- Linux operating system, preferrably existing Kali Linux OS
- sha256sum
- xzcat
- dd
- Download the image. Visit the Kali Linux ARM Images website and download the correct image. For the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, the correct image is labeled Kali Linux RaspberryPi 2 and 3 (This link is valid for version 2018.3).
- Verify the installation. Obtain the SHA256 checksum of the file that you downloaded with the
sha256sumtool. Open Bash and run this command (replace the filename with the correct filename):sha256sum kali-linux-2018.3-rpi3-nexmon.img.xzIf the computed checksum matches that provided on the website, then you can proceed with installing Kali Linux. The SHA256 checksum for version 2018.3 is a90717c67cd914e01a2f885a308b06f70cf9276c8760f1fa71a0ae372e341673. - Determine the correct drive. Use the fdisk utility to find the correct drive for your micro SD card. Run
fdisk -lto view all drives, and determine the correct one. It should appear as something similar to /dev/sdb. - Flash the image. Run the following command on the verified download file (replace the filename with the correct filename and the drive with the correct drive):
xzcat kali-linux-2018.3-rpi3-nexmon.img.xz | dd of=/dev/sdb bs=512k - Run Kali Linux. Unmount, eject, and insert the SD card into your Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. Connect the Raspberry Pi to a 5V DC 1.5A micro USB power supply, and log in with the username root and the password toor.
- Update the Raspberry Pi. Run the following commands to obtain the latest software and packages after configuring the network connection:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get autoremove
apt-get autoclean- Ashish D'Souza - Sole developer - computer-geek64
