Ice cold with Kali
Kali is essentially a collection of tools gathered over the decades, and packaged in an easy-to-use, logical way.
Yes, Kali comes as a distro, but it’s also quite simple to download and install its essential tools on a standard Debian or Ubuntu system.
But functionality and the ability to hurl malware like a cyber-shuriken is only part of what Kali Linux is about.
Mostly, Kali Linux is about style. You’ll see it in the ever-present dragons scattered around the system. You’ll see it in the customised terminal, which, even if you only use it for some innocuous text editing, makes you look like a hacker.
With Kali, you can sit in a cafe wearing a fedora, and even if you’re just checking the news on your laptop, you’ll exude an ineffable sense of menace to fellowpatrons as you down your triple espresso.
