Hackers’ Operating System Kali Linux Released for Raspberry Pi 4

Offensive Security has released an official version of Kali
Linux for Raspberry Pi 4—the most powerful version of the compact
computer board yet that was released just two weeks ago with the
full 4GB of RAM at low cost and easy accessibility.

Based on Debian, Kali Linux has always been the number one
operating system for ethical hackers and penetration testers, and
Raspberry Pi always has a gold standard for inexpensive
single-board computing, designed to let people experiment with
building software and hardware.

Due to the popularity of Kali Linux on previous versions of
Raspberry Pi, Offensive Security says that the developers want to
get Kali supported on the latest version of the Pi right away.

Now with the release of Raspberry Pi 4, Offensive Security is
really excited to launch^[1] a new build of Kali
Linux that takes advantage of everything the Raspberry Pi 4 has to
offer including:

• A more powerful CPU
• Options for 1, 2, or 4GB of RAM
• USB-C power supply
• USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports
• Full-throughput Gigabit ethernet
• 2 micro HDMI ports

Offensive Security also notes that the penetration testing distro
for the Raspberry Pi 4 also supports an onboard Wi-Fi monitor mode
and frame injection support.
Currently, Kali Linux for Raspberry Pi 4 is only available in a
32-bit variant, though the developers at Offensive Security
promised to release a 64-bit version in the near future.

You can download the 32-bit version of Kali Linux for the
Raspberry Pi 4 from the Kali ARM download
page^[2].

The installation instructions for Kali Linux for the Raspberry
Pi 4 are the same as for the Raspberry Pi2. You’ll find full
instructions here^[3].

Enjoy Kali Linux for the Raspberry Pi 4 and let us know how you
feel about this launch.
