The most versatile, The most awaited and advanced penetration testing Linux distribution, Kali Linux has been released from the creator of BackTrack Linux. Today, We will discuss its features

  Kali Linux is a complete re-build of BackTrack Linux, adhering completely to Debian development standards. All-new infrastructure has been put in place, all tools were reviewed and packaged.

 According to Offensive Security, 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.After a year of silent development, Offensive Security is proud to announce the release.

Being based on Debian (Debian Wheezy), Kali also uses its parent distribution’s installation program, the first Debian-based distribution I have reviewed in a while that uses the Debian Installer (DI). What that means is that Kali gives you more features (during installation) than BackTrack, Ubuntu or any other
 distribution derived from Ubuntu. This screen shot shows the installer’s disk partitioning options.

 The Kali Linux ARM Architecture images work like charm on Samsung ARM Chromebook, Raspberry Pi, ODROID U2 / X2 and SainSmart SS808.
