Advanced Java Microproject

Kali Linux is a Debian-derived Linux distribution primarily designed for penetration testing and digital forensics. It contains over 300 security and forensics tools and is maintained by Offensive Security. Kali Linux traces its lineage from Knoppix and evolved from distributions like BackTrack to focus on hacking and penetration testing. It is a customizable, open source, and free operating system that can be run natively, as a live boot, or within a virtual machine on computers and some ARM-based devices.
