What You’ll NeedĪ verified copy of the appropriate ISO image of the latest Kali build image for the system you’ll be running it on: see the details on downloading official Kali Linux images. In order to do this, we first need to create a bootable USB drive which has been set up from an ISO image of Kali Linux.
It’s potentially persistent - with a bit of extra effort, you can configure your Kali Linux “live” USB drive to have persistent storage, so the data you collect is saved across reboots. It’s customizable - you can roll your own custom Kali Linux ISO image and put it onto a USB drive using the same procedures. It’s portable - you can carry Kali Linux in your pocket and have it running in minutes on an available system. It’s non-destructive - it makes no changes to the host system’s hard drive or installed OS, and to go back to normal operations, you simply remove the “Kali Live” USB drive and restart the system. In this example, we’ll have the initial kernel boot via PXE and we will obtain the kernel, initrd, and squashfs filesystem we need for this exercise from a full Kali Linux release ISO from within the “live” directory.Our favourite way, and the fastest method, for getting up and running with Kali Linux is to run it “live” from a USB drive. The initial boot process can take place over the network (via PXE) or a minimal Kali Linux USB/CD – while the remote root filesystem is a squashfs image served over HTTP via an Apache server. 
The basic premise involves using the Kali Live kernel and initrd for booting, while calling the Kali root filesystem through an HTTP URI. We realized there’s little documentation around this feature and thought we’d shed some light on it so others may enjoy this feature as well. One of these interesting use-cases includes booting instances of Kali Linux Live over HTTP, directly to RAM. Here at Offensive Security, we tend to use Kali Linux in unconventional ways – often making use of some really amazing features that Kali Linux has to offer.
