The official process / recipe for creating a boot-able Kali-Linux USB drive on Mac seems straightforward; However, I'm finding that there isn't much help when getting stuck on steps involved in it.



For instance, at the Kali-Docs Official Documentation under "Making a Kali Bootable USB Drive" --the link of which is https://docs.kali.org/downloading/kali-linux-live-usb-install," the step "sudo dd if=kali-linux-2017.1-amd64.iso of=/dev/disk6 bs=1m" fails to provide output that looks like this:



good output example



The output I get is:



faulty output example



I'm not sure why nothing gets written to the USB drive.



I'm thinking maybe the USB isn't formatted correctly? After a few searches (there's a lack of resources on this subject), I read that it's recommended to format using FAT32 but then also read somewhere else that formatting shouldn't matter.



Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

  • When you run the sudo dd... command, are you cd'd into the directory that contains the kali-linux-2017.1-amd64.iso file? Or maybe the current ISO image has "2019.<something>" in its name instead of "2017.1" and you should update the command to match the actual name of the ISO image file you're using?

  • I did update it from 2017 to 2019 and added the full path as it wouldn't work without the full path.
