I bet it isn't working an a Chromebook?

[@cooldaki1684]

I think there is a way to make this work without turning of the the secure boot option by using shim-signed or something. I'm not familiar with it or what to do. I wish if he could enlighten us on that too. I mean secure boot is a security option, its not recommended to turn it off

[@ArSiddharth]

Hey David, can we run this live pendrive in my vbox and VMware

[@gsiicam]

after downloading Kali Linux make sure your image has not been tampered with, you can do this by confirming the Checksum is correct via the command line interface. Good luck

[@Deadsilenceization]

@@RealLexable it depends on architecture of the CPU (there are ARM units too, and KALI as majority of distros works on x86/64 primarily) and might be some difficulties with allowing usb boot, but in theory it's possible

[@MamoonKhan-vg2bk]

Hey Mr. David Bombal, I just wanted to drop you a massive thank you for everything you've done for me. Your KZbin channel has been a total game-changer in my life, and I can't even begin to express my gratitude. So, here's the deal: I graduated with a non-tech background, and I was completely clueless about how to break into the IT field. It was like standing at the edge of a massive jungle without a map or compass. I knew I wanted to dive into IT, but I had zero idea where to start. Then, out of the blue, your videos popped up in my KZbin recommendations. I started watching, and it was like a whole new world opened up. Your videos weren't just informative; they were fun, easy to follow, and honestly, they made tech stuff seem less intimidating. I became a regular on your channel, binge-watching your tutorials and soaking up your knowledge like a sponge. Your teaching style, the way you broke down complex topics, and your real-world examples - it all just clicked with me. Inspired by your content, I decided to take the plunge and go for the CCNA certification. Trust me, it seemed like a monumental challenge at first, but your guidance made it feel doable. Your study tips, practical demos, and enthusiasm for networking turned what seemed daunting into something exciting. Fast forward a bit, and guess what? I landed a job in IT! I can't believe I'm saying this, but it's all thanks to you, Mr. Bombal. Your channel not only armed me with the technical skills I needed but also gave me the confidence to chase my IT dreams. I want you to know that your dedication to helping newcomers like me is beyond admirable. You're not just a teacher; you're a mentor and an inspiration. Your impact on my life has been huge, and I'll forever be indebted to you. So, once again, thanks a million, Mr. Bombal, for being the guiding star on my IT journey. Your generosity in sharing your knowledge has changed my life, and I can only hope to pay it forward and inspire others, just like you've inspired me. With loads of appreciation, M. Khan

[@aminygn4275]

that persistence part very important guys, thank Davidbombal

[@iblackfeathers]

multiboot with persistence would be a good topic. there are tools like ventoy which let you boot various isos and utils in one usb drive. it gets into the weeds when persistency is involved. but one portable drive to rule them all, even with booting in macs -intel & m chips, uefi & legacy, has always been challenging.

[@steelfalconx2000]

I was just wondering if this would work on ventoy

[@tactileslut]

Ventoy persistence does not work with Knoppix. Hacking around that has proven slow and mucky. Haven't tried Kali yet.

[@veerbhogyavasundhra6056]

I have tried this it becomes a mess I stick to ventoy to keep and standard install multiple OS images in my pendrive . That's it

[@sirlezard670]

LiveUSB multiboot can be done with stuff like Yumi but the persistence option doesn't seem to work for the multiboot so it sucks... also I don't really like Ventoy and all the rage around it.

[@samiramir91samor78]

Thank you David

[@clarencemuljadi6871]

Hi David, This method is no longer working properly with the recent release of 2023.3 Kali Live image. The system boots to a GNU Grub interface instead, and it is only fixed with having persistence disabled in Rufus when flashing the ISO. Please update accordingly to guide beginners like me who are not comfortable with creating manual persistence partitions in Kali! Thank you always David.

[@jmr]

I'm have Kali working on what looks like a Gameboy. That makes it look innocent like I'm playing a game.The challenging part is making Kali usable with Gameboy controls. I have also connected my Flipper Zero to it as a keyboard and mouse as a proof of concept. That let's me run preprogrammed scripts from the Flipper interface.

[@Stafylocok]

Hello David, Thanks for the video, it comes neatly at a great timing :) You say around 2min that you set the persistent partition about half of the total size of the usb flashdrive. What happens of the rest? Do you choose to use half because you intend on partitioning the other half to use as a normal storage? Cheers!

[@alvianfajar9570]

the rest of the storage that is not in set on persistence will be available as normal partition in windows file explorer

[@tions706]

tx david ❤

[@jfjaxn2121]

Most of the components of kali live are read only and not writable so they can't be updated unless you create a persistent partition to save new data. But even persistence doesn't upgrade kernel version. The better option is to install kali on a 256GB USB. Kali installation requires atleast 25GB partition including swap partition.
