Burning Kali in macOS High Sierra!
To my future self: this is how you can ‘burn’ an ISO file into a flashdrive, so that it’s bootable!
hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o destination.img kali-linux-2017.2-amd64.iso
diskutil list
diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk2 1 "Free Space" "unused" "100%"
sudo dd if=destination.img.dmg of=/dev/disk2 bs=1m
diskutil eject /dev/disk2
diskutil list
diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk2 1 "Free Space" "unused" "100%"
sudo dd if=destination.img.dmg of=/dev/disk2 bs=1m
diskutil eject /dev/disk2
macOS: Format as FAT32
Find the device path:
diskutil list
Format as FAT32:
sudo diskutil eraseDisk FAT32 NAME MBRFormat /dev/disk2
Thanks Apple, for having FAT32 as an option in the Disk Utility app. It’s so much nicer than having to remember a CLI command.</sarcasm>
Disabling Num Lock on startup (or why Windows makes me sick)
– Launch Regedit
– HKEY_USERS\Default\Control Panel\Keyboard
– Set InitialKeyboardIndicators to Zero
Now, next time you boot… your beautiful small keyboard won’t have Num Lock enabled by default, AND you should be able to enter your password without further issues.
