To The List,
This Past Friday, it was announced :
Offensive Security announces the release of Kali Linux – their “most
advanced, robust, and stable penetration testing distribution to date.”
Kali Lunix is
based on the company’s BackTrack Linux distro but has been rebuilt from
the ground up. The company calls Kali Linux “a more mature, secure, and
enterprise-ready version of BackTrack Linux.” Kali Linux is intended for
professional penetration testing and security auditing, and the
developers emphasize that the distribution is not recommended for those
unfamiliar with Linux.
According to the Kali Linux website: “Seven
years of developing BackTrack Linux has taught us a significant amount
about what we, and the security community, think a penetration testing
distribution should look like. We’ve taken all of this knowledge and
experience and implemented it in our ‘next generation’ penetration
testing distribution.”
Features of Kali Linux include: single
user, root access by design; network services disabled by default;
custom Linux kernel patched for wireless injection; more than 300
penetration testing tools; and compliance with the Filesystem Hierarchy
Standard. Additionally, Kali Linux offers ARM support and is available
for the following ARM devices: rk3306 mk/ss808, Raspberry Pi, ODROID
U2/X2, and Samsung Chromebook.
