Overall Satisfaction with Kali Linux
I started using Kali when taking security courses. Building a Test Lab and using ti to test and harden the security of the network.
- logical and intuitive interface
- come with over 600 useful tools
- built Linux Debian distribution
- GIU interfaces for some tools
- Kali is mostly CLI based and requires knowledge of the CLI commands
- Network Scans
- Traffic analysis
- Pen testing
- Identifying weaknesses before they become a problem
- Hardening a Corporate or Home network
I would say the number one competitor to Kali is Parrot OS. While they both do the same/similar things, both have over 600 pre-loaded tools. Parrot does use some more offer what may be considered a more intuitive user interface. Parrot OS has been around for longer than people think and still has active development a support. But Kali is used more broadly in Training sessions, demos and is considered to be form all the articles I have read, the gold standard for penetration testing and tool sets.
