 Origin of an OS: From UNIX to Kali Linux
 Linux Architectures and Ubiquity
 What is Kali and why should I use it?
 Kali’s New Features
 Kali’s Toolkit
 Installing Kali
 Summary
 1968: E.W Dijkstra develops MULTICS (Multiplexed
Information and Computing Service) in the Netherlands
 1969: Bell telephone (AT&T) lab researcher Ken
Thompson developed a new system using MULTICS as
part of a team. His coworker Brian Kernighan dubbed it
UNICS (UNiplexed Information and Computing
Service). It was later changed to UNIX.
 Milestone: The UNIX operating system was born.
 1969-1973: Bell Telephone researcher Dennis Richie
develops the C language as a systems programming
language for UNIX.
 1970s: UNIX versions 6 and 7 were developed, first in
B and Assembly than C. Originally for academic use,
later sold to vendors.
 1987: A Unix-like system based on microkernel design
known as MINIX was developed.
 Milestone: C language developed.
 1980s-1990s: The “UNIX Wars” occur, vendors
struggle to standardize UNIX.
 1991:Linus Torvalds developed a new operating system
called Linux, which is similar to MINIX.
 1990s-Today: Various UNIX and UNIX/Linux-like
distributions are released, such as: GNU, OS X,
Debian, and Ubuntu.
 Milestone: Linux was born.
 2006: Linux distribution BackTrack was released by
Offensive Security. It becomes the definitive Penetration
Testing platform available.
 2012: The final BackTrack version, Backtrack 5 R3, is
released.
 2013: Kali Linux, a.k.a. BackTrack 6, is released by
Offensive Security.
 Milestones: BackTrack is born, then Kali.
 Kali Linux is an advanced Penetration Testing
and Security Auditing Linux distribution
(distro). Named after a Hindu god.
 It was designed to replace the BackTrack
Linux distro.
 A Linux distro is a operating system based off
the Linux kernel.
 Think Windows NT and all the Windows
distributions (XP, Vista, 7, 8, etc.)
 Linux is itself based off the UNIX kernel.
 UNIX > Linux > BackTrack > Kali.
 It is FREE!!!!!
 300+ applications, from password crackers to
digital forensics software.
 Vast wireless device support (ARM processors).
 Completely Customizable.
 Multilingual Support.
 Secure Development Environment.
 Open source Git tree.
 Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) Compliant.
 Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG) secure signed packages
and repos.
 Switched from Ubuntu to Debian.
 FHS and Debian compliant.
 Can now bootstrap and customize Kali ISOs.
 Streaming security and package updates from
Debian.
 Expanded ARM development.
 Easy upgrade to future versions.
 Customizable desktop environment.
Automatable Kali Installations.
 Streamlined Development Process.
 Long Term Tool Packaging and Maintenance.
 Metasploit
 Nmap
 Wireshark
 Aircrack-ng
 John the Ripper
 CaseFile
 THC-Hydra
 Arduino
 diStorm3
 Sqlninja
 Proxy Strike
 Ghost Phisher
 CryptCat
 WebScarab
 Android-sdk
 Maskprocessor
 SIPArmyKnife
 FERN Wi-Fi Cracker
Via Physical Media Via Digital Media
 Burn to a live disk,
insert into disk drive,
install.
 Format a flash drive,
install Kali Linux on it,
insert into a computer,
at BIOS screen select
boot from USB.
 Download VMware or
other similar software,
create a virtual machine,
download and install Kali
Linux onto virtual
machine.
 Use a Preboot eXecution
Environment (PXE) to
install and boot Kali
Linux from a
server/client network.
 Bell Telephone (AT&T)’s UNIX > Linus
Torvalds's Linux > Offensive Security’s Linux
Distribution BackTrack > Kali Linux a.k.a.
BackTrack 6.
 Kali is the premier operating system for
Penetration Testing and other related uses.
 Kali was built from the ground up to replace
BackTrack.
 There are many platforms and installation
methods that are Kali-compatible.
