+# 🔹 How to Create a Bootable Kali Linux USB on macOS
+
+This guide shows how to format and write a Kali Linux ISO/IMG file to a USB drive using **Terminal** on macOS.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Download Kali Linux
+
+* Get the latest installer ISO/IMG from the [official Kali Linux download page](https://www.kali.org/get-kali/).
+* For Apple Silicon Macs, use the **ARM64 installer image**.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Identify the USB Drive
+
+List all disks:
+
+```bash
+diskutil list external physical
+```
+
+Find your USB device (e.g., `/dev/disk4`).
+⚠️ **Be absolutely sure of the correct disk — choosing the wrong one can erase your Mac’s internal drive.**
+
+---
+
+## 3. Unmount the USB Drive
+
+Unmount all mounted volumes from the USB:
+
+```bash
+diskutil unmountDisk force /dev/disk4
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. Convert the ISO to IMG (if needed)
+
+Some Kali images come as `.iso`. Convert to `.img`:
+
+```bash
+hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o ~/Downloads/kali.img ~/Downloads/kali-linux-2025.2-installer-arm64.iso
+```
+
+macOS will append `.dmg`, resulting in `kali.img.dmg`.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Write the Image to the USB
+
+Use `dd` to copy the image.
+⚠️ This erases the entire USB drive.
+
+```bash
+sudo dd if=~/Downloads/kali-linux-2025.2-installer-arm64.img.dmg of=/dev/rdisk4 bs=4m status=progress
+sync
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+* Use `/dev/rdiskX` (raw device) instead of `/dev/diskX` for faster writes.
+* Replace `disk4` with your actual USB device.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Eject the USB
+
+When the process finishes:
+
+```bash
+diskutil eject /dev/disk4
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. Boot From USB
+
+* Insert the USB into the target computer.
+* Open BIOS/UEFI (usually **F12**, **DEL**, or **ESC** at startup).
+* Select the USB device to boot.
+* Install Kali Linux.
+
+---
+
+✅ **You now have a bootable Kali Linux USB installer created on macOS.**
