Was created as a Debian fork specifically intended to make
penetration testing on the “Universal
Operating System” have a simpler setup process. You just plug and play. BlackArch and Pentoo would be comparable distributions.
Nowadays the butt of many jokes among the Linux community as its users are often seen as
script kiddies. r/KaliLinux is filled with demonstrations of what happens when you make an absolute beginner the sysadmin of what’s essentially just Debian Unstable (hint: nothing good for them, but funny for us).
Xayden: IM GONNA HACK YOUR ROUTER! I USE KALI LINUX AND IM THE GOD OF HACKING!
Bob: Ethical hacking is how I pay the bills. I use Pentoo consistently for purposes that aren’t running 10000 different Wine applications - I.e. finding any security holes that some kid using Kali would try to exploit and stopping idiots
trying to hack my clients. Please, take a
look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself why you even
installed Kali.
