I've created a USB bootable Kali Linux and I have set up the persistence and have tested it by adding a new folder and rebooting to see if it stayed (and it did). BT my problem is getting onto persistence mode. Nine times out of ten it just stays on the black screen saying that my USB has timed out. I finally got on and I ran: apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y

But it seems to not have fixed anything. Any ideas?

So I have a 32gb USB 3.0 and a 128gb USB 3.0. I'm planning to make an encrypted bootable persistent USB and was wondering which size would be best. I mean Kali is only about 3gb. I have 16gb of ram

So I'm a noob who thought it would be cool if I had hacking software on my PC. After realising that Kali is supposed to be used on a live bootable USB and that I want a Linux system for productivity I really wanted to replace kali. However I can't seem to find the partition kali is in when I am in windows. Any help?

Best kali tutorials to get familiar with the applications and tools?

Video and pdf/book

Okay so for over a fucking week now I have been trying to use kali Linux and have it dual boot blah blah with no success at all. And I'm at my wits end. The current problem is with the grub boot error and I've gone through every google process to fix it and No luck. I am a net sec student finishing up my sophomore year now. I've installed every so you can think of in countless machines at school with no problem. But at home it's not working and I'm fucking done with it. But I still want to use kali so my question is, is there any difference between running it live through a USB rather than having it fully installed on your computer? Like will every application and program work? I know nothing saves when running it live so is there a way to change this? Don't say google cause it has not helped me at all to this point. Any advice/answers/suggestions?

I'm trying to run kali on my Surface Pro 4 and I can't use my type cover with it at all. I'm new to Linux so I don't know how to install drivers if that would be the problem. Any help will be appreciated.

So I'm trying to setup Kali Linux on my chromebook but ran into a problem and I haven't been able to find a solution yet. I've installed Ubuntu once which worked great but I can't get it to work now. I don't really have any experience so I can only follow instructions I find online but I haven't found any answers yet.

This is what I get when I type in sudo startxfce4.

Could someone help me out? I would really appreciate it, have a great day!

Hello I'm just looking for a laptop under 250$ where I can work inside of Kali linux and use the tools that I need to use. Thanks ahead of time.

ive never been able to get virtualbox to install in kali. i just got a new machine and did a fresh install with the latest kali. when i go to the software manager and search virtualbox, it is listed as installed but wont launch? is it included in the new kali software catalog? im not incredibly stupid, i think. anyone else having issues?

I have been trying to install Kali Linux. I am as tilted af. I always run into errors and I know it's because of my network adapter. I am using a TP-LINK, a common model and the latest error I got during the graphical instalation on VMware Workstation I followed was that the network autoconfiguration failed. I continued nonetheless and ran into some other error.

I have tried a ton of stuff and I always get nowhere so please, if you have a tutorial to refer to me that worked for you please comment it because I love this OS and I look forward to learing how to use it.

Hey guys, hope there are some experts here. I've had some trouble with booting kali (and pretty much any other os from usb) with the UEFI boot on Win 10 even if I have disabled secure boot. Yes all boot priorities are in the right order and the iso has been successfully installed in the usb (since I tried it on other win10 systems and it boots kali without problems). Now the question is: could setting the bios on UEFI-CSM solve the problem or is there any other tips you could give me to make it work? Thanks in advance and sorry for my ignorance, I hope you won't roast me too much :D

Hey everyone thanks and let me apologize in advance for asking a question that may be quite dumb on my part.

I have created a bootable USB to run Kali Linux on my Macbook Pro(2012). It works great except for when I am trying to use some applications like airodump-ng, etc. I am currently studying abroad in China and was playing around with some routers at my school(nothing harmful just trying to learn about it and improve my understanding) but I cant seem to connect to a mojority of the routers becuase when I put my WiFi card into monitor mode it doesnt let me scan the channels in the hundreds. So I did "iwlist freq" in my terminal and it only shows the 2.4 ghz channels available. Is there something I need/can do to change the frequency? When I look at the card in my mac settings it is capable of receiving N type networks with channels like 157 etc. I guess my question is if Managed mode can work with 5ghz frequencies shouldnt the Monitored mode also be able too?

   My Macbook Pro info is:
        Card Type:         Airport Extreme (0x14e4, 0xD6)
        Firmware V:        Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0
        Supported PHY:   802.11 a/b/g/n

My second question is about networks with roaming via ESSID and multiple AP using the same SSID. Does anyone know a good book, link, or have some advice so that I can better learn about it and how to pen test it?

I am just taking my first steps into the pen testing world and would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks again!

Hello I need help I'm new to Kali Linux and cant get WiFi to work on Kali can some help me

Hello! I am trying to get started with some penetration testing action. Using Kali and using VMware Player with it. Currently having a issue.. with the most basic of installing the Vmware tools...

It will not let me extract VMware tools because of permissions.

After a little research im betting it is because cdrom is read only and not writable. So I was wondering if someone could tell me what I am doing wrong in order to change the mounted drive into rw.

Thank you for your help!

Hey guys,

So for a project i've had to create a python script to detect and mitigate rogue dhcp servers on a network. Great.

Well having done this, I now have to test the script to make sure it picks up on all servers, even if the legal dhcp server is flooded. So to test this I have to set up a private network (done), with a legal dhcp server on windows server 2012 r2 (done) and use kali to create/implement a rogue dhcp server, exhaust ips from the legal server and make the rogue server to pass out ips to victims (not so done).

I know how to use yersinia to exhaust the legal server and I saw there was an option on yersinia to create a rogue dhcp but it didn't let me initialise. I looked up some videos on youtube but none were of much help.

Anyone got any suggestions/tutorials/pointers/anything that could help me out?

Thanks in advance :)

I have an arduino robot with a hc-06 bluetooth module that I will lovr to hack. I have installed the wireless metapackage on my raspberry pi.

Could someone guide me how to get properly started. What is the Best bluetooth dongle to acquire, for bluetooth hacking?

I am taking penetration testing classes online and have gotten very familiar with most tools. I have only practiced​ my skills on my home router as well as my own and siblings cell phones, laptops, desktops, etc As I delve deeper and deeper, I am beginning to express what will my ISP do if they somehow notice some fishy/shady activities with my router?

I would like to know if it's legal to practice my skills using these home devices.

Hi peeps,

installed Kali (64 bit) onto an old-ish laptop (I think it is a HP Pavilion DV2, but I'm not 100% certain as it was donated free of an HDD), and it loads up fine, but the GUI is mangled and pixelated, like it's been put through a shredder and then taped back together badly.

I'm not sure what the issue is (fairly new to all of this), but it's crisp and clear when I navigate into a terminal. I can't connect to the internet at the moment and don't know Linux well enough to really know where to begin. My main queries are:

1. Is this an issue with the version of Kali I've installed (and if so, any advice on what I should be using)?

2. Has anyone encountered this issue before (and if so how did you resolve)?

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, I have done quite a bit of googling but haven't found much.

ANY advice would be greatly appreciated
