Kali Linux on Android Note 3 Guide

This may have been posted some where in the past but I have been searching for some time and found nothing but others looking for this information. So I though I would document what I did to get everything up and running on my note 3 and share it here.
Requirements
Rooted Note 3
Recommended
Bluetooth keyboard and mouse
From a PC
1. Download kali from the LOA website kalilinux.FULL.ext4.20131031 (5.8 GB Uncompressed) (2.0GB Download)
2. Once the download is complete extract the contents of the folder so you have a folder named “kali” then an .img and .md5 file in it then copy that to the Note 3 device storage root. I strongly recommend using USB 3.0.
On the Note 3
1. First Download Linux on Android It might be called Complete Linux Installer now
2. Then Download androidVNC and Terminal Emulator
3. Download the modified bootscript.sh from attchments and extract
4. Copy to /data/data/com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid/files/bootscript.sh
5. Start Linux on Android
6. Swipe from the left of the screen to the right and open the menu
7. Select “Launch”
8. Using the drop down box select “Kali”
9. Press the “Settings” button on the top right
10. Select “Edit”
11. On the line that says “Image” click the “…” button
12. Select the img file you copied to the storage in the kali folder
13. Click the “Save Changes” button
14. Then you are ready to click the “Start Linux” button
15. There will be a question if you want to check the img with the MD5 I would go ahead and type “y” and do this step to verify your download was not messed up.
16. Then it will ask you to create a new password. Type it in. And again. Make it 6 char alpha numeric.
17. If all is good it will ask if you would like to start vnc and ssh servers. Select yes to both.
18. Next it will ask you if you would like to save as default settings. I would select yes.
19. After things finish loading and you have a prompt. We will have to configure ssh
20. Type “ssh-keygen –R localhost”
21. Then you will be able to connect to the linux shell via ssh
22. Type "ssh localhost"
23. It will ask you if you want to add localhost to the list of allowed hosts
24. Type "yes" then press enter
25. Type in your password
26. Once connected to the emulator you will need to setup the VNC password
27. Type "vncpasswd" then press enter
28. Type your password in. And again. I would use the same 6 char password from before
29. Then you are ready to connect to the desktop
30. Open androidVNC from them the main menu leaving the terminal running in the background
31. Create a new connection from the dropbox
32. Name it kalilinux
33. Fill in the password you created
34. Use localhost for the address and the default port
35. Select 24-bit color (4 bpp) for the color format
36. Click connect...

Great guide. My device isn't rooted (yet) but this makes me really start considering a root in near future. THIS^ is a the best reason why we need knox free devices.
Damn you Sammy with your Knox mumbo jumbo! I should start looking for an older FW/rootable SGN3....

This will not trigger the Knox bit it is running in an emulator on top of android. there are a couple of ways to root without tripping the Knox bit. And this does not need a custom rom or kernel.

Does it really work for you? I wasted almost a full day trying to get linux to run on my note 3 yesterday, I even began suspecting kitkat prohibits running linux...
On a side note, is there some smaller distro? 5+ gigs is an awful lot, I only need GCC and a few static libraries on my image...

good guide! Thanks!

Does it support packet injection out the box, or are you awaiting the modded driver as well?

not by default i could not start monitor mode on the adapter but you can use an external wifi adapter as long as you provide external power via usb splitter
this guide should work with other distors just download one to your likeing from the linux on android site

I don't think there will be a driver, but let's hope and pray... Maybe a developer take some time to port the driver for the bcm 4339 chipset to get monitor mode working .
For informations about development status for the driver you can follow my link

Loop device error
My device also has that loop error.
I think that this has something to do with the kernel...
Here is my kernel version:

Can anyone confirm that this is the kernel issue?
P.S. here are the instructions for setting up Kali on Galaxy S4 with Linux Deploy app (I'll try install it using these methods...):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400638
EDIT:
I had no luck installing it with Linux Deploy. It just fails... It says it cannot find the directory that actually exist... xD
P.S. i think this is a kernel issue according to this (and other posts I found):

