[ROM][OFFICIAL]Kali NetHunter for the Xiaomi Mi A3 LinageOS18.1

[yesimxev]

I present to you: Kali NetHunter for the Xiaomi Mi A3 on LineageOS 18.1

Kali NetHunter is an Android ROM overlay that turns an ordinary phone into the ultimate Mobile Penetration Testing Platform.
The overlay includes a custom kernel, a Kali Linux chroot, an accompanying Android application, which allows for easier interaction with various security tools and attacks, as well as a client to the Kali NetHunter App Store.
Beyond the penetration testing tools arsenal within Kali Linux and the Kali NetHunter App Store, NetHunter also supports several additional classes, such as HID Keyboard Attacks, BadUSB attacks, Evil AP MANA attacks, and much more. For more information about the moving parts that make up NetHunter, check out our NetHunter Components page.
NetHunter is an open-source project developed by Offensive Security and the community.


~ Prerequisites ~
- Lineage 18.1 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-11-unofficial-laurel_sprout-oss-lineageos-18-1.4240953/

~~ Downloads ~~
- NetHunter installer (scroll down for the latest Xiaomi Mi A3 image): https://www.kali.org/get-kali/#kali-mobile
- Magisk – https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk
- Force Encryption Disabler for Treble - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682920239

~~ How to Install ~~
Assuming you have unlocked bootloader, flashed LOS, Gapps, Magisk and still in Linage recovery:
To have encryption disabled, DON"T REBOOT TO SYSTEM YET, but follow these steps:
- Format data if you haven't done before flashing
- adb push and install or adb sideload DisableForceEncryption_Treble.zip
- Reboot to system
- Do initial setup
- Reboot to recovery
- adb push and install or adb sideload nethunter-2021.2-laurel_sprout-eleven-kalifs-full.zip
- Reboot into system, setup or update Nethunter from NetHunter store and do a final reboot

~~~ Notes & Updates ~~~
KeX is working, but for some users, the ROM does a soft reboot when server is started. If the dbus service is running in Kali chroot, soft reboot is gone, but still some users experience camera app crash.

there's a thing that is not clear... if i flash this rom the phone remain a phone? i can make calls? install goole apps? i have a phone with extra kaly functions? or trasform my phone in a little (and useleess) linux pc and remove all basic phone functions... because in the second case i don't understand the utility. but in thr first case it should be a good update

the phone stays a phone with lineageOS, and have the extras of kali nethunter.

you can still do anything other phone can do.

when you want to use kali net hunter programs you turn on the Kali Chroot Manager from the NetHunter app.

if have more question ill be glad to help

I wouldn't say useless even if there's no phone functions. Not because of Kali or Linux, it's just a pentesting arsenal in your pocket. But no worries, all works. You flash Kali NetHunter on top of Android 11 (LineageOS 18.1 in this case)

It's a great news! I'm linux addicted

Can I install it without disabling phone encryption?

Hello again. It says custom kernel is not supported in Harukey's Lineage Os 18.1 rom. But you built a custom kernel based on that rom. Any problem? Also, are the root and nethunter files deleted when Lineage Os 18.1 is updated? I would be very happy if you answer.

Custom kernel is supported by me. That means, if you have problem, he doesn't support you but I do. It's different what he provides so it's not his responsibility if there's an issue due to the NetHunter patches

Yes, because injection is not supported on any phones with qcacld-3.0 wifi driver. Internal bluetooth is not supported. External bluetooth and wifi is supported, please refer to the compatibility page: https://www.kali.org/docs/nethunter/wireless-cards/

External Wifi Card Not Showing.

 

[DIVESHDR]

All bugs will be fixed in the next update ?

 

[frankline2]

External Wifi Card Not Showing.

What does it say where it says build number on your phone?

This rom is not for noob... Read with attention first post... If there's something you don't understand... Don't flash. Because the OP have posted a clear and detailed guide. Kaly is first a linux distro, not a common android firmware. If you don't know anything about Linux... don't flash. Obviously It's only my opinion...

 

[yesimxev]

External Wifi Card Not Showing.

If you have followed the instructions and flashed all fine, it should show. What adapter is that? Model and chipset number? Is it working on a Kali laptop/desktop?

 

[frankline2]

Bluetooth-Arsenal is not working I guess. L2ping, Spooftoph and others don't work either. It sends 0 bytes when using L2ping. In Spooftoph software, it just clones the name. It doesn't clone the mac address. What do you think is the cause of the problems?
