Overall Satisfaction with Kali Linux

As a SaaS company we must perform regular security scans to ensure our servers are up to date and configured properly. We use Kali's security tools for this purpose.
  • Analyzing SSL certificates
  • Analyzing SSL server configurations
  • Vulnerability scanning
  • Port scanning
  • Kali is a collection of tools, so the documentation is fragmented. It would be nice to have more centralized docs.
  • Verifying SSL certificates
  • Confirming SSL configurations
  • Scanning web sites for potential vulnerability issues
  • Almost entirely positive. It's an indispensable tool in cybersecurity.

Kali is well suited for the following:




  • Analyzing SSL certs to verify
    they are installed correctly
  • Analyzing SSL configuration on
    servers to confirm correct ciphers are enabled
  • Scanning our web servers for
    vulnerabilities as part of our regular security testing
  • Scanning wordpress sites to
    identify out of date plugins and other potential security issues.
  • Running port scans on our servers
    to make sure only certain ports are open
It is not appropriate for users who aren't already familiar with cybersecurity. Kali is an advanced OS geared for cybersecurity applications.
