2. Depending on the storage expansion slot available on your specific ARM device, acquire
an SD card, micro SD card, or embedded multi-media controller (eMMC) module that has a
capacity of at least 8 GB.
3. Copy the downloaded image to the storage device with
dd
. This is similar to the process of
copying an ISO image onto a USB key (see section
2.1.4
, “
Copying the Image on a DVD-ROM
or USB Key
” [page 19]).
#
dd if=kali-image.img of=/dev/something bs=512k
4. Plug the SD-card/eMMC into your ARM device.
5. Boot your ARM device and log into it (
user ”kali”, password ”kali”). If you don’t have a screen
connected, then you will have to discover the IP address that has been assigned via DHCP
and connect to that address over SSH. Some DHCP servers have tools or web interfaces to
show the current leases. If you don’t have this as an option, use a sniffer to look for DHCP
lease traffic, or either a ICMP/ARP scan of the local network.
6. Change the default user password and generate new SSH host keys, especially if the device
will be permanently running on a public network! These steps are relatively straightfor-
ward, see “
Generating New SSH Host Keys
” [page 115].
7. Enjoy your new ARM device running Kali Linux!
