The best hacker os

  • March 08, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is one of the best distribution of Linux os. It comes preloaded with heavy set of tools that cab be used for cyber security practices and it also makes Linux a full os.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think one of the downside of kali Linux is that it's updates are not quite stable and if any new update is crashing then it is difficult to go back a update and reset your system
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves my problem of downloading any required cyber security tools via the terminal as it already pre loaded with quite number of tools. Yes my cyber security performance has increased

The Ultimate OS for Hackers

  • March 07, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
By defaulty Kali Linux has all the tools a hacker could need. There are tools for:

Information Gathering
Vulnertability Analysis
Web Application Analysis
Database Assessment
Password Attacks
Wireless Attacks
Reverse Engineering
Exploitation Tools
Sniffing and Spoofing
Post Exploitation
Forensics
Reporting Tools
Social Engineering Tools

There are really only one or two tools that can match it but none with the number of resources available to help you use them.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you are running it on bare metal it can be pain to get other applications to run inside Kali. This isn't really a shortycoming of the distribution it's just the way it is designed to be used. It's much better when run from a VM.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm learning about cyber security and it provideds a pre-built set of tools that I can work with and I don't need to reinvent the wheel cobbling together nmy own system.

What do you dislike about the product?

Kali Linux as a operating system

  • February 21, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's vast pre-installed applications related to pen-testing allows us to save time in searching and downloading applications. No need to download applications. Very good for using as live on USB and works as intended on it.
What do you dislike about the product?
A little bit heavier compared to some other linux distro and while very good for a experienced user, can be bad for a new user with no experience with it as it's easy to mistakenly do something you didn't intend to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an Information Security student, it allows me to have a dedicated system just for practicing hacking and improving my skills. It already having the tools I need saves me when I need to re-install it in case of a problem as I will not have to download every software I use again. THis is my personal opinion but before Kali, i had used different Os like Parrot, Ubuntu etc and Kali seems to suit my personal needs better

Amazing OS with great tool arsenal

  • February 16, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
More stable performance as a derivative of Debian-based Linux
Kali Linux is more in sync with the Debian repository up to 4 times a day, so it will update the latest Debian packages and fix security bugs.
Kali Linux is equipped with more than 300 hacking and penetration testing tools. The hacking and Pentest tools are the same as the previous Backtrack.
Free, because Linux Users are never charged a penny
Immune to virus attacks because the security system is high
Dynamic display and very comfortable to wear
Kali Linux is equipped with an FHS complaint system that allows Linux Users to quickly find libraries, binary files and support files.
What do you dislike about the product?
No issues with it. Great OS that is regularly updated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The open-source nature of software improves many Linux products, including Kali Linux. As a result, anyone with the system's access may view the codes. We can also maintain track of the code at each level thanks to the open development tree.

The Ultimate Tool for Cybersecurity and Penetration Testing

  • January 20, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Kali Linux for the past 4 years for cybersecurity purposes and I am extremely impressed with its capabilities. The collection of tools and features included in the distribution make it an invaluable resource for penetration testing and ethical hacking. The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, which is a plus for those who are new to the field. Additionally, the community support and resources available online are extensive and always up-to-date.

Another great feature of Kali Linux is the customizability it offers. The operating system can be customized to suit your specific needs, whether you are a novice or an experienced user. This allows you to tailor your environment to your specific workflow and preferences.

In addition, Kali Linux is also lightweight and fast, which is great for running on older or low-spec machines. This makes it a great option for those who are just starting out and don't want to invest in expensive hardware.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing to dislike about kali Linux. It is the best Linux distro for any cybersecurity professional.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the things I love about Kali Linux is a large number of pre-installed penetration testing and ethical hacking tools. It has everything you need to get started with ethical hacking and penetration testing, including tools for network mapping, vulnerability scanning, password cracking, and more. The distribution is also constantly updated with new and improved tools, which ensures that you always have access to the latest and greatest resources.
