Manual Installation:
sudo su cd /usr/local/src #### CHOOSE ONE OF THE BELOW #### ## For current stable wget -O re4son-kernel_current.tar.xz https://re4son-kernel.com/download/re4son-kernel-current/ tar -xJf re4son-kernel_current.tar.xz ## For old stable wget -O re4son-kernel_old.tar.xz https://re4son-kernel.com/download/re4son-kernel-old/ tar -xJf re4son-kernel_old.tar.xz ## For next unstable wget -O re4son-kernel_next.tar.xz https://re4son-kernel.com/download/re4son-kernel-next/ tar -xJf re4son-kernel_next.tar.xz ## Execute this for all: cd re4son-kernel_4* ./install.sh
For Raspberry Pi 3 and Pi Zero W:
– Press “Y” when prompted to install bluetooth and wifi drivers (not required on Raspbian)
– Say “Y” when prompted to enable bluetooth services (you can still disable it later)
– reboot
Bluetooth
There aren’t any issues with Bluetooth but if you want to de-install or re-install the drivers just type:
## Remove Bluetooth: cd /usr/local/src/re4son-kernel_4* ./install.sh -r ## Re-install Bluetooth: ./install.sh -b
Kernel Headers
You will be offered to install the headers during the kernel installation.
To install them later manually , run the installer again like this:
shell]cd /usr/local/src/re4son-kernel_4*
./install.sh -e[/shell]
Nexmon Drivers (included in “current stable” & “old stable”)
No need to do anything with the latest “current” and “next” kernels
The nexmon drivers are fully stable and now compiled in the kernel tree.
For older kernel versions:
The nexmon drivers enable monitor mode and frame injection for the build in wifi chips of the Pi3B and Pi0W.
The re4son kernel includes the compiled nexmon drivers and firmware with -m6 and -m7 support.
To install, reboot after installing a new kernel and run:
cd /usr/local/src/re4son-kernel_4* ./install.sh -x
If you have any problems with the drivers and wish to rollback to the original ones, just run:
cd /usr/local/src/re4son-kernel_4* ./install.sh -o

Images with Re4son Kernel
(Best to use Chrome for download)
Important: These images use the smallest possible partition size, run “kalipi-config” and extend your partition first thing when you boot up or you run out of space very quickly:
Note: Unofficial Kali images have been retired.
Official Kali Linux images ship with the latest re4son-kernel and kalipi-tft-config already.

Bluetooth
Make sure the bluetooth service is enabled and started, via:
systemctl enable bluetooth systemctl start bluetooth
You are now ready to pair your devices, just like this:
bluetoothctl
[bluetooth]# agent on Agent registered [bluetooth]# default-agent Default agent request successful [bluetooth]# scan on Discovery started [bluetooth]# pair 00:1F:xx:xx:xx:xx Attempting to pair with 00:1F:xx:xx:xx:xx …snip… Pairing successful [bluetooth]# trust 00:1F:xx:xx:xx:xx [CHG] Device 00:1F:xx:xx:xx:xx Trusted: yes [bluetooth]# connect 00:1F:xx:xx:xx:xx Attempting to connect to 00:1F:xx:xx:xx:xx Connection successful
Voila – there it is, Bluetooth device connected.
Ethernet Gadget
The Re4son-Kernel supports ethernet gadget mode and both Pi zero armel images on this page have the usb0 interface enabled out of the box to allow the initial setup without any additional hardware except a micro usb cable.
Below the steps to get it working:
- Image a micro SD card
- Leave the card in your computer and edit the following two files in the /boot partition:
– cmdline.txt: Add “modules-load=dwc2,g_ether” after “rootwait“
– config.txt: Add “dtoverlay=dwc2“ - Insert the card into your Raspberry Pi zero
- Insert the micro USB cable into the usb port of the Pi (not the power port) and your computer
- Wait for the Pi to boot up and enable ICS for the newly created adapter on your PC or MAC (Don’t have VM’s running at this point)
- Wait a minute and ssh into “kali.mshome.net” from you PC (not sure about Mac).
– If the name resolution doesn’t work, find the IP address of your Pi via:# In Windows: @echo off cls (FOR /L %i IN (1,1,254) DO ping -n 1 -w 10 192.168.137.%i | FINDSTR "bytes=") echo on # In *NIX: fping -a -g 192.168.137.0/24
Sticky Fingers Kali-Pi images come with a nifty bonjour treat that allows you to connect to kali-pi.local – More about this in the forum
Voila – there it is, ssh connection via usb cable.
Setting up wifi via the command line
UPDATE: No need to do these steps, run “kalipi-config” instead to set up wifi
Old-Skool way:
To configure a wifi network, disable network-manager, configure /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and /etc/network/interfaces:
systemctl stop network-manager systemctl disable network-manager /sbin/ip link set up wlan0 /sbin/iw wlan0 scan|grep SSID ## Pick your SSID wpa_passphrase [your ssid] > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf ... Enter passphrase and press enter vi /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf # delete the clear text passphrase
Edit “/etc/network/interfaces” and add the following stanza:
allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
That’s all, happy hacking
