Kali Linux is an open-source, Debian-based Linux distribution geared towards various information security tasks, such as Penetration Testing, Security Research, Computer Forensics and Reverse Engineering. # Features: - External WiFi antenna already set in config.txt. - linux-headers included with kernel. - Works with both DevTerm and uConsole. - Auto-expanding file system - On first boot system will boot expand FS then reboot. - Updated driver overlays - easier config.txt management. - Just follow the instructions at the bottom of the config.txt - Username / Password: kali / kali Raspberry Pi Imager will cause image not to boot if you apply custom settings. ![Screenshot_2025-05-19_14_07_56](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/1/1aefac2ce04a434147bcbb8d84089bf299db6cf0.jpeg) Download from the link below. > **[AK-Rex - Home](https://ak-rex.com)** > > AK-Rex - open-source programmer and tinkerer building custom Linux images for handheld and embedded hardware.

Hey, since Kali is a rolling release, does your image survive apt full-upgrades? ---

Hello, I’m trying to burn kali image with balenaEtcher and getting this error every time: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/a/a956d7a970f3fcffe7fa366149d7f1fd2cdb9d2b.png) SD card is new, already tried to format it several time. Also tried rufus without success. What can be wrong? ---

Don’t decompress the image. Use Raspberry Pi imager and flash the compressed xz image to your SD card and don’t use any custom settings. ---

> [@Rex](#): > > Raspberry Pi imager Thank you for your response, I’ve tried this but ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/4/45860e2997440b8864d5fa9226e0d78867bf008b.png) Probably something with SD card, but it’s weired cause it’s new SanDisk card, all health checks passing normally without any errors and bad sectors. I’ll try another one first ---

Maybe the download corrupted, try redownloading the image. If it still does it try to download from the other link and let me know so I can reupload the corrupted one. ---

With noname SD card it’s working fine) Thank you for help! But currently I have another problem when I trying to apt upgrade constantly losing wifi connection. Trying to understand why now short update: looks like changing setting managed to true in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf helps me ---
