Special Kali Linux Features of Note
Full Customisation of Kali ISOs
Full
customisation of Kali ISOs with live-build allowing you to create your
own Kali Linux images – Kali Linux is heavily integrated with live-build,
allowing endless flexibility in customising and tailoring every aspect of your
Kali Linux ISO images. Want a non-root user, KDE version of Kali with only the
top 10 tools installed? We have a Kali Linux live build recipe for that!
Kali Linux ISO of Doom and Other Kali Recipes
The
Kali
Linux ISO of doom
– a great example of the flexibility of live-build, and the types and
complexity of customisations possible. Build a self installing, reverse VPN
auto-connecting, network bridging Kali image – for the perfect hardware
backdoor.
Kali Linux Live USB with LUKS Encrypted Persistence
Kali
Linux Live USB persistence with LUKS encryption – Kali has extensive support for USB live installs,
allowing for features such as file persistence or full (USB) disk encryption.
Kali Linux Live USB with Multiple Persistence Stores
Kali
Linux Live USB with multiple persistence stores – What’s more, Kali Linux supports multiple persistence USB
stores on a single USB drive. You can create a live Kali USB bootable drive
which supports encryption and multiple store profiles.
Kali Linux Full Disk Encryption
Kali
Linux LUKS Full Disk Encryption (FDE) – Having the
ability to perform a full disk encryption of your sensitive penetration testing
computer drive is an essential feature needed in our industry. Just the thought
of unencrypted client data getting lost or mishandled is horrific.
Kali Linux LUKS Encryption Nuke
Nuking
your Kali Linux hard disk with the
Kali LUKS nuke
option – While being able to encrypt your drives is important,
we believe it’s also important to be able to quickly control the destruction of
data on these drives. Our Kali LUKS nuke feature is unique to our distribution.
Kali Linux Metapackages
Mastering
Kali Linux tool sets with Kali Metapackages
– Kali contains a bunch of metapackage collections which aggregate different
toolsets. This makes it easy to get custom, minimized environments set up. For
example, if all you need are some wireless tools for an upcoming assessment,
you can apt-get install kali-linux-wireless.
Kali Linux Amazon EC2 AWS Images
Kali
Linux in the cloud – Kali
Amazon EC2 images available – Need to spin up a Kali box
quickly? Perhaps you need some serious bandwidth or disk space for your
upcoming tasks. You can easily set up a cloud version of Kali Linux in the
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud.
Kali Linux Accessibility Features
Kali
Linux accessibility features for visually impaired users
– Kali is one of the very few Linux distributions which have a working
accessibility system for blind or visually impaired users through both voice
feedback and braille hardware support.
Automating Kali Linux Deployment
Automating
Kali Linux deployment via Unattended PXE installations – You can
automate and customize your Kali Linux installations over the network. You are
one PXE boot away from a fresh, custom Kali installation, or 10,000 of them.
Kali Linux on a Raspberry Pi and Other ARM Devices
Kali
Linux on a Raspberry Pi and a bunch of other interesting ARM
devices – Kali supports over a dozen
different ARM devices and common hardware such as Raspberry Pi, Odroid,
Beaglebone, and more. We’re very active in the ARM arena and constantly add new
interesting hardware to our repertoire.
Kali Linux Forensics Mode
Kali
Linux forensics mode – The bootable “Forensics” mode
available in Kali makes it perfect for forensics work, as the forensics Kali
live image option does not mount any drives (including swap) with this option.
The wealth of forensics tools on Kali (metapackage – kali-forensics-tools)
makes Kali a good choice for any forensics work you need.
Kali Linux NetHunter
Kali
Linux NetHunter ROM overlay for Nexus Android devices – Kali is so versatile that creating the “Kali NetHunter”
Android was a natural extension to our distribution. NetHunter is a custom
Android ROM overlay for ASOP which brings together all the toolset of Kali
Linux (and more!) to your Nexus or OnePlus phones.
Kali Linux Running on Android
Kali
Linux running on Android through Linux Deploy
– Have a recent Android device other than a Nexus or OnePlus phone? Try using
the Android App “Linux Deploy” to get Kali seamlessly installed in a chroot
environment.
Disk Encryption on Raspberry Pi 2
Disk Encryption on Raspberry Pi 2 and other ARM
hardware – There’s no easy way of having
LUKS disk encryption on ARM hardware. We’ve simplified the process and gave it
bells and whistles.
