Where you have to install avahi, you can bring the usb0 interface up by typing “sudo ifconfig usb0 up”

@sfuoncall Рік тому

Another comment, given Kali linux is meant to be a security tester platform. I would recommend changing the default password from kali to a more secure password. The reason being that you will most probably want to use the Wifi or hard wire to check out the network and therefore it is possible somebody to hack you while you are trying to hack them. :-)

One potential gotcha ! - at 10:26 when you say avahi-autoipd needs internet access to be downloaded, if you are working on a clean kali system you will need to [sudo apt update] and [sudo apt upgrade] before [sudo apt install avahi-autipd]

@peterhampel2988 Рік тому

Thank you for the video! I have an issue with avahi-autoipd: Package avahi-autoipd is not available but is referred to by another package. Also I can not modify date and time for kali-OS. Thank you in advance

@tech_craft Рік тому

You may need to run `sudo apt update` before being able to install `avahi-autoipd`. You'll also need to make sure you're connected to the Internet. When you're connected to the Internet if you run `sudo timedatectl set-ntp on` that should set the date and time based on your location.

@jimbagsh9569 Рік тому

This might be slightly off-topic, but would it be difficult to connect a 'Mac Mini' to the iPad (similiar to connecting a 'Pi' to the iPad)?

@jimbagsh9569 Рік тому

The reason I'm thinking of this is that I am a volunteer working in rural Nepal. I use my iPad Air a lot. So, I was thinking of using a 'Mac Mini' at my room where I have power (most of the time) and use the iPad Air as a monitor. Then when away from the room, I would use the iPad Air alone. Bringing a 'Mac Mini' would be easier to carry in my luggage - packing a monitor wouldn't be that easy - that's why I thought of the 'Pi' but since you it doesn't seem like you can buy a 'Pi' any time soon, I was looking for alternatives like the 'Mac Mini'/

@tech_craft Рік тому

I think the best option for this setup is to use something like Sidecar to have the iPad act as a screen for the Mac Mini.

@tech_craft Рік тому

It's a little dependent on what else you're running on the iPad and what brightness you have, but you can expect 2-3 hours quite reliably. You have a few options for powering both the iPad and the Pi at the same time: the Apple Magic Keyboard and a USB-C hub are the main two. I have a video coming up on this topic next week.

@marksun7846 Рік тому

I use my raspberry pi 4b to program web things on my m1 iPad pro 12.9. My raspberry pi is 4G ram and with desktop version os. After turning off WLAN and Bluetooth on pi, I can feel some impact on battery life but it´s not significant. I can still use my iPad nonstop for half-day( not always connecting raspberry pi). OS without desktop interface may save more battery life probably. I think it highly depends on what is running on pi, and which pi you are using. Searching the current of every model raspberry pi in different CPU usage on google can help you calculate the power. I think most of the time it can't be worse than charging a phone on ipad (15w). Use 3B or 3B+ if you don't need powerful CPU. Turning off some useless io (like HDMI) can also help a bit.
