Summary0000464: Kali 1.0.4 for Raspberry Pi NO SSH? NO TTY?
Description

Just downloaded and imaged a new SD Card with the Kali v1.0.4 for Raspberry Pi (armel) and I believe that neither SSH nor TTY is enabled by default.

$ ssh [email protected]
ssh: connect to host 10.71.1.121 port 22: Connection refused

$ ping -c 4 10.71.1.121

$ arp -n -a
? (10.71.1.121) at b8:27:eb:b7:50:2f on en0 ifscope [ethernet]

Tried connecting via Minicom and I get no response via Serial either.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. dd image to SD Card then boot your Raspberry Pi.

  2. Try to ssh to the Pi.

  3. Try connecting via Serial.

  4. Both fail.

Additional Information

You must know that most Raspberry Pi's do not come with any sort of monitor or keyboard, so we kind of need at the very least Serial capabilities to login for the first time.

NOTE: v1.0.0 did not have this problem

I'll fix this and get a new image up soon, until then, you can edit /etc/inittab on the sdcard and add at the bottom:

T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyAMA0 115200 vt100

SSH however is disabled by default on all Kali installations, so you'll need to login either on serial, or add a keyboard and monitor to the rpi, and run dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server to generate new ssh keys (due to openssh on debian generating keys when being installed we remove the keys before making the image otherwise every rpi out there would have the same ssh keys) and then run

update-rc.d ssh enable (to enable the service at boot time)
service ssh start (to start the service)

I ran into this problem and have a suggestion. I also do not use keyboard, mouse or serial to access my pi.

My suggestion - can you enable Telnet for a "first run" instance. In this way telent can be used to configure SSH and disable telnet.

Thanks for the report, we've enabled ssh for the rpi image. It is HIGHLY recommended that after the first time you connect that you change your ssh keys as all rpi images will have the same keys.
