Installation

1. Flash the Image

First, download the latest release of the custom image from RoganDawes/P4wnP1_aloa.

This guide was created with v0.1.1-beta. The image is provided in .img.xz format, so it needs to be decompressed first:

$ xz -d ~/Downloads/kali-linux-v0.1.1-beta-rpi0w-nexmon-p4wnp1-aloa.img.xz

Once decompressed, the image can be written to the MicroSD card. Insert the card and identify its device name:

$ lsblk

The device will likely appear as something like /dev/sdX.

Warning

Double-check the device name before proceeding — writing to the wrong device will corrupt that drive!

Now write the image:

$ dd if=<path-to-img> of=<name-of-drive> bs=4M status=progress conv=fsync

Once the process is complete, unmount and remove the SD card, insert it into the Pi, and power it on.
