I have seen that on intel Macs, the startup security utility has an option for booting from an external drive.
However, I am not sure if the M1 Macs allow for booting from an external drive.
Please, what security settings do I have to change to allow myself to boot Linux or Kali Linux from a USB Drive?
Kindest Regards,
I believe in your support.
Mac mini, macOS 13.3

They do.

Change security settings on the startup disk of a Mac with Apple silicon - Apple Support
FWIW, to boot an Apple silicon Mac from an external Linux drive it has to be an ARM64 version of Linux.
As far as Kali Linux, you have to check with Kali Linux support/forums.
Not all Homebrew formulas are compatible with Apple Silicon. Or maybe this is a bug in the current formula or version of that utility you are compiling.
Since that is a programming & compiling issue, you will have more luck working with the Homebrew community (do they have their own forums) or perhaps with the developer of the "libsmi" utility. The Homebrew developers don't seem to want to deal with this issue judging by the "Do not report this issue" note.
It has been a long time since I tried to do any network monitoring, but I thought WireShark would just work on a Mac, although I don't know if it is compatible with Apple Silicon. Seems WireShark does have a "macOS ARM" version.
As when I tried to install REFind, it said “unknown CPU type detected”, mate.
Then it is not compatible with Apple Silicon.
I would imagine that the Kali Linux installation would provide a GRUB2 boot menu to allow you to choose which OS to boot into....this is the default for most Linux distributions.
I have an ARM64 Kali linked drive.
I burned the Kali Linux Live ARM64 ISO, (which says on the Kali website supports Apple Silicon Macs) to the drive.
I already use UTM for a Kali Virtual Machine, but with a VM, you don’t get access to the hardware, such as the wifi antenna and so on.
Well again, you need to talk to someone from Kali support or check their forums. This is not a Kali support site.
Not to install Kali, just to use it from the Live USB mate.
A portable version mate.
Just curious as to what security settings I need to change and how I could get it to work mate.
I saw that, I don’t think that will work mate.

I didn't say it won't work. What I implied was it may not. If you are referring to reFind I don't know if that is compatible with M1/M2 Macs.
I'm pretty much done here but what version of ARM64 Kali Linux did you use to create a Kali Live USB?
OK mate.
I will do some research
Etcher is interesting. I tried using it to burn a Kali-Linux ARM64 Live iso on both an Intel (Monterey) and M1 (Ventura) Mac. It reformatted the thumb drive on both as Fat12.
I used etcher to burn an ARM64 Kali ISO image to my USB mate. I used Etcher as it is compatible with my Mac mate.
I won’t need to install Kali if I can get TShark.
This is the error I get when installing the libsmi dependency for Wireshark in the terminal guys.
I installed Asahi on bare-metal mate, but for some reason I can't put it into monitor mode.
I had the same problem. Did you do it?
Kali boot usb not showing up in boot menu
