Kali Linux?

I always thought most penetration testing distros were too bloated, BackTrack included.

I don't really understand the motivation behind this, though. BackTrack has never really declined in popularity.

I say lets make our own Debian-based OS for Evilzone community. Lets make the difference out there.

No, in my opinion, it should be a highly minimal distribution. A simple stacking window manager with a terminal (rxvt or something), a browser, IRC client, tools and books. Based on Arch or Slack.

In fact, I've been meaning to do this for a while. Might release something one day.

Not a bad idea, I'm just now getting around to actually setting up and configuring my arch setup. I think we should get the Ezine idea up and moving, and then come back to this, because I really do like the idea.

Why did they change the name??? I have a fucking tattoo of backtrack on my back -.- it's got the logo with the text "< Back | Track >" inside the tail of the dragon

Well at least like, 20 years from now it will be a really really obscure reference and only the oldschool incrowd will know what it is.

Seems like the site was already launched:
http://www.kalilinux.net/

Oh, wait... must be unofficial.

Edit: Yup, it's not real. Some forum with it's name.

I don't think its fake.

Not fake, but it isn't the official web site. It says there that they are an unofficial community.

Yes, it's now corrected. Thank you and parad0x for the warning.
I've found out the official site is already reserved as www.kali-linux.org, but the DNS server is resolving requests as 0.0.0.0.

Just heard a rumor about the launch date: 9th March.

I don't really get why ppl hate backtrack its a great distro for trying new tools.
You cant know every way to break in to a system but with backtrack you will get some tools to try out so you know that it could be possible to go that way as well.
ofc it takes a lot of time to actually learn how to do things if you don't want to be a skid.
and you will never use all of the tools or even half of them, but the knowledge that they are there and to try them out will make you a better "hacker".
and yes the best would be to compile yourself on your system and its not hard to do, but its harder and takes more time to know if there's a tool for it sometimes or know how its done.


just my 2c

[Corrupted_Fear]

I agree with relax, I actually pretty much learned on backtrack. I was a skid, as most starters are, and thought I was going to be EP1C PWNZR with my new linux hack tool (even though I had no idea to use it). So I sat down, and learned every tool that came with instructions. Remember them all? haha no. but it introduced me to several principles, methods  and all kinds of other stuff that eventually led me into what I am today.

Tomorrow? Seriously? Have some sauce for that, cause if that's true I have to change my schedule for this weekend?

[Snayler]

Well, the guy that said it, said he saw it announced on wikipedia, on the release dates section. When I went there, there was nothing about Kali, or 9th March, so I guess either the guy was trolling or he really saw that and it was someone else trolling (mind that anyone can edit a wikipedia entry). Or maybe it is all truth, who knows?
