Hi.
Ive recently (about three hours ago) started to use my new USB Armory, with a kali linux image. ive followed this (https://github.com/inversepath/usbarmory/wiki/Host-communication) guide to set up my network for ssh-ing into it. Ive taken into account that kali uses 10.42.0.3 as default (10.42.0.1 as gateway). Following the guide worked fine, but i can neither ping nor ssh 10.42.0.3. I have no idea whats wrong or missing. I suspect Kali changed their IP or credentials since version 1.1.0, i am using 2.1.2.
The Status light seems to be fine, so the USB Armory is active.
I am using ArchLinux, but that should not matter that much.

I am not very good with networks, so if you know what ive been doing wrong, please try and explain it like im five. ;-)

Are you able to SSH to your Kali instance but the credentials are incorrect or does the SSH timeout?

Can you provide details on how you configured your network interface (e.g. output of ifconfig <name of your usb interface>)?

Thanks

I downloaded the Kali image, mounted it and checked their network configuration. They now revert back to the USB armory default address that we are also using:

$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

allow-hotplug usb0
iface usb0 inet static
address 10.0.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.0.0.2

This should help you out. I will update our wiki accordingly.

Cheers
