Ethical hackers prefer Kali Linux because:

  • Pre-installed tools: It comes with 600+ penetration testing tools (e.g., Nmap, Metasploit, Burp Suite) ready to use.
  • Optimized for security tasks: Unlike general Linux distros, Kali is streamlined for hacking, reducing setup time.
  • Privacy & anonymity: Supports live booting from USB, TOR, and VPNs to avoid detection.
  • Low system requirements: Runs well on older hardware, making it accessible.
  • Open-source & customizable: Users can modify tools and workflows as needed.

Yes, but with caution: Kali is safe if used ethically, but beginners should:

  • Avoid using it as a daily OS (risk of accidental misuse).
  • Use virtual machines (e.g., VirtualBox) to isolate testing environments.
  • Follow legal guidelines to prevent unauthorized hacking.

  • Minimum: 2GB RAM, 20GB disk space.
  • Recommended: 4 GB+ RAM for smoother performance.

Both are pentesting distros, but: 

  • Kali is more tool-rich and industry-standard. 
  • Parrots OS focuses on privacy and includes sandboxing. 

  • Start with basic Linux commands and network fundamentals.
  • Progress to hands-on labs (e.g., Nmap scans, Metasploit exploits).
  • Enroll in our interactive Kali Linux penetration testing course for guided learning.

Absolutely! It’s widely used in certifications like CEH and OSCP.
