    I just found Kali Linux[^], which (apparently) is 'The most advanced penetration testing distribution, ever'. It looks quite interesting, TBH.

    What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? --- The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

        meh, it's just linux with a bunch of programs pre-installed. You can probably set up the same thing in just about any other linux distro.

            It's actually a successor to Backtrack, Backtrack isn't actively developed anymore

              Too bad. BackTrack came in useful a couple of years back when I did a vulnerability scan of one of our robotic products. These days the nearest I get to dodgy stuff is Tails. Here in the UK Pirate Bay is behind the Great Bacon Firewall, but Tails goes through that like a politician's teeth. Just don't let the Daily Mail photograph you doing it.

                Kali is almost identical to BackTrack, it is "the rebirth of BackTrack". From my playing around it has all the same applications installed but is on a new kernel and with update apps. They really do appear to be continuing the legacy of BackTrack

                  There are a lot of free (or pirate-able) documents for Kali Linux if you're interested in learning more about it. I'd recommend "Kali Linux - Assuring Security by Penetration Testing" by Lee Allen or "Mastering Kali Linux for Advanced Penetration Testing" by Robert Beggs.

                    Backtrack had Martin Muench involved, the same guy who sells spyware (Finfisher) to governments that kill their citizens. I wouldn't trust either distro. Just install the tools you need from whatever distro you prefer.
