Kali Linux
Kali Linux is a Debian-derived Linux distribution designed for digital forensics and penetration testing. it is an open source project that is maintained and funded by Offensive Security Ltd, a provider of world-class information security training and penetration testing services. It was developed by Mati Aharoni and Devon Kearns of Offensive Security through the rewrite of BackTrack, their previous forensics Linux distribution. Kali Linux is preinstalled with numerous penetration-testing programs, including nmap (a port scanner), Wireshark (a packet analyzer), John the Ripper (a password cracker), and Aircrack-ng (a software suite for penetration-testing wireless LANs). It is a supported platform of the Metasploit Project’s Metasploit Framework, a tool for developing and executing security exploits.
