#KALI LINUX USB PERSISTENCE ON WINDOWS SOFTWARE#
After installing Kali on a USB make sure you have a Linux swap partition.ġ) don't format the persistence partition using a windows software in windows os.įormat it using Gparted from Kali. For all those who have issues with using Kali USB persistence mode I have the solution and after many many hours of trying harder I finally did it and it worked.įollow these steps assuming you already installed Kali weekly edition on a USB stick or hdd, using win32 software as advertised on Kali's documentation website. Cause they other copied one another and they're wrong or they have different situation. None of them tutorials or videos online work. Once turned back on through live persistence, create a folder and leave on Desktop as a test to see if usb will successfully save. Remove both of the quotation marks so it will look like this: / union. Open it up using a text editor (gedit/leafpad/ or whatever) and you will see the word UNION. Then on your Desktop, you will see a drive that is named "persistence." Open the drive and a folder named nf will be seen. Choose Live Persistence once Kali is turned back on. Then Reboot from the actual Boot Menu itself. So anyway type: mkdir -p /mnt/my_usb mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/my_usb echo "/ union" > /mnt/my_usb/nf umount /dev/sdb2 ((PS - after typing "fdisk -l" I found that my usb was located in "/dev/sdb/" and the persistence partition itself was located in "/dev/sdb2"))

So for anyone else who ever has trouble with this - here is one way to configure persistence to your live boot usb:Īssuming you have already burned your Kali Linux 2016 iso image onto your usb stick, and also assuming you have already created a partition through gparted - the following syntax applies. I tried this - which successfully worked.
