Reviewing Kali Linux – the distro for security geeks (BinaryTides)

BinaryTides reviews the security-oriented Kali Linux distribution. Kali is the latest version of the BackTrack distribution (we looked at BackTrack 4 in 2010), which is now based on Debian rather than Ubuntu. The review looks at the distribution itself and the "top ten" security packages that come with it. "The "Applications > Kali Linux" menu has a separate list for the top 10 security tools. These are the most useful, popular and featureful tools that find immense application in various kinds of tasks related to security like penetration testing, security analysis, application testing etc. Most of the tools are the best in their fields with no other similar equivalent or alternative."