You can find custom kernels and ROMs here:

I heard that the LEAN kernel has "loop devices" setting enabled.
Also, you can modify your current kernel. Instructions here:

Is there a easier method for enabling loop devices?

access
how can I access all kali files and folders when I usee explorer root is my sd card root and I can't see a single kali file

I tried your method and still received the same errors.
I have a rooted note 3 (I think I used the chainfire method) the device is still pretty new to me.
First it won't create the loop255
I've manged to get around that by making the loop255 device myself in terminal with the play store version of bbox (for some reason there seems to be an issue with the installer calling it's own busybox)
But then it (that is the loop device) won't mount, I'm over my head with that stuff so I haven't been able to work around this.
Some guidance would be much appreciated.
On a side note I got linux running on my old LG Motion with linux deploy and it works like a dream but for some reason there are no programs on it! I've found this odd but there are (or at least I cant find them) none of the preloaded hacking programs that are the entire point of the kali project. It's possible I just didn't find them yet but it's so hard to work with a desktop OS on a 320x480 screen, that's why I'm trying to get it on my note! I'm in love with this new 1080x1900 res!

I ran up against the same problem and the only way I could get around it was to flash with a "permissive" ROM.
Device: Galaxy Note 3 N9005 running stock Android 4.4.2 (KitKat).
Main steps I followed were:
(1) Rooted the phone using the excellent Towelroot method;
(2) Downloaded and deployed the various files mentioned in the Kali install guide in this thread (Kali image, bootscript, busybox, etc.);
(3) Flashed a bootloader. I used Mobile Odin (from Play Store) to install the latest CWM bootloader;
(4) Downloaded and flashed the Omega V21 ROM using the CWM bootloader. I opted for "no wipe" and it seems to have worked OK.
(5) Used the Complete Linux Installer app (Play Store) to load and run the Kali image;
(6) Fixed some permissions problems with the rooted version of the FX file explorer app (Play Store);
(7) Accessed Linux using the RealVNC app (Play Store) rather than the recommended android-vnc-viewer.
Found the former worked better for me;
Of course, the ROM flash voided my warranty, but that's not an issue for me.
Hope this helps,
Ronan

As I understand it , you need to flash a permissive kernel to make this work properly.
Im on 4.4.2 with knox 0x0 and really dont want to set it to 0x1.
I managed to get linux to install but its limited in what you can do with it.
Xposed didnt set mine to permissive , neither did the playstore app .
If anyone knows of a way to set a stock kernel to permissive on a rooted device plz pm me.

I set up a Debian chroot on my CM11 Note 3 and have been using it for a long time with great success. Here's a tip, don't bother with the loopback-mounted images, it's pointless on a phone with a datamedia partition layout (where /data and /sdcard are the same partition, which the Note 3 is). Instead, just dump the root filesystem directly into the /data directory in a folder, i.e. /data/debian (or /data/arch, /data/ubuntu, /data/kali, etc). This way you don't have to have loopback device support in your kernel, you can install as much crap as you want and not have to resize your image/partition, and you can delete crap you don't want to free up space for Android apps or user storage because all of them share the same space.
Another tip, instead of VNC server which is not accelerated and pretty crap overall, use XServer XSDL. This implements an X-server at the Android app level so it can take advantage of some acceleration (not 3D but possibly 2D) and is drawing with native Android surfaces rather than rendering into a VNC buffer and such. To use it, simply run a command such as:
Code:
# env 127.0.0.1:0 mate-session
from a chroot terminal. This particular one will open a MATE desktop session in XServer XSDL (make sure you either open the app right before or right after running the command, leave it too long and it times out). There's also a libandroid_shmem.so or something library you can use to speed up the chroot->xserver memory performance. Best thing is you can configure the touchscreen to act as a trackpad like on a laptop, then use the left and right (up and down, but landscape) volume keys as left and right click.
On CM11 you can even write a script and add it to /data/local/userinit.sh to automatically start the chroot (bind mount all the devices and set up networking) and even start services if you want. I have mine automatically fire up a samba server and an SSH server on boot so I can access files remotely as well as remote in and use my Note 3 as an ARM build box for compiling stuff.
Finally, I'm looking into booting Debian natively. I've already got it working on my Note 1 and my HP TouchPad. Booting natively means you get full access to run an X server with full graphics hardware access, and with the Freedreno driver you can get actual GL and GLES acceleration. The Adreno 330 should be able to handle this pretty well. The first step towards this goal is getting dual-booting kernels to work as the native Debian kernel will need some stuff that Android doesn't want and vice-versa. I'm working towards porting Kexecboot and the kexec-hardboot patches which will allow booting of multiple kernels without reflashing. Then you can boot Debian (or other Linux) natively or you can boot Android and use services from that Linux install in chroot and easily switch back and forth by rebooting. I already have this working on the Note 1 (HP TouchPad has kexecboot but it isn't really necessary as the main bootloader supports multiple kernels already).

