Some tools are in different places, but in general, Kali is very similar to BackTrack. One of the first things you may notice different about Kali is that it is built on Debian Linux instead of Ubuntu Linux. This won't create dramatic differences, but some subtle ones.</div> <section style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: "slabo 27px", "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; letter-spacing: 0.17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-feature-settings: 'kern' 1; font-kerning: normal; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; vertical-align: baseline; word-spacing: 0.1em; word-wrap: break-word;"> One of the reasons that the folks at Offensive Security gave for converting from Ubuntu to Debian is that they are not comfortable with the direction that Ubuntu is going. BackTrack was built on Ubuntu 10.04 and that Ubuntu release was scheduled for non-support. That would have left BackTrack without an Ubuntu release they were both comfortable with and had support.</div> <aside class="whtaph-rightbox whtaph-300" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px -60px;

When we pull it down, you can see the "Kali Linux" menu about midway down. That is where we will start most of our hacks (remember, though, that one of the advantages of Kali is that we can invoke <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px;
