Kali-ARM Build-Scripts
Kali Linux ARM build-scripts.
These are the same build scripts that we use to generate the pre-generated official Kali Linux ARM images images, found here: https://www.kali.org/get-kali/
There are additional scripts included in this repository, supporting more devices, but these will need to be built in order for them to be used.
For more information, please see: https://www.kali.org/docs/arm/
Building
- These scripts are tested on Kali Linux x64 and x86 installations only (We recommend x64)
- Make sure you run the
./common.d/build-deps.shscript before trying to build an image, as this installs all required dependencies - You will need at least 8GB of RAM or use SWAP file
An example workflow to build a Raspberry Pi 4 Kali Linux image would look like:
cd ~/
git clone https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/build-scripts/kali-arm
cd ~/kali-arm/
sudo ./common.d/build-deps.sh
sudo ./rpi.sh
- Depending on your system hardware & network connectivity, will depend on how long it will take to build
- On x64 systems, after the script finishes running, you will have an image files located in
~/kali-arm/images/calledkali-linux-2021.3-rpi-armhf.img.xz - On x86 systems, as they do not have enough RAM to compress the image, after the script finishes running, you will have an image file located in
~/kali-arm/images/calledkali-linux-2021.3-rpi-armhf.img- Should you want to try and shrink the file to make it easier to distribute, you will need to use your own preferred compression.

Custom Values
An example of using a custom local LAN mirror:
$ echo 'mirror="http://192.168.1.100/kali"' > ./common.d/builder.txt
