Great news for Hackers and Backtrack Linux fans! The most awaited penetration testing Linux distribution has been released called 'Kali Linux' or 'Backrack 6', from the creators of BackTrack itself.Kali Linux is the new generation of the industry-leading BackTrack Linux penetration testing and security auditing Linux distribution.
Within five days after its initial release, the Kali team reported over 90,000 downloads and had already added more documentation and even an early bugfix.
So the first big change was platform — from Ubuntu to Debian. Debian-compliant packages
and Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) compliance were two things that fed into this decision: “What this means is that instead of having to navigate through the /pentest tree, you will be able to call any tool from anywhere on the system as every application is included in the system path.”
Here are some of the highlights of Kali:
More than 300 penetration testing tools included
Still funded by Offensive Security
ARMEL and ARMHF support, including for these arm devices: rk3306 mk/ss808, Raspberry Pi, ODROID U2/X2, and Samsung Chromebook
Fully customizable
Multilingual support
Still free!
Here is a link to the download page,, where you can read more about their recommendations and the versions available.
