Setup Kali Linux on Raspberry Pi 3 without Display : Portable Hacking Machine

The Raspberry Pi is a low-cost, credit-card-sized ARM computer. Despite being a good bit less powerful than a laptop or desktop PC, its affordability makes it an excellent option for a tiny Linux system and it can do far more than act as a media hub.

The Raspberry Pi provides a SD card slot for mass storage and will attempt to boot off that device when the board is powered on.

So Let's Get Started..

Things You Need :

• Raspberry Pi 3 : Amazon
• SD Card (16 GB) : Amazon
• Card Reader/SD Card Adoptor : Amazon
• PowerBank/Charger : Amazon
• PC/Laptop : Amazon
• Linux Operating System with Root Access : Kali Linux or ParrotSecOS
• Brain and Patience.

Installing Kali Linux on SD-Card :

1. Download the Kali Linux Raspberry Pi image from the Offensive Security downloads area.

2. Download Etcher for You Operating System

3. Get a fast SD card with at least 16 GB capacity and Connect it with your PC/Laptop using card reader.

4. Run Etcher, choose Downloaded .img file of Kali Linux then choose SD-Card as disk then click on Flash button.

WARNING : This Process will overwrite any existing data on your SD card. If you specify the wrong device path, you could wipe out your computer’s hard disk !!!

5. This process can take a while depending on your SD card’s device speed and image size..
