Kali Linux is a distribution based on the Debian GNU/Linux distribution aimed at digital forensics and penetration testing users maintained and funded by Offensive Security. It was developed by Offensive Security as the successor to BackTrack Linux.[1]
Kali provides users with easy access to a comprehensive and large collection of security-related tools ranging from port scanners to password crackers. Support for Live CD and Live USB functionality allows users to boot Kali directly from portable media without requiring installation, though permanent installation to hard disk is also an option. It is a supported platform for the Metasploit Project's Metasploit Framework, a tool for developing and executing exploit code against a remote target machine.[2] It also includes the security tools Wireshark, John the Ripper, Nmap and Aircrack-ng.[2]
Kali is distributed in 32-bit and 64-images for use on hosts based on the x86 processor architecture, as well as an image for the ARM architecture for use on the Raspberry Picomputer and on Samsung's ARM Chromebook.[3]
