If you want to place your config file to /boot/config.txt in Kali Linux for Raspberry Pi as you did on Raspbian. You will find that /boot directory on Kali is not a boot partition.

To use the boot partition, you need to mount it.

Create the directory (I use /media/boot to avoid conflict with /boot)

$ mkdir /media/boot

Mount it permanently for all users

$ nano /etc/fstab

Edit the content of /etc/fstab as following:

/dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/boot vfat user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0

Now, you can use the boot partition for your config file via /media/boot which you can write it on your PC when you insert your SD Card to card reader on PC

Enable SSH service on Kali Raspberry Pi

SSH is not enable by default on Kali for Raspberry Pi. If you want to access your Raspberry Pi via ssh, you need to install OpenSSH and enable it. This blog will show you how to do.

First, check if ssh service is installed

$ service --status-all

If ssh not be shown on list, you need to install OpenSSH by using command

$ apt-get install openssh-server

Then enable it

$ update-rc.d -f ssh defaults

Now, you can access your Raspberry Pi Kali using ssh.

In case you got problem starting ssh, just remove and enable ssh service again.

$ update-rc.d -f ssh remove

$ update-rc.d -f ssh defaults

Kali Linux 1.1.0 for Raspberry Pi 2 Model B

I plan to use Raspberry Pi 2 Model B as a drop-box device for penetration test due to it's small foot print and has a reasonable CPU power while it can run using battery.

I started by compile Kali Linux 1.1.0 for Raspberry Pi 2 using instruction from Pro Checkup Blog

In case you do not want to compile by yourself, you can download it from here:

Kali Linux 1.1.0 image for Raspberry Pi 2 Model B

After boot Kali 1.1.0 on Raspberry Pi 2, run following update

# apt-get install sudo

# apt-get install parted

Then expand the image to the full size of the SD Card

# /scripts/rpi-wiggle.sh

Then install Kali full Linux

# apt-get update

# apt-get install kali-linux-full
