Kali on android!
Exploring and working with Kali Linux is great but having it on your android device is exuberating. We can achieve this by following the steps below
My device
I have used a OnePlus 7 GM-1901 256 GB storage 8 GB RAM mobile phone with a Snapdragon 855 Octa-core processor. This ran android 12 earlier.
Why OnePlus 7?
It was on the Nethunter recommended hardware list
It was easily available.
I already had an OnePlus 7 and was happy with the service
and assistance. My device bricked once and i went to the
oneplus service center to get it fixed and they fixed the
software for free.
It was one of the affordable phones in the pre used
market.
The device firmware was provided by OnePlus Community.
