Kali Linux (Live) Boot on usb using win32 disk imager

Kali Bootable USB drive

 What You’ll Need

• If you’re running under Windows, you’ll need to download the Win32 Disk Imager(click here) utility. On Linux and OS X, you can use the dd command, which is pre-installed on those platforms.
•  A verified copy of the appropriate ISO image of the latest Kali build image for the system you’ll be running it on: see the details on downloading official Kali Linux images.(click here to download)
•  A USB thumb drive, 4GB or larger. (Systems with a direct SD card slot can use an SD card with similar capacity. The procedure is identical.)

Kali Linux Live USB Install Procedure

 

 Plug your USB drive into an available USB port on your Windows PC, note which drive designator (e.g. “F:\”) it uses once it mounts, and launch the Win32 Disk Imager software you downloaded.

 Choose the Kali Linux ISO file to be imaged and verify that the USB drive to be overwritten is the correct one. Click the “Write” button.

 Once the imaging is complete, safely eject the USB drive from the Windows machine. You can now use the USB device to boot into Kali Linux.

Creating a Bootable Kali USB Drive on Linux

Creating a bootable Kali Linux USB key in a Linux environment is easy. Once you’ve downloaded and verified your Kali ISO file, you can use the dd command to copy it over to your USB stick using the following procedure. Note that you’ll need to be running as root, or to execute the dd command with sudo. The following example assumes a Linux Mint 17.1 desktop — depending on the distro you’re using, a few specifics may vary slightly, but the general idea should be very similar.

WARNING: Although the process of imaging Kali Linux onto a USB drive is very easy, you can just as easily overwrite a disk drive you didn’t intend to with dd if you do not understand what you are doing, or if you specify an incorrect output path. Double-check what you’re doing before you do it, it’ll be too late afterwards.

Consider yourself warned.

 First, you’ll need to identify the device path to use to write the image to your USB drive. Without the USB drive inserted into a port, execute the command 

sudo fdisk -l

at a command prompt in a terminal window (if you don’t use elevated privileges with fdisk, you won’t get any output). You’ll get output that will look something (not exactly) like this, showing a single drive — “/dev/sda” — containing three partitions (/dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, and /dev/sda5):

Now, plug your USB drive into an available USB port on your system, and run the same command, “sudo fdisk -l” a second time. Now, the output will look something (again, not exactly) like this, showing an additional device which wasn’t there previously, in this example “/dev/sdb”, a 16GB USB drive:

 Proceed to (carefully!) image the Kali ISO file on the USB device. The example command below assumes that the ISO image you’re writing is named “kali-linux-2017.1-amd64.iso” and is in your current working directory. The blocksize parameter can be increased, and while it may speed up the operation of the dd command, it can occasionally produce unbootable USB drives, depending on your system and a lot of different factors. The recommended value, “bs=512k”, is conservative and reliable.

 dd if=kali-linux-2017.1-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=512k

Imaging the USB drive can take a good amount of time, over ten minutes or more is not unusual, as the sample output below shows. Be patient!

The dd command provides no feedback until it’s completed, but if your drive has an access indicator, you’ll probably see it flickering from time to time. The time to dd the image across will depend on the speed of the system used, USB drive itself, and USB port it’s inserted into. Once dd has finished imaging the drive, it will output something that looks like this:

5823+1 records in
5823+1 records out 
3053371392 bytes (3.1 GB) copied, 746.211 s, 4.1 MB/s

That’s it, really! You can now boot into a Kali Live / Installer environment using the USB device.

Creating a Bootable Kali USB Drive on OS X

OS X is based on UNIX, so creating a bootable Kali Linux USB drive in an OS X environment is similar to doing it on Linux. Once you’ve downloaded and verified your chosen Kali ISO file, you use dd to copy it over to your USB stick.

WARNING: Although the process of imaging Kali on a USB drive is very easy, you can just as easily overwrite a disk drive you didn’t intend to with dd if you do not understand what you are doing, or if you specify an incorrect output path. Double-check what you’re doing before you do it, it’ll be too late afterwards.

 Consider yourself warned.

