Kali Linux, Successor of the BackTrack Penetration Testing Distro, Launched

mask.of.sanity writes "Kali, the sixth installment of the BackTrack operating system has been launched. The platform is a favorite of hackers and penetration testers and has been entirely rebuilt to become more secure, transparent and customizable. Metasploit too has been rebuilt to be more stable with an optional noob-friendly interface. Kali even works on ARM devices and comes ready to go for your Raspberry Pi." The big new feature is that it's been repackaged as a flavor of Debian, instead of using their own custom packaging magic.

IPX over Kali

[tepples]

The last time I checked, Kali [wikipedia.org] was some sort of VPN to tunnel IPX (NetWare protocol) over IP. It appears to have been popular when Warcraft II was around. Oh well, there are only so many names for things.

Sounds like a movie

Penetration testing with a Raspberry pi, sounds like a movie to me.

Re:FFS stick with one name.

Pick one damn name and stick with it.

Sounds like they need to stop backtracking on names.

Am I dating myself? Sigh..

It depends. Is one of your hands your new girlfriend? If yes, then you are dating yourself.
