There is also MultibootUSB that supports persistence mode, according to its presentation page. I don't know why, and if it can be hacked in some way, I would be curious to know!
#Making a persistant kali linux usb iso
You told us that you want a multiboot, Ubuntu & Kali, so maybe someones tried?įor use from Windows, Multisystem is good to manage the persistence mode, as it allows you to do so in a very easy way, from the moment you create the USB medium, but the problem is that you can have only one persistent storage for all the ISO you added. I think you can use Sardu, but I don't know if the persistence mode works well with all the ISO. I won't use Yumi for persistence, unless you want to make the steps mentioned in the link I've pasted. You'll have to read the explanation, but in short: Add a new ext4 partition for persistence. It's a way to add persistence to Kali, and not being limited by the amount of mb you want to add.įor Ubuntu, a user answered concerning an USB created with Unetbootin, but it should also works with YUMI, as it's not related to the software:Ĭan I convert a live Ubuntu USB to one with persistent memory? Here you have an answer from Alex (I didn't try), but be careful with editing partition with Gparted or other tool, when you don't want to blank them:Īlex suggests to create a partition labeled with the keyword "persistence" (refer to its answer for more details or here), it works with Kali, but I don't know if it works with Ubuntu. This question has been answered several times already here: It's a space that you add to your USB, at the same time you create it, and this space will be used to save changes made on it. Stick, disk, CD?įor this problem, they invented the "persistence" mode. You didn't tell us what kind of USB media you had. When I say "live USB": I talk for USB stick, and USB disks, for CD, obviously it depends if they are R (read-only, able to be written only once) or RW. It means that you cannot change anything to your live USB. persistence is for people not willing to actually have kali on their main drive in fear of maybe downloading something or just in general fucking it up. When you make a live USB, it's often in read-only mode.
