kali linux course | What is Kali Linux ?
Kali linux is basically a open source Operating System, It is a Debian-Based Linux Distribution aimed at advanced Penetration Testing and Security Auditing.
Kali contains several hundred plus Tools aimed at various information security tasks, Such as Penetration Testing, Forensics and Reverse Engineering.
Kali linux is developed and maintained by Offensive Security a leading information security company. and Their previous Knoppix-based digital forensics and penetration testing distribution is BackTrack.
A Linux Distribution is nothing more than a bundle containing the Linux Kernel,
a set of core utilities and application and some default settings,
So Kali Linux does not offer something unique in that sinse most of the provided tools could be installed on any Linux distribution.
The Difference is Kali is pre-packaged with those tools and the default settings were chosen according to the intended use cases of that distribution,
rather than say to fit the needs of the typical desktop user.
It has got more than 800 tools and meta packages for almost all the steps involved in hacking or testing. It has categorized all the tools in the following classes -
- Information Gathering,
- Vulnerability Analysis,
- Wireless Attacks,
- Exploitation Tools,
- Forensics Tools,
- Sniffing & Spoofing,
- Password Attacks
- Reverse Engineering
- Hardware Hacking,
- Password Cracking Tools,
- RFID Tools,
- VoIP Tools,
- and many more.
Nmap, Wireshark, BeEF, Reaver, Social Engineer Toolkit, THC Hydra, Aircrack-ng, Metasploit Penetration Testing Software are some frequently used applications which play vital roles in different jobs.
Kali Linux can run natively or booted from a live CD or live USB, or within a virtual machine. Based on Debian, most packages Kali uses are imported from the Debian repositories.
