With a few keystrokes, he opened the terminal and inserted his bootable USB.
The ISO file (installer) was around 3 GB in size. To create a bootable USB, he used a tool called Rufus on Windows to turn the ISO into a bootable USB stick.
His USB drive had a capacity of 16 GB, so it was more than enough.
After preparing the drive, he booted Kali Linux by plugging the USB into the laptop, restarting the system, opening the boot menu, and selecting the USB drive as the boot source.
The Kali then began to load without installing itself on the hard drive.
The screen flickered as he rebooted the system, bypassing Windows. A dark interface appeared, loading Kali Linux, a system designed for cybersecurity and ethical hacking.
Now, he could access all its built-in tools like airmon-ng, airodump-ng, and others without installing anything permanently on the laptop.
He had downloaded the ISO back when he was creating his version of Minecraft at the computer shop, thinking it might be useful someday.
He hadn't expected that day to come so soon.
