I have a Raspberry Pi 4 running Kali Linux. I succeeded to ssh to the Pi via Wifi, but I failed when trying to ssh via Ethernet. Here is what I did (trying to ssh via Ethernet):

  • connect Ethernet cable from my laptop to the Pi, and power it on
  • after waiting some time for Pi to boot, I go to Control Panel>Network and Sharing Center. I click on the ethernet connection properties and got "autoconfiguration IPv4" 169.254.228.8
  • open Putty, enter 169.254.228.8, and start ssh
  • received "Network error: Connection refused."

By the way, this is what I get about eth0 when running "ifconfig" on the Pi:

eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::dea6:32ff:fe78:ed88 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether dc:a6:32:78:ed:88 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 237 bytes 36886 (36.0 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 72 bytes 19080 (18.6 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0

So what do I need to do to ssh via Ethernet? When I was using Raspbian, I could do that pretty straightforward, but now I want to try something new as Kali Linux. I am by no means an expert though, so please bear with me if I missed something stupid.

Thank you in advance.

    This is a problem with your Windows setup - connect the Pi to your router and it should work. Commented Apr 24, 2020 at 11:36
  • Can you please specify that? How can it help? Commented Apr 24, 2020 at 12:18

Okay I have solved it by myself. For future people who come here: I ssh by the IPv6 instead of IPv4 as usual, and everything is good! (Still don't know why my ifconfig doesn't return an IPv4, though)
