Generate an Updated Kali ISO
Kali Linux allows you to generate updated ISOs of Kali using Debian live-build scripts on the fly. The easiest way to generate these images is from within a pre existing Kali Linux environment.
You will first need to install the live-build
and cdebootstrap
packages:
kali@kali:~$ sudo apt update
kali@kali:~$ sudo apt install -y git live-build cdebootstrap
Next, we clone the Kali cdimage
Git repository as follows:
kali@kali:~$ git clone git://gitlab.com/kalilinux/build-scripts/live-build-config.git
Now you can change to the live
directory under cdimage.kali.org
and build your ISO:
kali@kali:~$ cd live-build-config/
kali@kali:~$ lb clean --purge
kali@kali:~$ lb config
kali@kali:~$ lb build
The live build scripts allow for complete customization of Kali Linux images. For more information about Kali live build scripts, check out our Kali customization page.
