In order to install Kali Linux on Raspberry Pi, you will need to download the new image for Raspberry Pi 2 version 2.1 from https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-arm-images/ (filename: kali-2.1-rpi2.img.xz).
Many people want to play around with this combination of a Raspberry Pi and Kali Linux, but they do not want to waste any time figuring out why something is not working as it should. This quick setup guide is structured in a way that will allow you to streamline the process and make sure you have your Raspberry Pi up and running within a few minutes.
[Extraction]
The .xz extension (for more info on xz see: http://tukaani.org/xz/) means that the image file is compressed and needs to be extracted. You can download the xz utilities using the command: apt-get install xz-utils
Under Linux, in order to decompress the file you can use the command:
unxz filename.any.xz or the command xz -d filename.any.xz
Since version 9.04 the package p7zip manages xz files and can extract them using the command: 7za e filename.any.xz
