KALI LINUX

Kali Linux^[3] is a Debian-derived Linux distribution designed for digital forensics and penetration testing.It is maintained and funded by Offensive Security Ltd. It was developed by Mati Aharoni and Devon Kearns of Offensive Security through the rewrite of BackTrack, their previous information security testing Linux distribution based on Knoppix. The third core developer Raphaël Hertzog joined them as a Debian expert.

Kali Linux is based on Debian Testing. Most packages Kali uses are imported from the Debian repositories.^[18]
The Kali Linux project began quietly in 2012, when Offensive Security decided that they wanted to replace their venerable BackTrack Linux project, which was manually maintained, with something that could become a genuine Debian derivative, complete with all of the required infrastructure and improved packaging techniques. The decision was made to build Kali on top of the Debian distribution because it is well known for its quality, stability, and wide selection of available software.

Kali Linux includes security tools, such as:^[26]

• Aircrack-ng
• Armitage
• Burp suite
• Cisco Global Exploiter, a hacking tool used to find and exploit vulnerabilities in Cisco Network systems
• Ettercap
• John the Ripper

• Metasploit framework
• Nmap
• OWASP ZAP
• Social engineering tools.
• Wireshark
• Hydra
• Reverse Engineering tools
• Binwalk
• Foremost
• Volatility   

e.t.c


These tools can be used for a number of purposes, most of which involve exploiting a victim network or application, performing network discovery, or scanning a target IP address. Many tools from the previous version (Backtrack) were eliminated to focus on the most popular penetration testing applications.
