HOW TO TURN A SCHOOL CHROMEBOOK INTO A LINUX MACHINE
Now don't get me wrong. Chrome OS is a linux distro. However, it is the WORST linux distro. Linux is also required for some of our hacking lessons too.
1.)If you are allowed to bring chromebooks home than go ahead and have fun. If you are not allowed than put the chromebook in a binder. Having a non-transparant binder is great for this job. Put it in between the rest of your stuff and put in in your backpack
2.)Turn the chromebook off and flip it over
3.) Take a screwdriver that is meant for the kind of screw that holds the chromebook together
4.) if a screw has six points than use a screwdriver meant for Torx screws. If the top of the screw looks like a cross, than use a Phillips head screwdriver. If you see a hexagon than use a hex wrench or just get a precision screwdriver kit or an ifixit kit. The precision screwdriver kit works really well for me. DO NOT LOOSE THE SCREWS
5.) Look at the picture below. Do you see the same thing? If you have than congratulations you have reached the motherboard. DO NOT put it on a carpet as static electricity is bad for electronics, especially exposed components. Putting metal on it will also cause it to short cuircut
6.)Look at the picture below. Unplug the admin chip. It is circled red. All credit to hero for the picture
7.)Unplug it. It is now a personal device as the school management has been removed.
8.)Put it back together
9.)Boot into Chrome OS
10.)Press the following key combination. ESC+Refresh+Power
11.)If you see whats in the second picture than you are in the right place. Do not panic, it is just recovery mode. All credit goes to Tom's Guide. Press CTRL+D and follow the instructions on screen
---===+++ IF YOU WANT YOUR CHROMEBOOK TO FUNCTION AS A NORMAL CHROMEBOOK FOR SCHOOL USAGE THAN STOP HERE+++===---
Well then, this is where the fun starts
12.) plug in a flash drive that has at least more than 5 gb
13.) Choose whatever linux distro you want. Kali is the best distro for hacking as it has over 600 hacking tools already pre-installed. If you would like to use it for more personal uses than use ubuntu or mint since on Kali everything runs as root, and a virus could basically delete everything if you have
14.)This video will help you with the rest
