The Default Linux Distro for Cybersecurity

Kali Linux is a Debian-based Linux distribution designed specifically for cybersecurity tasks like penetration testing, forensics, ethical hacking, security auditing, and vulnerability assessment. It comes pre-installed with hundreds of security tools, making it a one-stop shop for professionals and enthusiasts alike.

For those who prefer working in the terminal, Kali’s rich set of tools is easily accessible via bash scripts, making automation and customization straightforward.

The GNOME Shell interface also provides a polished user experience for those who prefer a graphical approach.

But one of the best things about Kali is that you don't have to spend hours setting up tools. They are already configured and ready to use straight out of the box.
