WHAT IS KALI LINUX

 These blog is for information about kali only not to be used for illegal purposes

KALI LINUX


So guys today I will told you what is kali linux?
By the way kali is an operating system which is mainly used for penetrating(hacking).It is mainly used for penetrating Wi-Fi networks such as (WPA,WPA2-PSK.WEP and many more) and for other purposes such as getting Facebook's account's password of your friends email id.It is also used for hacking website's too. So these were some uses of kali linux.
These was my short summary,  what I think kali has the abilities to do.
BUT
IF you Google for it in Wikipedia then you will get these a big description


Kali Linux is a Debian-derived Linux distribution
designed for digital forensics and penetration
testing. It is maintained and funded by Offensive
Security Ltd. 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 over 600
penetration-testing programs, including 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 
(both web application security scanners). [3]
Kali Linux can run natively when installed on a
computer's hard disk , can be booted(run)a live
CD or live USB , or it can run within a virtual
machine. It is a supported platform of the
Metasploit Project 's Metasploit Framework, a
tool for developing and executing security
exploits.
Kali Linux is distributed in 32- 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 BeagleBoard
computer and on Samsung's ARM Chromebook .
Kali Linux is based on Debian Wheezy. Most
packages Kali uses are imported from the
Debian repositories.
Kali linux is developed in a secure location with
only a small trusted number of people that are
allowed to commit packages. With each package
being signed by the developer. Kali also has a
custom built kernel that is patched for injection.
This was primarily added because the
development team found they needed to do a lot
of wireless assessments
Hardware support
The developers of Kali Linux aim to make Kali
Linux available on ARM devices. [ citation needed ]
Kali Linux is already available for BeagleBone
Black, HP Chromebook, CubieBoard 2, CuBox,
CuBox-i, Raspberry Pi, EfikaMX, Odroid U2,
Odroid XU, Odroid XU3, Samsung Chromebook,
Utilite Pro, Galaxy Note 10.1, and SS808.
Android
Kali Linux has a dedicated project set-aside for
compatibility and porting to specific Android
devices, called Kali Linux 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.
Forensics Mode
Backtrack (Kali's predecessor) contained a
mode known as forensic mode. This capability
was carried over to Kali via live boot. This mode
is very popular for many reasons such as many
Kali users already have a bootable Kali USB
drive, and this option makes it easy to apply
Kali to a forensic job. There are however some
changes to forensic mode over the regular
operation of the system, such as forensic mode
doesn't touch the hard drive or swap space and
auto mounting is disabled. However, it is
recommended by the developers that if Kali is
going to be used for real world forensics that
these things be tested in that environment.
