Welcome to Your Portable Hacker’s Drive
Whether you’ve purchased the USB, M.2, or SSD version, the functionality of your Portable Hacker’s Drive remains the same, and this guide will help you get started.
#### Booting the Drive
To begin, try booting your drive. On most computers, you can do this by pressing the **F12 key** during startup. If the boot fails or you encounter errors, it’s likely due to your BIOS settings being set to **Secure Boot** mode. To disable Secure Boot, reboot your computer and press one of the following keys (depending on your system) during startup: **F2**, **F8**, **F12**, or **Delete**. For specific instructions on disabling Secure Boot for your computer model, a quick Google search can provide the details you need.
**For Mac users**, simply hold the **Option key** during boot to select your drive.
#### Accessing Documentation and IIAB
To access the documentation, books, and Internet in a Box (IIAB) included on your drive, you’ll need to boot into Kali Linux with the **persistence** option. Persistence allows you to save changes and store files directly on the portable drive.
Here’s how to boot with persistence:
1. Start your computer and select either **Kali** or **BlackArch** from the **RED GRUB menu**.
2. For **Kali**: Choose the second option, "Boot with persistence." Then, on the next Kali menu, select "Persistence with no drive encryption."
3. For **BlackArch**: Simply select the first option to boot with persistence.
Login for Kali & BlackArch
User: Kali, pw: kali
User: root, BlackArch
Once in **Kali OS**, you’ll have access to additional tools, documentation, IIAB, forums, and the Hacker's AI Assistant. For the best experience, specify the OS you are using or the tool you want to use when interacting with the assistant. For example, you can ask, “How to crack a WiFi password on Kali.”
