What is Kali Linux?
Kali Linux is a Linux distribution based on Debian GNU/Linux and specifically designed for penetration testing and IT security auditing. The distribution contains an extensive collection of tools and applications specifically designed to meet the needs of security professionals, good as malicious hackers and penetration testers. The Kali distribution contains tools for various tasks, including network analysis, penetration testing, data recovery, forensics and reverse engineering.
Kali Linux is used by many companies and organisations to test their systems for vulnerabilities and identify security issues. The distribution is an important part of the toolkit of IT security professionals and is often used as the primary platform when occasionally conducting penetration tests. Kali Linux is also often used by beginners who want to expand their knowledge of IT security and experiment with it.
While the Kali Linux distribution is also used in the professional environment, one also finds penetration testers and companies using their own distribution or toolset. Kali Linux can be compared to a standard toolkit from the hardware store. It contains everything one usually needs. At some point, however, you put together your own custom-fit case - or in this case a Linux system.
