How to create bootable kali linux USB?
In previous versions of kali linux we need to perform some extra steps to create persistence most of time. But in it’s latest version kali linux 2020.1b we can create persistence with rufus only and we don’t need any extra steps. It’s lot of easier. Let’s start our tutorial now.
- You need to download kali linux live iso file from this link. Download 64/32 bit according to your computer. I have downloaded 64 bit file. Just download the torrent file from the site and click on your downloaded file and open your file in torrent app to download. You can also use UC browser to download torrent file.
- Now download rufus tool from it’s official link.
Download rufus 9. Your windows version and processor won’t matter because it will run on either 64 or 32 bit any. - Now connect your USB in your pc. USB must be empty and must be equal to or more than 8 GB.
- Then open rufus app and select your usb.
- Then select the kali linux iso image and for persistence partition volume, slide the bar in “persistence partition size” to max. Your setting should be exactly like mine. I am using 8GB usb that’s why mine persistence partition is 4gb.
- Now click on start and click ok when it asks.
- Wait for some time to complete.
- After it completes, restart your device and go to boot device option. To go to boot device option just enter your boot setup key before your pc logo shows up while booting. Mine key was esc. Your might be del, F9, F12,etc. Just google your boot setup key with pc version to find out.
- Now select your pendrive
- Then click on live USB persistence. Now you got live bootable persistence usb of kali linux.
Note: You won’t require further steps with terminal to create persistence. Remember to use rufus for this operation. Always use “live USB persistence” option while booting.
