BlackArch full install on a usb 3.0

what you need:

one usb 3.0 stick with at least 100G to be able to install all your tools and personal scripts

another usb any type or DVD/CD, this is for the install

laptop or desktop computer

latest blackarch live cd iso file HERE [1]

</ul>

Why? I do pentesting and linux forensics, I need always a couple USB drives with clean and secure usb sticks with me.

why USB 3? well, the speed of course, you wont even notice you are working from a usb. you could tecnically do this on a usb 2.x

but be ready to have a slow system.

Step 1

burn the downloaded blackarch GNU/Linux live ISO into the generic USB stick or CD/DVD, this will create a live cd/usb

for you to boot into.

{{}}

sudo dd bs=512M if=file.iso of=/dev/sdX

{{}}

change X for the target drive, usb or cd/dvd letter, example /dev/sdd

Step 2

Go to your laptop or desktop and boot into the BlackArch GNU/Linux live cd.

Step 3

When booted log in with username <i>root and password <i>blackarch

right click on the desktop for a menu, find "terminals" and open one.

Step 4

Connect your USB 3.x stick into your desktop or laptop, make sure it detects it and write down the device name.

make sure you do write down the device name, if not you could delete the local HD instead of writing to the USB!!!

for the lastest version of blackarch-install, you can configure the network, that is out of scope but most likely a simple dhcp command will do.

then:

{{}}

sudo pacman -S blackarch-install-scripts

{{}}

now lets start the instalation:

{{}}

sudo blackarch-install

{{}}

from here on you can just follow the instructions on the blackarch website, when it ask for what device to do the instalation to, enter

the USB 3.x stick device, for example /dev/sdb

Just follow the instalation instructions HERE [2]they are very easy, just make sure you install

to the right device!!

note: if you running this on virtualbox later on, you prob have to run "VBoxClient-all && xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto" so the resolution auto changes when incrementing the window size.

note: more to be added, contact me for suggestions. handle = [rek2,rek2wilds,rek2gnulinux]; channel("#blackarch") on @freenode
