Pendrive with 6GB or more.
Just a good Graphic card not the best or old.
Just a good Graphic card not the best or old.
First! Downloads {Just Click its a Direct Links}~
Kali Linux 2017.1 (64 bit) |Or| Kali Linux 2017.1 (32 bit)
MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition 10.2
Universal USB Installer 1.9.7.8

1. Choose Your Pen-drive that 0.75/1 will be specifically on Desk 2 if you have only 1 Disk in your PC
2. then click Move/Resize Partition in the top left of the window
Whatever your partition size don't be so generous or so stingy
(this drive will be just for boot not for performance or more capacity if you want more performance then you need a good GPU and if more capacity then you need a larger pen-drive) get it?
3. Just type 3-5 GB in the Partition Size
4. Click Ok
Everytime you boot your kali linux it saves the data into your pen drive already but as temporary memory and like formatting your drive each time you boot so we need to move this memory directory into other partition where it can be secure without booting on it
MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition 10.2
Universal USB Installer 1.9.7.8
Second! Preparing to burn Kali Iso Image on your pendrive~
I prefer to put the kali image in a good place where i can found it again if a problem or technically mistake happened while you using your kali system its up to you!
Open MiniTool Partition Wizard Setup
Install it normally like any other software or program ~ Wait! don't tell me you need to know how :O
Install it normally like any other software or program ~ Wait! don't tell me you need to know how :O
By the way we're not here to wasting time
Plug-in your pen drive ~ (if there's a problem in your "PC" like doesn't show it, i will post it later how fix)
Run Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.7.8.exe as Adminstrator
1. Choose Kali linux from that Combo Box in Step 1
2. Select your Kali Iso image from this Text Box in the middle (in this pic, its my location) in Step 2
2. Select your Kali Iso image from this Text Box in the middle (in this pic, its my location) in Step 2
3. Select your pen-drive that you plugged in at the last Combo Box in Step 3
4. Check "Fat32 Format Drive (Erases Content)" box and Click Create
All will be like this image except of course the locations or maybe 0.5/50%, what do you think? nothing impossible!
will pop-up an Warning Message but just ignoring it if you did that already like me and don't make
like select wrong image or select wrong drive partition not your pen-drive thay may mess up your system
now it will take just minutes to finish the unzipping into your pen-drive and burn the image.
Third! Make an pen-drive partition to save your data
Open the installed software "MiniTool Partition Wizard" then click >> Launch Application

After opening our software it will show up this window
2. then click Move/Resize Partition in the top left of the window
Whatever your partition size don't be so generous or so stingy
(this drive will be just for boot not for performance or more capacity if you want more performance then you need a good GPU and if more capacity then you need a larger pen-drive) get it?
3. Just type 3-5 GB in the Partition Size
4. Click Ok
Then an Unallocated space will show up like this
5. Click on this Unallocated Space and choose Create Partition on the top left
an Warning message will pop up saying that it can't be using in Windows or even boot by the way just ignore it cause that's exactly what we want! Click Yes
Now Copy my settings and leave the rest
Partition Label: persistence
Create As: Primary
File System: Ext4 (That what linux systems accept to be partitions and no need for drive letters)
Cluster Size: Default
All settings will be finally like that
Click Ok
Final Step is to close the pen drive explorer if opened then Click Apply at the top left then Yes
Now it will take much time to finish depends on your processor
after finished the third stage now don't remove your pen drive from your Pc
Fourth! Configure Kali Linux to our persistence partition
after finished the third stage now don't remove your pen drive from your Pc
but just restart and spam F12 every 0.5s
(of course it has a specific time to press but i really don't know what's your pc model so just spamming when you see your screen showing anything in front of you)
Then Choose USB Storage Device ~ maybe it named something different in your PC model but it contains USB in the name (if doesn't show up just restart your pc and try different socket)
I think we entered kali linux boot menu now
1. Choose Live USB Persistence
Wait for kali to finish loading from usb
Wait for kali to finish loading from usb
then Create a new folder through right click on desktop and choose Create New Folder
why we created this?
answer: to test does that folder will stay after finishing this tutorial or not
Now
2. Click Applications at the top left then find Terminal and choose it
3. Type this Commands
mkdir -p /mnt/UUI
(Making directory called UUI in location /mnt/)
mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/UUI
(Attaching the persistence partition that called sdb2 that we made into that directory /mnt/UUI)
Fast Q&A
How you knew that sdb2 is our persistence partition that we created?
answer: cause sdb is for usb drivers and our driver has two partition (first 1 has kali image to boot and second one is empty for persistence) so it became sdb2
echo "/ union" >> /mnt/UUI/persistence.conf
(Writes "/ union" that means all directories and components exist into >> /mnt/UUI/persistence.conf that means save all there)
umount /dev/sdb2 && reboot
(detaches our partition and reboot the system)
Now After rebooting you can see your folder is stayed up without any problem!
if any problem happened try to add sudo before each command (means run the command as root user) again and make sure that your persistence partition is exist in the MiniTool software
Note
Everytime you boot your kali linux it saves the data into your pen drive already but as temporary memory and like formatting your drive each time you boot so we need to move this memory directory into other partition where it can be secure without booting on it
any problem happened just lemme know with some details
Thanks for follow my instructions as my first show!