[Q] Kali Linux via Linux Deploy w/Alfa AWUS036NHA (Atheros AR9271) USB wifi adapter?

i can't seem to find a straight answer about this. i've got kali linux installed on my samsung note 8013 and launch it via linux deploy, i access the desktop environment by connecting via VNC over SSH. i want to get my Alfa AWUS036NHA USB wifi adapter working within kali linux on it. i have the alfa connected to a powered USB hub which is connected to the tablet via a USB OTG adapter. the wifi USB adapter is recognized both in android and in kali linux when i use the "lsusb" command in a terminal window. however, it is not showing up when i do an ifconfig or iwconfig.
i have read that external wifi adapters are disabled by default, and that in order to get external wifi to work, the internal wifi needs to be disabled. however, i'm not quite sure how to do this or how to get the ath9k drivers working with packet injection, either in android or linux. i'm pretty sure this requires some kernel modifications especially if the ath9k drivers are not enabled within the kernel by default (i'm running stock rooted jellybean 4.1.2 ROM), unless there's a script that can be run on linux deploy when launching kali that can enable the ath9k drivers and the external wifi, and turn off the internal wifi. if it requires kernel modifications, do i need to recompile the kernel for both android and linux, or is the linux one enough to get it working within my kali chroot environment?
also, i was wondering if there was a way to boot into kali linux natively without having to replace my recovery - on the official kali site there's a recovery.img you can flash to boot into kali by holding down certain keys during startup, but i'd prefer to keep TWRP or clockworkmod recovery. sorry, i know that's a totally different question. thanks!

MONITOR MODE IS NOW WORKING ON NEXUS 5 BCMON4339 chipset

Ok check it out I just checked out www(DOT)nexmon(DOT)org and they have monitor mode working on the nexus 5 I have tried it and it works I was wondering if I could get this driver ported on 5.1.1 instead of having to use this on 6.0 I enjoy using my nethunter

Is nexmon a way to temporarily boot the phone to use it as a wifi interface in monitor mode, or is nexmon installed onto the phone and then you boot the phone normally and use nethunter?

nexmon is a project to enable monitor mode on the Nexus 5 smartphone. It consists of a kernel module, which is a modified bcmdhd driver, and a modified firmware that is executed on the ARM microcontroller inside the BCM4339 wifi chip. As module loading is disabled in stock kernels for the Nexus 5, we deliver a boot.img containing a kernel with enabled module loading and the modified driver module. The boot.img also disables the wpa_supplicant and p2p_supplicant services in the init.hammerhead.rc so that they are not starting automatically. This was necessary as those services interfered with our driver testing, for example, by automatically setting up an interface (ifconfig wlan0 up). The boot.img is also relatively large, as it contains a couple of tools in the /nexmon/bin directory. If size is not a problem, you can also flash the image to your phone, but then, you cannot use it for regular wifi operations anymore. In the future, we might fix this issue to make nexmon more user friendly.
If you want to report bugs or have feature requests, then feel free to contact us.

