1.4.2 Installing to a USB driveKali Linux USB drives provide the ability to permanently save system settings, permanently update and install packages on USB devices, and allow users to run their own personalized Kali Linux. Create a bootable Live USB drive on a Linux distribution on the WIN32 Disk Imager, which includes persistent storage for Kali Linux. This section describes the steps to install Kali Linux to a USB drive.
Installing an operating system onto a USB drive is a bit different from installing to a hard drive. Therefore, you need to do some preparatory work before installing. For example, where to get Linux? What is the format of the USB drive? What is the size of the USB drive? ...... These requirements are listed below.
Once the preparation is complete, you can install the system. The steps to install Kali Linux on a USB drive are as follows.
(1) Insert a formatted and writable USB drive into the Windows system. After inserting, the display is shown in interface 1.23.
Figure 1.23 Removable devices
(2) Start Win32 Disk Imager, as shown in the Start interface 1.24. In the image file location, click the icon to select the location of the Kali Linux DVD ISO image, select the USB device that will install Kali Linux, and the device in this example is K. After you select the ISO image file and the USB device, click the Write button to write the ISO file to the USB drive.
Figure 1.24 Win32 Disk Imager Initial interface
(3) Use the UNetbootin tool to make the device k a USB boot disk. Starting the UNetbootin tool, the interface shown in 1.25 will be displayed.

1.4.3 Install to Raspberry PiRaspberry Pi (named "Raspberry Pi", abbreviated as RPI) is an arm-based micro-computer motherboard with an SD card as a memory drive. For portability, installing Kali Linux on a Raspberry Pi is a good choice. This section describes installing the Kali Linux operating system on a Raspberry Pi.
(1) Download the image file of the Raspberry Pi from the http://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-vmware-arm-image-download/website, Its file name is KALI-LINUX-1.0.6A-RPI.IMG.XZ.
(2) The downloaded image file is a compressed package that needs to be decompressed using the 7-zip compression software. After decompression, its name is kali-linux-1.0.6a-rpi.img.
(3) Use the Win32 Disk Imager tool to write the extracted image file to the Raspberry Pi SD card. Starting the Win32 Disk Imager tool, the interface shown in 1.27 will be displayed.
Figure 1.27 WIN32 Disk Imager Launch interface
(4) In the interface click the icon, select Kali-linux-1.0.6a-rpi.img, will show the interface shown in 1.28.

Then connect to the monitor, plug in the network cable, mouse, keyboard and power, and a few seconds later the Kali Linux operating system will start. Log in with Kali Default user name and password, with the default username and password as root and Toor.
If users find it troublesome to plug some devices back and forth using the Kali on the Raspberry Pi, you can use the Putty attack to telnet to Kali's command line. Because the SSH service is started by default in Linux, users can remotely connect to Kali Linux using the 22 port of the SSH service in putty. Putty not only connects remotely to the Kali operating system on the Raspberry Pi, it can connect to the Kali operating system installed on any device. The following describes the use of the Putty tool to remotely connect to the Kali Linux operating system.
(1) Download the Putty version of Windows.
(2) Start the Putty tool and the interface shown in 1.32 will be displayed.
Figure 1.32 Putty Tools
