Kali Linux 2020.1a on Raspberry Pi 4

This is actually Kali Linux 2020.1a

Alright! I finally made time on the weekend to download latest Kali Linux 2020.1a image and install it on my Raspberry Pi 4.

I’m telling you, RPi4 is fast!

So far I only got the basics done:

• created kali user
• added it to kali-trusted group (for sudo)
• setup wired network connection (with static IP)
• regerated SSH host keys (you must remove existing ones in /etc/ssh/ directory)
• synchronised time
• updated OS packages (500+ updates) - probably because 2020.1a was released in early March

INTERESTING: there’s some weird resolution right now - need to find out how to get HiDPI resolution working, Raspberry Pi 4 is meant to support 4K.

Kali Linux 2020.2 is just around the corner - their release page suggestes “a Tuesday in May” which leaves 3 more Tuesdays when it may happen.
