Raspberry Pi Zero W Kali Linux Setup headlessly #1

Setting up a Raspberry Pi Zero W with Kali Linux headlessly involves configuring the operating system on the microSD card before inserting it into the Pi.

Here are the general steps:

1. Download Kali Linux Image:

Visit the official Kali Linux website (https://www.kali.org/downloads/) and download the Raspberry Pi image. Make sure to select the correct version for your Raspberry Pi Zero W.

2. Write Kali Linux Image to microSD Card:

Use a tool like BalenaEtcher or Raspberry Pi Imager to write the Kali Linux image to your microSD card.

3. Enable SSH:

To enable SSH on Kali Linux by default, create an empty file named “ssh” in the boot partition of the microSD card, command: “touch ssh”. This allows you to connect to the Raspberry Pi Zero W remotely.

4. Configure Wi-Fi:

Create a `wpa_supplicant.conf` file in the boot partition to configure Wi-Fi. Replace `your_SSID` and `your_password` with your actual Wi-Fi SSID and password.

step 1:

command: nano wpa_supplicant.conf

step 2:

network={
ssid=”Nahid0x1”
#psk=”Mbangladesh22" #your password
psk=7b4a1e55f50bfe7c3e0265a5110d12a11c0a28f689c97fb48d9a5a555de73f01 #your password
}

save and close the file!

now insert your sdcard to your raspberry pi zero w and power on, wait for 7–10 minute for booting the system. after 7–10 minute later now you search your raspberry pi zero w ip address (if connected with home wifi so go to the admin panel and check the device lists) now type this command: ssh kali@kali-raspberry-pi-zero-w