Did you try running the 6.0.1 kernel with a 5.1.1 system image? Even though there might be some stability issues, it could work – at least temporarily for playing with monitor mode. If you require a 5.1.1 kernel image, you can simply compile a 5.1.1 hammerhead kernel with enabled module support and bcmdhd enabled as a module. Then you can insmod whichever driver you want to use with your bcm4339 chip.<

Yes it is only temporary and its still in the works. I am not a said developer for the program I was just testing it

Then explain us, what you tried to do and what failed to work. Btw. we are currently working on the project and I just saw that you have to load the nexmon.ko module instead of the bcmdhd.ko module. We intend to keep the unmodified bcmdhd driver while being able to activate monitor mode by loading the nexmon.ko.

Actually i am running nethunter 3.0 on Android M 6.0.1 on my nexus 5,then I came to know about the nexmon project so I tried enabling monitor mode by following the steps as per the website, and I guess the whole process went on perfectly.But still when I use the command airmon-ng I get an error "unable to detect for sdio".

This script can be used to enable monitor mode on wireless interfaces. It may also be used to go back from monitor mode to managed mode. Entering the airmon-ng command without parameters will show the interfaces status.
Click to expand...

airmon-ng is a script to setup a monitor interface, but our nexmon driver automatically starts with a monitor interface that delivers frames prepended by a radio-tap header. So you do not need to run airmon-ng to start the monitor interface. You can simply try to run tcpdump to dump the received frames. Currently, injection is not working, so you will not be able to use any tools that require this feature.

i think that's why i couldn't use it with airodump too,would wait for the features to be added...

You can normally use your phone with this kernel, but regular wifi operation does not work with the monitor mode firmware. We also offer a lot of other firmware pathches, including frame injection. Additionally, there will be a demo on this years WiSec conference https://www.securityweek2016.tu-darmstadt.de/wisec/program/.

There is a step by step instruction online:
Code:
Download the boot.img (this project is still in heavy development, the monitor mode should work on the boot.img in this commit though: 1171d135)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot boot.img
without the flash parameter, this boot image will be reset to the previous one on the next reboot
fastboot reboot
adb shell
su -
insmod /nexmon/nexmon.ko
ifconfig wlan0 up
do whatever you want, e.g. run tcpdump: /nexmon/bin/tcpdump -i wlan0 -s0
If you simply want monitor mode, use the boot.img from commit 1171d135. We are also developing new patches. To run those you need to clone the git repo and run:
Code:
make boot
to compile everything and load the modified boot image onto your phone.
Then you can choose and load one of the patches from the firmware_patching directory on your phone by executing:
Code:
make reloadfirmware FWPATCH=monitor_mode_example
Then you can setup the interface
Code:
adb shell su -c 'ifconfig wlan0 up'
And run tcpdump
Code:
tcpdump -i wlan0 -s0
In the self build image, there are a lot of pentesting tools that are all built from source, such as aircrack-ng. Using aufs as overlay filesystem, you will find them overlayed over your system binaries, so that you can directly run them. We also patched the kernel to be able to create raw sockets without root priviledges, which allows you to access interfaces directly from Java code in Android apps, without the need of a binary that runs as root.

Yes, because we disable wpa_supplicant and p2p_supplicant as they hinder development and always pull up the wifi interface when it is not intended to be pulled up.
To reenable the two services, comment the following lines in the Makefile and recompile your own boot.img:
Code:
&& sed -i '/service wpa_supplicant/,+11 s/^/#/' init.hammerhead.rc \
&& sed -i '/service p2p_supplicant/,+14 s/^/#/' init.hammerhead.rc \

Hi @matthiasschulz,
thanks for your great work. I'm having two questions:
1. Is it possible to use your developed kernel driver with an other handset? I'm thinking of my LG G3 which also has the BCM4339 chipset.
2. It seems that one needs a specially built kernel to use your driver. Are you planing to do it like bcmon where no kernel compile is needed as they work with LD_PRELOAD to hook the C Library syscalls ?
3. Can your driver somehow be used from within a running android phone without the need to reboot into fastboot mode?
thank you very much!

