Overview
I love my little Pi Zero W’s, and I love Kali. So why not combine the two? So here’s a post about Installing Kali Linux on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. I’ve done this before, and it’s reasonably well documented elsewhere, but I hate googling for all the pieces each time I do this so I figured I’d make a blog post documenting it all for the future so I’ve got all the links in one place
FWIW, I do most of my daily driving on Windows because that’s what I use at work. Hence this will be written for a Windows PC. It’s also high level because honestly, this is easy and if you’re goal is to install Kali on an rpi0w, you probably don’t need much hand holding. 😉
Materials Needed
- Raspberry Pi Zero W
