Kali Peristent USB

[Coolzero]

Hello, I have a Live USB stick as here http://de.docs.kali.org/installation...usb-persistenz with

dd if = kali-linux-1.0.9a-amd64.iso of = / dev / sdb bs = 1M

created and this would then make peristent I've created a new partition on the stick and there was the

persistence.conf

new to this content:

size = 2,93gb
readBytes _ <<(you -bcm kali-linux-1.0.9a-amd64.iso | tail -1); echo $ bytes
parted / dev / sdb mkpart primary $ $ size bytes
mkfs.ext3 -L persistence / dev / sdb3
e2label / dev / sdb3 persistence
mkdir -p / mnt / my_usb
mount / dev / sdb3 / mnt / my_usb
echo "/ union"> /mnt/my_usb/persistence.conf
umount / dev / sdb3

However, the stick is not perestent, I start on the Grub menu Kali Peristent, but if I tell the system then neustarte are gone all changes.

What could be wrong?

Thank You

We made a persistent usb with kali-linux-1.1.0-i386 two(2) days ago that worked fine using the procedures outlined in the thread referenced below. It saved a text file between reboots and saved the files when we updated it.

We used a hardrive install of kali-linux to work on the flash drive.

If you have the usb functioning as a live usb and just want to get your persistence functioning start at the gparted line.

Hi,
thanks for the reply, I will try it as described in the link.

How did you hardrive installation on the USB stick made?

I have a Ubuntu VM running on where I almost always make the stick and then the perestence

Hi,
I now like thishttps://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?22166-Making-a-Persistent-usb-flash-drive-with-kali-linux-1-08&highlight=persistent+1.08 described done the following:

The current kali-linux-1.1.0a-amd64.iso downloaded and written with Win32DiskImager Windows on the stick.............


2. Run up a kali or Backtrack operating system with gparted installed. You cannot use the usb with kali-linux 1.08 on it as it will be locked during these operations, therefore a separate operating system must act on the usb flash drive.

3. Insert the usb with kali-linux 1.08 installed in the computer running a linux distro with gparted

4. Type gparted /dev/sdd

5. You will find /dev/sdd1
/dev/sdd2
unallocated area

6. Right Click within the unallocated section, then select new from the drop-down menu that appears.

7. Create a Primary Partition, Choose ext 4 as the file system, and label the partition with the word:

persistence

8. Click on "Add" then "Apply" and let the computer format the partition in ext 4 with the label persistence.

9. When the process is completed open up a terminal window and enter the following:


For unencrypted

mkdir -p /mnt/my_usb
mount /dev/sdd3 /mnt/my_usb
echo "/ union" > /mnt/my_usb/persistence.conf
umount /dev/sdd3

10. Shut down and reboot from the usb flash drive with kali-linux-1.1.0a-amd64.iso installed When the kali-linux main menu appears select Live USB Persistence

It seems now to be functioning, thanks for the help.

I would just like, several linux live distro on the stick to have the stick as a multi-system drive, ie, it is still possible?
And how?

Now i change to an encrypted partition

cryptsetup --verbose --verify-passphrase luksFormat /dev/sdd3
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdd3 my_usb
mkfs.ext4 -L persistence /dev/mapper/my_usb
e2label /dev/mapper/my_usb persistence
mkdir -p /mnt/my_usb
mount /dev/mapper/my_usb /mnt/my_usb
echo "/ union" > /mnt/my_usb/persistence.conf
umount /dev/mapper/my_usb
cryptsetup luksClose /dev/mapper/my_usb

========End of encrypted===========


Now, i only want to make a Multiboot Stick with Kali Perestence, how can i do that?

Thank you
