About

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

I really need to watch this Lynda tutorial series again.

Software Included

The actual list of software is way too huge to include here in its entirety, so below is just the software I plan to use, have had any experience with, or have researched.

See also KaliLinuxSuite.

Commands

These will be in addition to the regular LinuxCommands as KaliLinux has additional more specialized commands specific to this OS.

Parent/child partition

Metasploit (insecure for testing) Debian host Windows7 target Windows10 target D/L trial versions of these (or are there appliances pre-maid?)
