Instead, they set it up so that if your guest is Mac or Windows-based, it will automatically do an EFI boot for you. The company seems to think that Mac users don’t need extensive options, like a checkbox for EFI booting. That seemed like a great idea but the Fusion product has been in flux for awhile, and seems to get “special” treatment from VMware. However, wouldn’t it be great if you could use a product like VMware Fusion (which is the industry-leading product and does a fabulous job running every other OS on our Macs already) to boot and test your live USBs? No rebooting.

You could, under certain circumstances, reboot your Mac and boot from the USB, but that can be a real hassle. However, the process of testing your USB install can be a bit of a pain, especially if you’re a Mac user. Normally stored on a USB drive, these installations put the power of Kali Linux in your pocket, ready to launch whenever you need it.īuilding Kali live USB installations is pretty straightforward, whether you’re going for plain installation, building in persistence so you can store files, going fully-encrypted (even arming a self-destruct passphrase), or customizing and building your own tailored install.

One of the fun, and often necessary, features of Kali Linux is the ability to create really killer, completely customized live-boot installations.