1. Without the USB drive plugged into the system, open a Terminal window, and type the command diskutil list at the command prompt.
2. You will get a list of the device paths (looking like /dev/disk0, /dev/disk1, etc.) of the disks mounted on your system, along with information on the partitions on each of the disks.                                                                            
3.  Plug in your USB device to your Apple computer’s USB port and run the command diskutil list a second time. Your USB drive’s path will most likely be the last one. In any case, it will be one which wasn’t present before. In this example, you can see that there is now a /dev/disk6 which wasn’t previously present

 

• Unmount the drive (assuming, for this example, the USB stick is /dev/disk6 — do not simply copy this, verify the correct path on your own system!): 

diskutil unmount /dev/disk6

• Proceed to (carefully!) image the Kali ISO file on the USB device. The following command assumes that your USB drive is on the path /dev/disk6, and you’re in the same directory with your Kali Linux ISO, which is named “kali-linux-2017.1-amd64.iso”:

sudo dd if=kali-linux-2017.1-amd64.iso of=/dev/disk6 bs=1m

Note: Increasing the blocksize (bs) will speed up the write progress, but will also increase the chances of creating a bad USB stick. Using the given value on OS X has produced reliable images consistently.

Imaging the USB drive can take a good amount of time, over half an hour is not unusual, as the sample output below shows. Be patient!

The dd command provides no feedback until it’s completed, but if your drive has an access indicator, you’ll probably see it flickering from time to time. The time to dd the image across will depend on the speed of the system used, USB drive itself, and USB port it’s inserted into. Once dd has finished imaging the drive, it will output something that looks like this:

2911+1 records in
2911+1 records out
3053371392 bytes transferred in 2151.132182 secs (1419425 bytes/sec)

And that’s it! You can now boot into a Kali Live / Installer environment using the USB device.

To boot from an alternate drive on an OS X system, bring up the boot menu by pressing the Option key immediately after powering on the device and select the drive you want to use.

How to Customize Android’s Quick Settings Dropdown Menu

Customizing DropDown Menu

With the launch of Android 5.0 Lollipop , Google added a convenient Quick Settings panel to the top of the screen, letting you toggle settings such as WiFi, Bluetooth, auto-rotation and more. With the help of a third-party utility, you can add any shortcut you’d like to this slide-down drawer.

The app in question is Custom Quick Settings and it works with Android 5.0 and Android 6.0 devices (if you’re on the older version of the OS, you have to root your phone or tablet first). For a couple of dollars you can upgrade to a Pro version that gives you extra features (more on that later).
Before you can get started, you need to enable System UI Tuner , give Custom Quick Settings
advanced permissions, and set up a blank tile. Step-by-step instructions for all of these procedures are included in the app, so you shouldn’t run into any problems. With that done, it’s time to define a new tile.

Tiles have a title, icon, click action, and long-click action. You can toggle switches, open URLs, and launch apps as required. Pro users get a few other launch actions to play around with too. If you pay for the Pro version, you can also access custom icons and icon packs. But otherwise, you’re stuck with built-in icons (of which there are many) and app icons.

Remember you can use System UI Tuner in the main Settings app to rearrange tiles and delete them completely from the drawer. Just tap Quick Settings to access the relevant screen. If there are some built-in toggle switches you never use, like Cast or Hotspot, you can get rid of them here.

If you want to make the Quick Settings pane tailored to your exact needs, then it’s worth taking a look at Custom Quick Settings. It doesn’t interfere with the rest of the OS, and we didn’t notice any battery drain while using it. There’s also support for Tasker intents for even more possibilities, but again this is only available if you upgrade to the Pro version

This method will create a USB drive that is bootable. You can then copy the contents of an operating installation disc onto the drive to create a portable installation drive. This method only works in Windows Vista, 7, and 8.

Step 2:

Open the disk management utility. This can be opened by entering the command “disk part”.

Step 3:
Display the connected disks. Type the command list disk to show a list of all the drives connected to your computer. Your USB drive should be listed here as well. Make note of the number next to your USB drive.

Step 4:

Select the USB drive. Enter the command select disk #, replace “#” with the number from the previous step

Step 5:
Clean the flash drive. Enter the command clean to have the disk management utility verify the integrity of the USB drive, and erase all data.

Step 6:
Create a bootable partition. Once the USB drive is clean, type in create partition primary. You will see a message saying that the operation was successful

Step 7:
Select the new partition. Enter the command select partition 1 and press Enter. Once you receive a confirmation message, type active and press Enter. This will activate the partition.

Step 8:
Format the USB drive. Input the command format fs=fat32 . When you press Enter, the program will work for a few minutes (if it is a small USB, e.g. 4Gb could take hours to slow format), and the progress will be displayed as a percentage.

Step 9:
Assign the USB a drive letter. Enter the command assign to give the thumb drive a letter designation. Type exit to end the disk management program

Step 10:  

now your USB drive has been made bootable successfully……enjoy.
