hen reviewing the Devuanbased distro Expirion this month (opposite page), we noted the developer had created a spin of the OS based on Kali, minus the usual tools for “those who’ve watched too much Mr Robot”.
Although there’s no such a thing as too much Mr Robot, Kali does feature prominently in the series. This is because it isn’t intended as a daily driver but as a convenient way for hackers to make use of multiple pen-testing tools.
