How to create a boot-able USB drive?
Requirements:
A USB drive of 4GB or more
Kali Linux ISO
And Rufus – which is a small and neat software used to create boot-able USB
The first thing you need to do is download and install ‘Rufus’ from https://rufus.akeo.ie
Secondly download the Kali Linux images from https://www.kali.org/downloads according to the requirement.
Once the images has been download, open the Rufus application.
Once the Rufus is up insert your USB drive, Rufus auto detects the USB
Change Free-DOS to ISO image on “ Create a boot-able disk using” under Format options and navigate to the location where
the Kali ISO has been saved.
Finally click on start.
Wait for the process to complete!
Once its done – go to your computer’s BIOS setting and enable the BIOS to boot from the USB
To specify the boot sequence you can try pressing ESC key, F1, F2, F8, F10 or F12 depending on the system.
Now insert the newly created boot-able Kali Linux USB in your system and restart the machine.
The Kali Linux Boot Menu appears : Select Live (amd64) and hit enter.
The system starts which will take less than a minute, when prompted for username and password, type in:
Username – root
Password – toor
root and toor is the default username and password in Kali Linux.
