October 13, 2023, 19:25
im trying to install kali linux but headless but i cant connect to my wifi and idk how i can fix that any help?
im guessing it's wireless
make sure you enabled it in the imager with the correct details
i saw videos that they addes 2 files to enable ssh and connecting to the wifi?
putting the incorrect details is definitely possible yes
oh do you mean enabling WiFi? yes
scroll down to wherever it says WiFi in the settings icon, put your wifis password and stuff in and see how it goes.
so i did in that setting bar my wifi login and writed it and now my light on the pi is pinging all the time
which one?
the green one
do you know how to ssh?
yh it says the hostname is correct but
but what?
but there are no facts from the requested type found
what do you mean by facts?
your main pc is on windows correct?
yh
wait the green light is stopped flashing and stays on now
ok type into your terminal on your main pc ssh <username>@<ip> but replace whats within the <> with the actual stuff
the username is not rassbery pi by default
cant get in
now you need to remember your password
i never created a password
its either "pi" or "rassbery" by default, forgot which one
*raspberry sorry
permission denied
ok go into the imager and set it to something youl remember
do i need to write the data again?
yes right
res
yes
so i have the option ssh enable on and the first option is use password auth
yes
thats enabled but i cant make a password for it
and set the username to something like your name and set the hostname to something youll also remember like "my-pi"
this one?
i cant speak that launguage but i think so
alr its writing now
thats weird
im logged in but my pi isnt connected to my wifi
logged in with ssh?
yh
it is connected then
ignore the light
ok your done
alr thank u so much for helping man
so i have a new problem i cant connect with the vnc viewer
oh confusing
yh and its the correct ip and i started the server in my pi
make sure vnc is turned on
on your ssh do sudo raspi-config then go into interfaces and turn on vnc
i did
well it should work now
stil not working im getting a time out error
ok and your using the hostname for this?
The ip
also tryed with hostname aswell i used also remote desktop but still nothing
Kali headless don't support mDNS and I understand why. The only way I know is to find the IP or specify a static IP in the file cmdline.txt
Example: dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 elevator=deadline root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait ip=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Where XXX is a free IP adr. from your network
And if you want to run Kali headless, take a look at PiTail, https://www.kali.org/docs/arm/raspberry-pi-zero-w-pi-tail/
where can i find the cmdline.txt?
In the /boot folder
this is how it looks
so i would need to add ip= by myself right
Yes
alr i added the ip line with the static ip i want and im booting the pi right now
Can you crop the picture before posting it
oh yh srry
just found out i installed a wrong image...
question if i would wanna install kali linux image how would i automatic connect to the wifi and activate the ssh? a
Kali has tutorials for that!
