Kali Linux (formerly known as BackTrack) is an Debian-based distribution with a collection of security and forensics tools. It features timely security updates, support for the ARM architecture, a choice of four popular desktop environments, and seamless upgrades to newer versions.
Kali Linux is a Debian Testing-based distribution which includes many forensic and data recovery tools. The distribution uses a rolling release model for updates with Kali Linux 2016.2 providing the most recent snapshot of packages. "During these past few months, weve been busy adding new relevant tools to Kali as well as fixing various bugs and implementing OS enhancements. For example, something as simple as adding HTTPS support in Busybox now allows us to preseed Kali installations securely over SSL. This is a quick and cool feature to speed up your installations and make them (almost) unattended, even if you dont have a custom built ISO. To set a preseed file during an install process, choose the install option, then hit Tab and enter the preseed directive, together with a URL pointing to your actual preseed file.