The kernel always depends on the device you use, however, you can take our modified bcmdhd driver for the BCM4339 and compile it for the LG G3.

We needed to rebuild the kernel, as the original Marshmallow kernel for the Nexus 5 stock firmware has module loading disabled. Hence, the WiFi driver is directly included in the kernel. As long as other devices do not have module loading activated, you cannot simply load our modified driver. Just replacing the WiFi firmware binary and using the LD_PRELOAD hack might work however.

Not yet. Currently, we disable the wpa_supplicant and p2p_supplicant services during boot as they always try to activate the WiFi interface, which is annoying when developing new firmware patches. If someone would figure out how to stop and start the two services while the device is running, one could switch between a working original firmware version and our patches.

Hi Matthias,
thanks for your answer!
I'm digesting it!
I'm sure you closely followed the development of bcmon. If not, you can find some slides here where the devs explain how they achieved what is there:
dropbox...com/sh/le8zeczpddf3nx0/fdXn4LSxGI
link source:
bcmon.blogspot...de/2013/07/monitor-mode-reloaded_14.html
they reached a pretty portable solution. the only thing they need as a pre-requirement is root and the matching chipset
looking forward to your progress

Hey, @matthiasschulz can you tell me please why i can't get monitor mode (ex:in airodump-ng) in kali Terminal Emulator([email protected] 3.1). I have a Nexus 5 with Android 6.0.1 M0B30Y with Nethunter 3.1 on top of it and I booted nexmon (boot.img) from fastboot (command: fastboot boot boot.img).I didn't forget to insert the kernel module and bring the wlan0 interface up. The nice thing is that I can use only your tools from /nexmon/bin, like airodump-ng, but not in kali terminal, just in root android. It's something, for example,a simlink or a little bit more complicated than that?

I've got the FasssstJB 2.5 ROM up and running, once I got the touch screen working its been great. I've got Kali loaded via Linux Deploy and I plan on using a AWUS036H wireless for Kali.
When I plug the USB wireless in; lsusb can see the device in both android and kali however ifconfig shows nothing so I'm missing the rtl8187 drivers.
I've tried a few rtl8187.ko drivers I've found but nothing for 4.2.2
Anyone have an rtl8187.ko driver for 4.2.2 they care to share?
I'm 99.9% to my goal if I could just get this driver running
Thanks

