Creating a Live Kali Linux USB stick

=Flash USB Stick=

==Version 1==

To put a Kali Linux iso onto a USB drive...

First, download the iso file for the right distribution. Put the iso on a computer with Linux. Plug the jump drive into the Linux computer with the iso file.

From the Linux computer, run the following command:

<pre>
dd if=kali-linux-1.0.9a-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=512k
</pre>

Make sure you know which <code>/dev/sdX</code> is your jump drive, and which is your hard drive! You can list your disk partitions with the command:

<pre>
fdisk -l
</pre>

The <code>dd</code> command will put the iso onto the jump drive:

<pre>
root@mars:/iso/kali-linux-1.1.0a-i386# dd if=kali-linux-1.1.0a-i386.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=512k
6058+1 records in
6058+1 records out
3176333312 bytes (3.2 GB) copied, 542.667 s, 5.9 MB/s
</pre>

took about 15 minutes.

==Version 2==

Following instructions here:

http://docs.kali.org/downloading/kali-linux-live-usb-install

After downloading the iso, check to make sure it's legit:

<pre>
$ cat kali-linux-1.1.0a-amd64.txt.sha1sum && openssl sha1 kali-linux-1.1.0a-amd64.iso
2b8d2db20e2709c5e9e0f9f9bbd8606c9b9e729f kali-linux-1.1.0a-amd64.iso
SHA1(kali-linux-1.1.0a-amd64.iso)= 2b8d2db20e2709c5e9e0f9f9bbd8606c9b9e729f
</pre>

I ran this command once without the USB drive plugged in, and once with the USB plugged in:

<pre>
$ diskutil list
</pre>

I found my disk at /dev/disk2. I unmounted it with

<pre>
$ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2
</pre>

Then I formatted the USB drive with:

<pre>
$ sudo dd if=kali-linux-1.1.0a-amd64.iso of=/dev/disk2 bs=1m
</pre>

Give it a good 20 minutes or so...

<pre>
2921+1 records in
2921+1 records out
3063349248 bytes transferred in 762.810003 secs (4015875 bytes/sec)
</pre>

And that's all folks, now the USB drive is bootable.
