Kali Linux
Kali Linux is a derived designed for sand It is maintained and funded by Offensive Security Ltd. Mati Aharoni, Devon Kearns and Raphaël Hertzog are the core developers.Kali Linux is preinstalled with over 300 penetration-testing programs, including (a graphical cyber attack management tool), for penetration-testing (both Kali Linux can run natively when installed on a computer's can be booted from or it can run within a It is a supported platform of the Metasploit Framework, a tool for developing and executing
It was developed by Mati Aharoni and Devon Kearns of Offensive Security through the rewrite of Back track their previous forensics Linux distribution based on The third core developer Raphaël Hertzog joined them as expert.
Kali Linux is based on Debian Jessie. Most packages Kali uses are imported from the Debian
Kali Linux is developed using a secure environment with only a small number of trusted people that are allowed to commit packages, with each package being signed by the developer. Kali also has a custom-built kernel that is patched for injection. This was primarily added because the development team found they needed to do a lot of wireless assessments.Kali Linux is distributed in 32bit-64bit images for use on hosts based on the and as an image for the for use on the computer and on Samsung's ARM
The developers of Kali Linux aim to make Kali Linux available for ARM devices.
Kali Linux is already available for HP Chromebook, CubieBoard , EfikaMX, Odroid U2, Odroid XU, Odroid XU3, Utilite Pro, and SS808.Kali Linux has a dedicated project set-aside for compatibility and porting to specific Android devices, called Kali Linux NetHunter.
It is the first Open Source Android penetration testing platform for Nexus devices, created as a joint effort between the Kali community member “BinkyBear” and Offensive Security. It supports Wireless 802.11 frame injection, one-click MANA Evil Access Point setups, HID keyboard (Teensy like attacks), as well as Bad USB MITM attacks.
back track (Kali's predecessor) contained a mode known as forensic mode. This capability was carried over to Kali via live boot. This mode is very popular for many reasons such as many Kali users already have a bootable Kali USB drive or CD, and this option makes it easy to apply Kali to a forensic job. There are however some changes to forensic mode over the regular operation of the system, such as forensic mode doesn't touch the hard drive or swap space and auto mounting is disabled. However, it is recommended by the developers that if Kali is going to be used for real world forensics that these things be tested in that environment.
