Create a persistent write area on USB-booted Kali Linux.

Create a permanent storage area on Kali Linux booted from a USB stick. It is convenient to add updates and packages, save changed settings, save survey progress and results, etc. (Although it may not start after the update, ...)

Get Kali Linux

This time, we use Kali Linux 64-Bit (Live) 2020.1b
Secure boot must be disabled when booting from a USB stick
USB boot USB memory was created on Mac For windows, write the ISO image to the USB memory as Rufus or Linux Live USB CREATOR. Please replace with the operation in

Write a Kali Linux ISO image to a USB stick

This time, we will make a bootable USB memory for Kali Linux using the USB memory that was left with Ubuntu in the past.
The target USB memory is recognized as / dev / disk4.
Please obtain the ISO image of Kali Linux in advance.

Create a storage area on the Kali Linux LIVE USB memory

Start Kali Linux from the USB memory and operate it.
The storage area uses the entire free space of the USB memory.
The storage area is not encrypted.

Check partition configuration

This is an example when Kali Linux is started on a computer with Windows installed.
Specify the device name of the USB memory booted from the capacity, Disk model, and partition configuration. This time, / dev / sdb is applicable.

Create partition

Officially, there was a way to use parted, but I found it difficult, so I used fdisk.

root@kali:/home/kali# fdisk /dev/sdb

Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.34).                                        
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.        
Be careful before using the write command.

Format & with label

Create a file system labeled persistence. The official procedure was to create the file system and label it separately, Since Label was specified when creating the file system, the procedure was as follows.

Label confirmation (confirm that it is persistence)

root@kali:/home/kali# echo "/ union" > /mnt/my_usb/persistence.conf

root@kali:/home/kali#

Reboot

When using the storage area, from ** "Kali Linux Boot Menu" ** when booting from USB ** Select "Live system (persistence, check kali.org/prst)" **.

Japanese input support

After creating the storage area, restart Kali Linux before executing.

ibus-anthy installation

kali@kali:~$ sudo apt install ibus-anthy

IBus Input Method settings

This is a GUI setting. I intend to represent the menu hierarchy. .. ..

Settings -> IBus Preferences
 Input Method
  Add Japanese Anthy

Select the added Japanese Anthy and click Preferences
Setup-IBus-Anthy
 Typing Method
   Keyboard Layout
Change to jp

Right-click the Input method icon and execute restart Switching between Japanese input and direct input is done in half-width / full-width.

I also made the following settings, but they may not be necessary.

Keyboard
 Add Japanese(OADG 109A)
 move up Japanese Layout to first

TIME ZONE setting

Since TIMEZONE is UTC, I changed it to Asia / Tokyo. But setting RTC in local TZ to yes makes me angry. Moreover, it doesn't work as expected.

Since some servers are operating with UTC settings immediately after installation, it may be better to recognize that the TIMEZONE is out of sync without changing the settings.

root@kali:/home/kali# timedatectl set-timezone Asia/Tokyo
root@kali:/home/kali# timedatectl set-local-rtc 1
root@kali:/home/kali# timedatectl 
               Local time: Thu 2020-03-26 22:57:38 JST

                Time zone: Asia/Tokyo (JST, +0900)
System clock synchronized: no
              NTP service: inactive
          RTC in local TZ: yes

Warning: The system is configured to read the RTC time in the local time zone.
         This mode cannot be fully supported. It will create various problems
         with time zone changes and daylight saving time adjustments. The RTC
         time is never updated, it relies on external facilities to maintain it.
         If at all possible, use RTC in UTC by calling
         'timedatectl set-local-rtc 0'.
