali from the dropdown menu:
Once you have downloaded your Kali image, select it:
And then choose the drive letter for your USB drive (you
probably won't need to use that checkbox on the right side). Be careful when
doing this.
I'd recommend to check the box that formats your USB drive.
That'll wipe your whole USB drive, make sure you back up everything you had
there before proceeding. It'll make a quick format, so there's no reason to
avoid this.
Click on Create, then Yes, and it'll do the whole process by
itself. The longest part will be extracting the ISO to your USB, but it'll be
over in a matter of minutes.
If everything went as expected, you'll see this, and you have
a USB you can Live boot you Kali from.
Setting
Up Perisitence
You
liked to Live boot from USB, but you want to save changes made into your OS, or
just files (such as .pcap files) into your USB drive? You'll need to set up
Persistence. Your USB drive must have 8 GB+ of storage space.
Download Mini Tool Partition Wizard Free, install it, run it and then choose Launch Application.
Right
click on your USB drive, and click on Move/Resize
Use the small black arrow keys to shrink the partition size.
It will leave a bit of storage space free, but if you manually assign the
Partition Size, the program may fail. Click OK.
A new big grey chunk of unallocated space as appeared! Right
click on it and click on Create. It'll warn us that Windows won't be able to
see that partition, but we don't care about that ;)
Pick this options:
· Create as: Primary
· File System: Ext4
· Partition Label: persistence
· File System: Ext4
· Partition Label: persistence
Then click OK.
Now click on Apply (upper left corner), and just wait for it
to complete the tasks.
Setting Up The Persistence
Once the partition manager finished, reboot
your computer and boot up from your USB drive. Choose the option "Live USB
Persistence", and when it's booted up, open a Terminal and use these
commands:
Determine which partition of your drive you'll use
fdisk -l
Remember your drive had a FAT32 partition and a
Ext4 (Linux) one?
Make a directory on the filesystem to mount your USB
mkdir -p /mnt/my_usb
Mount the partition on the directory you made (don't click the desktop
icon labeled persistence!)
mount /dev/sdc2 /mnt/my_usb
Add a configuration file to enable persistence
echo "/ union" > /mnt/my_usb/persistence.conf
Unmount the partition and reboot
umount /dev/sdc2 && reboot
Now, if you boot up to Live USB Persistence, you'll be able to save stuff
everywhere on your Linux filesystem, and every configuration you make locally
will be available everywhere you plug it in :)
I dont use a Linux but this is a very useful post for all those who do. Although had it been a little more simpler, more people would have understood it. Hope to see more soon.

ReplyDeleteCan this only be used for linux? Kali sounds very useful and easy to use but I don’t have a linux device. Thanks for posting about it though.
