Kali Linux Mobile Os
Rene Seiler
My phone storage(8gb) has larger capacity than my sd card(4gb). But all the tutorials I found is about installing kali on an sd card. I don't know how to direct the installation path to my phone storage. I tried /storage/sdcard1/linux.img but when I start installing it, I always get the error "Making file disk image.. /fail"
It might obviously be because of not enough free space. It doesn't really rquire that much. Try with less, are you sure you have at least 4 gbs free? The Bootstrap minimal installation shouldn't require that much.
Checked it myself: with metasploit and minor tools installed it takes 66% of the 4000 mbs I allocated. You can try with less, however make sure that once the installation starts, it will tell you that there's no more space once it is filled up. So the installation could start, but the space might not be enough. I'd suggest you to try with 3000 mbs, to make sure you have free space for additional tools you'll install. 2400/500 should be the minimum.
Has anyone managed to fix the issue with the extractor not being found ? I seem to be having the same problem. After mounting the partition and installing the Debian base distribution it says "E: The selected extractor cannot be found: ar". Iv followed a few tutorials but the error keeps coming up. I'm using a rooted Samsung S4 running 5.0.1. I have busybox installed successfully. I have 8GB of space available on internal storage and an empty 4GB SD card. The only thing I can see that is different when I go to the distribution suite the only option I have are sana and Kali rolling. Not sure if that would have an impact. Any ideas ?
Being a kali linux user, this very topic caught my eye when I read the tweet by Nicolas Ibrahim saying that he was able to install kali linux on his android phone using limbo PC emulator, unrooted. So I looked on the web to find if there is any write up about the same and having found nothing elaborate and useful, I accomplished it myself and here it is, the detailed walk-through for your perusal. Have fun folks!
The very first step to this project is to have an Android phone running OS 4.1 +, although I have read that android 2.1+ is sufficient, I have used a Samsung Note 3 with the latest kitkat OS. It does not need to be rooted. Yes you heard me right, not root required.
Moving on, we have to remember that the majority of the android phones available now in the market are not 64 bit supportive they are all meant for 32 bit OS. hence, the OS needs to be 32 bit. period.
We begin by downloading the appropriate ISO image from the official kali linux website which you can find here- please make sure you download the 32 bit version which states Kali Linux 1.0.6 32 Bit Mini ISO as shown below-
Next, we need a PC emulator for Android and we choose to install the limbo PC emulator, it is interesting to note that it has been removed from Google play store so you will have to search for other alternatives like sourceforge. Once downloaded and installed on your mobile device, you are ready for the real deal.
Limbo does not need any root permissions and the path for HDD A will usually point to the *.qcow2 file in a sub folder in the primary limbo directory. Looks like this storage/emulated/0/limbo/machines/foldername/*.qcow2
Qmobile Noir A30 has 256MB RAM and a robust processor, yes you can install it however, performance will be an issue so make sure you reserve ample space for SWAP.
Yes you can also install kali linux on a PC with 512MB RAM provided it is atleast an i386 processor.
No, for the most part the phone doesnt need to be connected to the computer. It depends on how you transfer images to the phone, You might need connect the mobile to a PC to copy the OS image onto it.
Thank you for the fast reply.
If i allocate more ram there is the same error. But i dont have the 32x mini ISO because it not available to download any more. (or i dont find it) Can this cause the error? If yes, is there a way to download the Kali Linux 32x mini ISO?
Same error, i dont have the mini iso too and it dont work with the normal iso i think. @theinfosecguru can you upload or send a url to download the mini iso please? this would be really really nice (for us and the next who visit this blog) ?
please help for bad archive mirror
when i follow up the instruction which you provided then it showing bad mirror archive and continue. What should I have do to escape out from this problem.
