Network Configuration

After installing Kali Linux on the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, the next step is to configure the network so the device can be accessed remotely.
There are two main options:

  1. Connect to an existing Wi-Fi network
    Configure the network interface to automatically join a wireless network already available in the environment.

  2. Set up a Wi-Fi hotspot
    Configure the network interface to create its own hotspot, allowing other devices to connect directly to the Raspberry Pi.

Option 1: Connect to an existing Wi-Fi network

To configure the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W to connect to an existing Wi-Fi network, we use Netplan and Cloud-init.

On the visible partition of the microSD card, there is a file called network-config that must be modified.
A template file has been uploaded to this repository for reference.

Steps:

  1. Copy the template content from this repository into the network-config file located on the microSD card.

    version: 2
wifis:
renderer: networkd
wlan0:
    dhcp4: true
    optional: true
    access-points:
    "WIFI_SSID":
        password: wpa_supplicant(PASSWD)

  2. Make the following modifications:

    • Replace WIFI_SSID with the SSID of the Wi-Fi network you want the Raspberry Pi to connect to.

    • In the password field, add the PSK key for WPA/WPA2. This PSK must be generated from the SSID and the Wi-Fi passphrase.

    To simplify this process, a Python script has been provided in this repository.
    Run the script to generate the PSK and copy the result into the network-config file.

    python tools/wpa_supplicant.py

Once the Raspberry Pi connects to the Wi-Fi network, you need to identify the IP address assigned to it.
This can usually be done by checking the list of connected devices on your router or Wi-Fi access point.

Set up a Wi-Fi hotspot (TBD)
