Kali Linux by BackTrack Team With 300+ Hacking Tools

Seven years of developing BackTrack Linux has taught us a significant amount about what we, and the security community, think a penetration testing distribution should look like. We’ve taken all of this knowledge and experience and implemented it in our “next generation” penetration testing distribution.

After a year of silent development, we are incredibly proud to announce the release and public availability of “Kali Linux“, the most advanced, robust, and stable penetration testing distribution to date.


Kali is a more mature, secure, and enterprise-ready version of BackTrack Linux. Trying to list all the new features and possibilities that are now available in Kali would be an impossible task on this single page. We therefore invite you to visit our new Kali Linux Website and Kali Linux Documentation site to experience the goodness of Kali for yourself.


We are extremely excited about the future of the distribution and we can’t wait to see what the BackTrack community will do with Kali. Sign up in the new Kali Forums and join us in IRC in #kali-linux on irc.freenode.net and help us usher in this new era.
