I'm running on a mid-2010 MacBook Pro (Model 7,1).
See below for my network errors adventure.


First things first: download the image, and make a bootable USB.

==Bootable USB Drive==
For the full rundown of the errors that I experienced (basically, a broken network), the cause (stale information on the network router cache), and the solution (dropping the existing connection), see this page: [[Kali Network Debugging]]


Following instructions here:

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