Review:

From the creators of BackTrack comes Kali Linux, the most advanced and versatile penetration testing distribution ever created. We have a whole set of amazing features lined up in our security distribution, geared at streamlining the penetration testing experience.

Talking about network security and penetration testing, there are 3 kind of users/ hackers that will use these security tools. 

1) Blackhat hackers - They are the cyber criminal/ terrorist which are out to destroy/ damage whatever they can get their hands on

2) Whitehat hackers - They are paid to perform ethical hacking/ penetration testing.

3) Greyhat hackers - Combination of both Whitehat and Blackhat. Could be a network security specialist by day and cyber criminal by night.

Security Tools Highlights:

maltego - Reporting tools/ evidence management
nmap - Information analysis/ OS fingerprinting
w3af - Web vulnerability scanner
wireshark Sniffing/ spoofing/ network sniffer/ traffic analysis
zenmap  - GUI version of nmap

Note:

Pentest without obtaining written consent/ approval from network/ server owner/ company is considered a cyber crime which is an arrestable offence. The author is not responsible for any harms or damages that is caused from using this software. Use at your own risk.
