2.3. Summary
In this chapter, you learned about the various Kali Linux ISO images, learned how to verify and
download them, and learned how to create bootable USB disks from them on various operating sys-
tems. We also discussed how to boot the USB disks and reviewed how to configure the BIOS/UEFI
and startup settings on various hardware platforms so that the USB disks will boot.
Summary Tips:
• www.kali.org is the only official download site for Kali ISOs. Do not download them from
any other site, because those downloads could contain malware.
• Always validate the sha256sum of your downloads with the
sha256sum
command to ensure
the integrity of your ISO download. If it doesn’t match, try the download again or use a
different source.
• You must write the Kali Linux ISO image to a bootable media if you want to boot it on a
physical machine. Use Win32 Disk Imager on Microsoft Windows, the Disks utility on Linux
using GNOME, or the
dd
command on Mac OS X/macOS/Linux. Be very careful when writing
the image. Selecting the wrong disk could permanently damage data on your machine.
• Configure the BIOS/UEFI Setup screens on a PC or hold the Option key on OS X/macOS to
allow the machine to boot from the USB drive.
• Virtual machine programs like VirtualBox and VMware Workstation Pro are especially useful
if you want to try out Kali Linux but aren’t ready to commit to installing it permanently on

your machine or if you have a powerful system and want to run multiple operating systems
simultaneously.

mentals that are required for basic and advanced operation of Kali. If you are a moderate to ad-
vanced Linux user, consider skimming the next chapter (chapter
