By Ayaan 2-24-25 Part 1/3

This part goes into flashing the Kali Linux image with Raspberry Pi Imager on a Pi Zero 2W.

1) Download Kali Linux from the right place. Do not download the Pi-Tail version.

Download Kali Linux for Raspberry Pi

2) Download Raspberry Pi Imager

3) SD Card

Please ensure your SD card is at least 16 GB and is reasonably fast and recent.

4) Flashing

Please pick the right Raspberry Pi. In this case, we are using a Pi Zero 2W. Be sure to pick the right storage and right image. When asked to apply OS customization settings, set your Wifi & region, and enable SSH. This saves a lot of time later.

5) Finishing Up

Once it is done writing, plug it into the Pi. Ideally you should have a USB keyboard and display. You're ready for the next steps!
