Klailinux என்à®±ால் என்ன[what is kali linux in tamil ...

Kali Linux is a Debian-derived Linux distribution designed for digital forensics and penetration testing. It is maintained and funded by Offensive Security.

Development

Kali Linux has over 600] preinstalled penetration-testing programs, including Armitage (a graphical cyber attack management tool), Nmap (a port scanner), Wireshark (a packet analyzer), John the Ripper (a password cracker), Aircrack-ng (a software suite for penetration-testing wireless LANs), Burp suite and OWASP ZAP web application security scanners.[7][8]

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, originally it was designed with a focus on kernel auditing, from which it got its name Kernel Auditing LInux. The name is sometimes incorrectly assumed to come from Kali the Hindu goddess or the Hindu demon.[10] The third core developer, Raphaël Hertzog, joined them as a Debian expert.

Kali Linux is based on the Debian Testing branch. Most packages Kali uses are imported from the Debian repositories

Kali Linux popularity grew when it was featured in multiple episodes of the TV series Mr. Robot. Tools highlighted in the show and provided by Kali Linux include Bluesniff, Bluetooth Scanner (btscanner), John the Ripper, Metasploit Framework, nmap, Shellshock, and Wget.

With version 2019.4 in November 2019, the default user interface was switched from GNOME to Xfce, with a GNOME version still available

Requirements

  • Kali Linux requires a minimum of 3GB hard disk space for installation
  • A minimum of 256MB RAM for i386 and AMD64 architectures.
  • A bootable CD-DVD drive or a USB stick.

Recommended

The recommended hardware specification for smooth run are:

  • 10 GB of hard disk space, SSD preferred
  • At least 2048 MB of RAM

Supported platforms

Kali Linux is distributed in 32-bit and 64-bit images for use on hosts based on the x86 instruction set and as an image for the ARM architecture for use on the Beagle Board computer and on Samsung's ARM Chromebook.[18]

The developers of Kali Linux aim to make Kali Linux available for even more ARM devices.

Kali Linux is already available for Asus Chromebook Flip C100P,

With the arrival of Kali NetHunter, Kali Linux is also officially available on Android devices such as the Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 7, Nexus 9, Nexus 10, OnePlus One, and some Samsung Galaxy models. It has also been made available for more Android devices through unofficial community builds.

Kali Linux is available on Windows 10, on top of Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). The official Kali distribution for Windows can be downloaded from the Microsoft Store.[20]

Features

Kali Linux has a dedicated project set aside for compatibility and porting to specific Android devices, called Kali NetHunter

It is the first Open Source Android penetration testing platform for Nexus devices, created as a joint effort between the Kali community member "BinkyBear" and Offensive Security. It supports Wireless 802.11 frame injection, one-click MANA Evil Access Point setups, HID keyboard (Teensy like attacks), as well as Bad USB MITM attacks]

BackTrack (Kali's predecessor) contained a mode known as forensic mode, which was carried over to Kali via live boot. This mode is very popular for many reasons, partly because many Kali users already have a bootable Kali USB drive or CD, and this option makes it easy to apply Kali to a forensic job. When booted in forensic mode, the system doesn't touch the internal hard drive or swap space and auto mounting is disabled. However, the developers recommend that users test these features extensively before using Kali for real world forensics.

Tools

Kali Linux includes security tools, such as

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.

Offensive Security provides a book, Kali Linux Revealed] and makes it available for free download.
