Why hackers love Kali Linux ?

  1. Pre-installed Hacking Tools
    • Tools for scanning, exploiting, password cracking, wireless attacks, forensics, etc.
    • Example:
      • nmap (network scanning)
      • metasploit (exploits & payloads)
      • aircrack-ng (Wi-Fi hacking)
  2. Free & Open Source
    • Anyone can download and use it legally.
  3. Customization & Flexibility
    • Based on Debian, so users can tweak it however they want.
  4. Live Boot Feature
    • You can run it from a USB without installing it, leaving no traces on the computer.
  5. Community & Support
    • Big community of security researchers, so new exploits and updates arrive quickly.
  6. Stealth & Power
    • Has anonymity tools like Tor, proxychains, VPNs, making it harder to trace hackers.

⚖️ Important Note:

  • Ethical Hackers use Kali Linux to test and secure systems.
  • Black-hat Hackers misuse it for illegal hacking.
  • The OS itself is not illegal, but activities done with it can be.
