Kali Linux Network PXE Install

                Kali Linux Network PXE Install Setup a PXE Server Booting and installing Kali over the network ( PXE ) can be useful from a single laptop install with no CDROM or USB ports, to enterprise deployments supporting pre-seeding of the Kali installation. First, we need to install  dnsmasq  to provide the DHCP/TFTP server and then edit the  dnsmasq.conf  file. apt-get install  dnsmasq nano   / etc / dnsmasq.conf In  dnsmasq.conf , enable DHCP, TFTP and PXE booting and set the  dhcp-range  to match your environment. If needed you can also define your gateway and DNS servers with the  dhcp-option  directive as shown below: interface =eth0 dhcp-range=192.168.101.100,192.168.101.200,12h dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0 enable-tftp tftp-root= / tftpboot / dhcp-option= 3 ,192.168.101.1 dhcp-option= 6 ,8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4 With the edits in place, the dnsmasq service needs to be restarted in order for the changes to take effect. service dnsmasq restart Download Ka

Making a Kali Bootable USB Drive

                                     Making a Kali Bootable USB Drive Our favorite way, and the fastest method, for getting up and running with Kali Linux is to run it “live” from a USB drive. This method has several advantages: It’s non-destructive — it makes no changes to the host system’s hard drive or installed OS, and to go back to normal operations, you simply remove the “Kali Live” USB drive and restart the system. It’s portable — you can carry Kali Linux in your pocket and have it running in minutes on an available system It’s customizable — you can  roll your own custom Kali Linux ISO image  and put it onto a USB drive using the same procedures It’s potentially persistent — with a bit of extra effort, you can configure your Kali Linux “live” USB drive to have  persistent storage , so the data you collect is saved across reboots In order to do this, we first need to create a bootable USB drive which has been set up from an ISO image of Kali Linux. What You’ll

Downloading Kali Linux

IMPORTANT!  Never   download Kali Linux images from  anywhere other than the official sources .  Always  be sure to  verify the SHA256 checksums of the file you’ve downloaded against our  official values . It would be easy for a malicious entity to modify a Kali installation to contain exploits or malware and host it unofficially. Where to Get Official Kali Linux Images ISO Files for Intel-based PCs In order to run Kali “Live” from a USB drive on standard Windows and Apple PCs, you’ll need a Kali Linux bootable ISO image, in either 32-bit or 64-bit format. If you’re not sure of the architecture of the system you want to run Kali on, on Linux or OS X, you can run the command uname -m at the command line. If you get the response, “x86_64”, use the 64-bit ISO image (the one containing “amd64” in the file name); if you get “i386”, use the 32-bit image (the one containing “i386” in the file name). If you’re on a Windows system, the procedure for determining whether your arc
