Kali Linux: A Hacker’s First Preference

Kali Linux

Kali Linux is an operating system that is used by penetration testers. Kali Linux is specially used by hackers because it is a free open-source operating system, it has over 600+ tools and security analytics.

Its code is available on git and it has multi language support so that anyone can easy access the OS in their native language.

Basically, Kali Linux is based on Debian. And kali is a flavour of Linux, Linux also has another different flavour like Gentoo, Mint Linux etc.

It is a Command Line Interface (CLI) but it has also Graphical User Interface (GUI) as well.

It is a command-based OS. So, you have to go through the Linux so that you’ll be able to learn the commands. You can also use the interface to do some tasks in operating system but doing stuff with command will help you a lot in building skills.

Some of the basic Commands are: -

man — This command is used to read the manual of a tool. man, here stands for manual.

ls — This command is used to list the items of current directory you are in.

pwd — This command will tell you that in which directory you are working. Here pwd stands for present working directory.

mv — This command is used to move a file or folder.

cp — This command is used to copy a file or a folder.

There are also many commands like these.

No antivirus is required in Linux because, security of Linux is very high end that’s why many companies use this type of operating system.

So that’s it. If I’ll go deeper in Linux then a book can be written.

Some best books for start in Kali Linux are:
