Kali Linux is a Debian-based Linux distribution designed for digital forensics, penetration testing, and security auditing. It contains a variety of security-related tools such as password cracking, network analysis, and reverse engineering. It is maintained and funded by Offensive Security Ltd.
Kali Linux is the best Linux distro for hacking purposes. It comes with a collection of security and forensics tools that can be used for penetration testing, ethical hacking, and digital forensics. It includes over 300 pre-installed tools covering several categories such as information gathering, vulnerability analysis, and exploitation, web applications analysis and exploitation, etc.
Kali Linux Features
600+ Penetration Testing Tools Included
After reviewing each tool included in Backtrack, Kali removed a large number of tools that didn’t work or duplicated other tools that provided the same or similar functionality. Details of what’s included are on the Kali Tools site.
Free and always will be
Kali Linux, like Backtrack, is completely free and always will be. You will never have to pay for Kali Linux.
Open Source Git Tree
Kali is open source development model and our development tree is accessible to all. All of the source code that goes into Kali Linux is available to anyone who wants to modify or rebuild the packages to suit their specific needs.
FHS Compliant
Kali adheres to the File System Hierarchy Standard, allowing Linux users to easily locate binaries, support files, libraries, and more.
Extensive support for wireless devices
A regular sticking point with Linux distributions has been supporting wireless interfaces. Kali built Kali Linux to support as many wireless devices as possible, allowing it to run smoothly on a wide variety of hardware and making it compatible with many USB devices and other wireless devices.
Custom kernel, patched for injection
As penetration testers, the development team often has to perform wireless assessments, so our kernel includes the latest injection patches.
Developed in a secure environment
The Kali Linux team is made up of a small group of individuals who are trusted to validate packages and interact with the repositories, all using a number of secure protocols.
Multi-language support

Fully Customizable
Kali fully understands that not everyone will agree with our design decisions, so they’ve made it as easy as possible to customize Kali Linux for our more adventurous users.
ARMEL and ARMHF support
As ARM-based single-board systems like the Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone Black, among others, become more widespread and affordable, we knew that Kali’s ARM support needed to be as robust as possible for ARMEL and ARMHF systems. With fully functional installation for. Kali Linux is available on a wide range of ARM devices and ARM repositories are built into the main distribution so that the tools for ARM are updated with the rest of the distribution.
Conclusion
Kali is an excellent tool for anyone looking to explore or expand their knowledge in the field of cyber security. With its wide range of software and resources, Kali Linux makes it easier to perform tasks such as digital forensics, penetration testing, and security auditing.