Hey What is on Developers Vineet Alpha Here.Today i am gona be showing you how to run Kali-Linux with aircrack-ng on MI4I.And i will also provide my custom built kernel for MI4I with Atheros Wifi Chipset Support.I use TP-Link WN722N and Works perfectly.It Took 9 Month To Complete this Project.Remember it only works on Cyanogen Mod. It won't work on MIUI.So Strictly Follow the Steps Or you end by Bricking up your phone.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, Let's get started
First Download The Things Below [ Essential's ]
Cyanogen-Mod 12.1 -> CM12.1-ferrari
G.aaps 5.1-> Gaaps5.1-Micro
T.W.R.P Recovery IMG-> Twrp 2.8.7.0.img
Kernel-> Vineet-Kernel-RebornV1.zip
Kernel2-> Default_Kernel.zip
Busy-box APK-> Busybox.apk
Juice SSH APK-> Juicessh.apk
KMOD Manager APK-> Kmod.apk
Linux Deploy-> Linuxdeploy.apk
And the Last thing a good Internet Connection So, that Linux deploy could download the kali linux image.
Step 1.
First Flash Twrp.img on your MI4I by putting it on Fastboot Mode.
Step 2.
Then Flash Cyanogen Mod 12.1 and Gaaps Using TWRP recovery.(Before Flashing Advance Wipe All the Data.)
Step 3.
Then Setup your Cyanogen Mod 12.1 Google account and Reboot Once.
Step 4.
Then Install All the apps Stated above in the essentials.
Now, Open Busy box and let it install automatically.
Then open Linux Deploy app.And go to the settings.
Leave the architecture as it is.
Then Select Install and it will take around 30 minutes to download the image and install Kali linux.
Step 5.
Then after installation click on start in linux deploy.
The output will be something like this.
Then Open Juice SSH And add a new connection to it and Add
Username= android
Password= changeme
Address as = localhost:22
and then save it.
After that Click on connect in Juice SSH and enter password if asked as = changeme
Now, you will be into the localhost i mean kali linux terminal server.
Step 6.
Now Configure the kali linux follow my commands
type these commands
A) sudo passwd (To set your SU password in the kali linux so that you can run Aircrack-ng with admin access).
B) sudo apt-get update (necessary files and binaries to install)
C) sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng
D) sudo apt-get install wifite
C) sudo apt-get install rfkill (OPTIONAL)
Almost there my friends,
Step 7.
Now reboot the phone to TWRP recovery and Flash My Kernel (Vineet_Kernel_Reborn)
Remember after installing this Kernel Internal wifi won't work. That is the reason i told you to install and download everything before on phone.If you want to use the internal wifi again the flash the default kernel i have provided.On my kernel only external wifi adapter will work.And i'll fix this soon.
Now, after flashing the custom Kernel on CM12.1 Reboot your Phone.
Step 8.
Now open the app Kmod Manager and Load all the modules. Its very easy just switch on everything in the app.
Step 9.
Again open the Linux deploy and click on start
then open the Juice SSH app and connect to the Linux Shell(I mean to the terminal localhost of kali linux)
Step 10.
Connect you Wifi adapter using
Voila Rocking moment here-------(LAst STEp)\
Type these command to put Wifi Card (My is TP-Link WN722N Atheros AR9271) on Monitor Mode And Run Aircrack-ng on it.
A) airmon-ng (Remember it show question mark on driver just ignore it and it will give a statement just ignore all that.)
Output would be something like this.
B) airmon-ng start wlan1
or ( Depend on your wifi interface)
B) airmon-ng start wlan0
Remember after putting it on monitor mode the interface you will use on the commands will be something like this wlan1mon or wlan0mon
C) airodump-ng wlan1mon
or
C) airodump-ng wlan0mon
Output will be like this

-------You Can download additional Wifi tools and use it guys. Enjoy Folks.---
-------ENJOY MI-Hackers This is the first time aircrack-ng on MI Phone---------
----------------------Enjoy Guys-----------------------

yes!!! finaly!!! thx vineet

Share my post. If you feel thanked.

First thing - thanks for sharing your hard work!
Second: I am familiar with Kali, it is a one of four installed Linux distros on my laptop. I am also familiar with Linux Deploy app, but I have two questions:
-Will this work with Alfa AWUS036H, Realtek rtl8187L chipset (I have no TP-LINK.... )
-Will this work on Ressurection Remix LP, or we should use strict CM?
Yeah, yeah, I will try in any case, probably.

I am sorry bro Alfa AWUS036H and Realtek rtl8187L wont work on current kernel i have provided. Don't worry ill compile the kernel for you with Alfa AWUS036H, Realtek rtl8187L chipset soon and inform you.I think it may work with Ressurection Remix LP.

Please tell what is the use of kali linux on mi4i ?:what:

Can you please post the necessary changes required in the kernel?
I'm assuming it is enabling the ath9k drivers in kernel for the TP-LINK TL-WN722N, however, I might be mistaken and more changes might be required?

Well ,i make the flashable but not with patched kernel ,will upload today ,and everyone need to flash ur kernel
