Kali-Live Build-Scripts

live-build configuration for Kali ISO images.

These are the same build-scripts that the Kali team uses to generate the official Kali Linux base images, found here: kali.org/get-kali/.

Build your Kali Linux image today!

These images can be used to live boot into Kali, from such a USB/CD/DVD/sdCard, as well offers a basic installation. For more customization during setup, see kali-installer.

Have a look at Live Build a Custom Kali ISO for explanations on how to use this repository.

There are also other code examples of live-build, as well as code examples for pre-seed to automate/unattended installation.
