Nothing beats kali in penetration testing

  • May 26, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It comes equipped and preinstalled with many penetration-testing tools, for network scanning we get nmap, wireshark to analyse packets and many more. We dont need to install these tools like we have to on ubuntu
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a little concerning as it can be misused, sometimes, analysing a suspicious code snippet can go wrong. And some of the tools which come preinstalled lack support and sometime buggy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Kali linux helps in penetration testing to help find out security vulnerabilities in our software; It is a specialised distribution of Linux which comes preinstalled with many software.

What do you like best about the product?
Hi user i was use kali Linux from last 6 month before kali i used Ubuntu. My boss say to i need debian base OS but not Ubuntu. Then i install kali Linux on there system after installation i see too much tools are available in kali Linux.
Basically kali Linux for hackers or security system management handling people it's totally wrong. Every one use this os but tools are too unicq so don't use for any type illegal work . Kali Linux use for fun .
What do you dislike about the product?
Too much features are in kali Linux that I dislike it.
Mainly maximum package are not available in kali Linux server some time build it. Graphic driver finding or installation are too irritating.

Almost all tools are pre installed on kali Linux. I am presently working as Linux admin in my company then i like kali Linux more then Ubuntu.
Main benifit in kali terminal. Kali terminal work as Google search engine type 2 or 3 character terminal provide you full command from you will perform before kali terminal.

Linux with a difference

  • April 27, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the level of security features and protection offered to the general user by the product. I actually started using Kali's predecessor BackTrack. Loved the program since then and used it for a various purpuses, from testing the level of security on my router, to ensuring the passwords I utilize are rock-solid secure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Alot of persons can agree with me on this one, the installation process can be rather tedious and also the level of hardware it support needs to be upgraded, because not everyone have a machine that can run the Operating System.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It enables from the average person to those in high level IT security post ensure their data and other digital information is secured, through its many different avenues of stress testing security protocols and how well said data is being protected by set standards. It benefits me in return by giving me that peace-of-mind, that not any Mr John Doe can just jump on his machine, to hack into my data, because I am already covered and secured from such cyber attacks.
