4.5/5
What do you like best about Kali Linux?

In my opinion, Kali Linux is very helpful when it comes to tools. In Kali Linux, some amazing tools are preinstalled, which helps users save lots of time. For penetration testing, I used tools like wireshark, tcp dump, burpsuit, etc. This tool helps me in my work. The best thing about Kali is that it's anominous and user-friendly.
