Kali Linux

Cyber security experts use Kali Linux for security testing more than any other Linux distributions on the market. Kali Linux uses hundreds of tools for vulnerability assessment and network security, for preparedness against any cyber attack. 

Kali is compatible with all programs in the Debian package repository. Its GNU General Public License (GPL) allows developers to access the source code and modify their distro as needed. 

The Operating System (OS) works across many devices, including those with minimal processor power, in the cloud, through container, virtual machine, mobile phone, and USB. Multiple desktop environments improves customizability on user workstations. 

Kali Linux provides multilingual support for international enterprises.

Kali Linux provides a robust set of tools and utilities to test security on computers and networks. “Forensics mode” is deployable from USB drives to check data integrity with hashing. The Autopsy tool consolidates numerous digital forensics toolkits into a single User Interface (UI). The Tor browser ensures anonymity by blocking trackers and ads, and automatically clearing your cookies and cache. It uses multi-layered encryption, hides browsing, and prevents digital fingerprinting. It also features the Nmap port scanner, John the Ripper password cracker, Metasploit pentesting framework, and Wireshark packet analyzer. The dpkg package manger controls installation, removal, and updating all software on the OS. 

Virtualization is supported by VMware, VirtualBox, and Vagrant, while containerization is supported by Docker and LXC / LXD images. Cloud infrastructure users choose from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Digital Ocean, and Linode. Users also choose from various desktop softwares to change the UI, including Xfce (default) for lightweight performance, GNOME for simplicity, and KDE Plasma. The default Unix shell is ZSH, and Bash is an alternative option. 

Multiple 32-bit and 64-bit processor architectures are supported by Kali Linux, including i686, x86, x86_64, and ARM. Kali Linux utilizes a monolithic Linux kernel. 

Ntegral certified images are always up-to-date, secure, and built to work right out of the box. 

Ntegral packages applications following industry standards, and continuously monitors all components and libraries for vulnerabilities and application updates. When any security threat or update is identified, Ntegral automatically repackages the applications and pushes the latest versions to the cloud marketplaces.
