@TrK I just think of it out of nowhere, as you said Kali Linux use for penetration and security so I think you can use this OS also to counter Kali Linux user to penetrate you, it's like Kali Linux vs Kali Linux what do you think?.

@Dudi Correct me if I'm wrong as far as I know Ubuntu uses high resources compare to Debian and Centos and I know Debian is the most use low resources of the 3.

Kali isn't based on backtrack. It's based on Debian.
Backtrack is based on ubuntu.

The developers are still the same afaik.
It's a pen testing OS and I use it as my main Linux OS for my pc. (I have other distros of linux)
Software support is good since it uses debian.

@Vuluts
No script kiddie uses kali to pentrate a personal computer lol. That would be like 1 in a million chances. The programs in kali that is used to oenetrate stuff over the internet isn't thay hard to patch tho

Also Ubunu does use more resources then Debian and CentOS
It's more bloated. I suggest CentOS for >512mb ram servers tho. More stable.

@Conan but Kali Linux is the continuation of Backtrack right? instead of continuing it's name to Backtrack 6 they just change it to Kali Linux and change it's distro based OS.

with Kali Linux you have many tools ate your disposal ,I consider it having more tools than any other hacking distro out there ,Kali has the power to hack and crack many many gadgets ,what will limit you is your computer programming background (Perl,python) ,If you can write exploits for yourself consider your self hacking any gadget literally ,this means hacking any OS,wed-cams,IP cameras ,Cars,social media accounts ,cracking passwords ,high-jacking sessions,being man in the middle(Phishing),SQL injections and the list goes on ,i have even managed to script out a way to tunnel my internet and access full bandwidth from my ISP ,it doesn't matter if you have Kali,Back-box,Pen-too,samurai,backtrack,red hat ,your proficiency to the tools and your ability to manipulate them matter's a lot this is where a scripting language comes in handy

Mostly I have heard that people use this distro for hacking WiFi passwords for example and bigger things as well, never really tried myself or saw it available anywhere, but you can find tutorials on kali linux on the internet.

Not only these but this is widey used by hackers to hack. Like bruteforce or dictionary attack.

Actually, it has lot's of used when it come's in IT world even if it's in good or bad, this will depend on you how you will use it.

It's not a distro 'for hackers'. It's used the security and penetrating but it got popular with skiddies. Any OS can be unethical if you want it to be. You can hack with Windows if you really wanted to.

Yup! using Windows can used for hacking too but Linux is much more flexible like "Kali" to do this kind of things.

I had used kali linux in virtual box but never tried the tools in kali..It felt the same like other linux distros though it had got a nice look and other useful things.As a subject of my current semester I am trying various distros in virtual box covering the commands.
