Kali Linux is a Debian Linux based operating system developed by Offensive Security. In terms of appearance, Kali Linux has a simple and not too flashy appearance and its use is quite easy, so it is very good for beginners in penetrating the network. Apart from being available on PCs, Kali Linux also makes a ROM available on Android called Kali Nethunter which has the same function.
Kali Linux is the reincarnation of BackTrack, a Linux distribution that was created specifically to meet the needs of penetration and testing on a system and security on computers. The existence of Kali Linux is expected to be more stable and powerful than the previous generation, BackTrack. Fully compliant with development standards on Debian. The most recent release now is Kali Linux 1.0.7 which was released in May 2014.
Kali Linux has been developed and funded by Offensive Security. Same with its predecessor, BackTrack. Currently, Kali Linux has been developed in an open source way and of course it can be obtained for free. You can make changes in Kali Linux according to your wishes, there are more than 300 tools that must be penetration testing in Kali Linux.
The appearance of this Linux-based operating system in terms of appearance is very simple and unobtrusive, the use is included in the easy class, thus it is very good to use for beginners who want to penetrate the network. Not only on PCs, the existence of Kali Linux can create ROMs on the Android system known as Kali Nethunter that have the same function.
History of Kali Linux
Linux itself means a Unix clone, a kernel written by Linus Torvalds and developed with the help of programmers and hackers from around the world. Linux has all the features of Unix, including multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand load, shared copy on write executables, proper memory management and TCP/IP networking. With features like the ‘real operating system’, it doesn’t make Linux expensive, instead Linux can be obtained for free. Even if there is a small charge it is only a distribution fee or a mere cd purchase.
Linux is distributed under the GNU General Public License, which is a license in which the program owner retains the copyright but other people may distribute, modify or even resell the program but on condition that the original source code must be included in the distribution. Linux was first developed for 386/486-based PCs and later developed for other machines. Until now Linux also runs on DEC Alpha, SUN Sparcs, M68000, MIPS and PowerPC machines.
Linux can run only with 150Mb of hard disk space, 2 Mb of RAM but realistically of course it takes more space for development tools, data and so on so it takes about 250Mb of HD space and 12-16Mb of RAM. As a modern operating system Linux supports a lot of hardware on the market but some are not supported due to technical problems or a group of volunteers are working on the drivers. To check what hardware can run under Linux please see hardware compatibility on Redhat.
