Kali Linux 1.0.9a Multilingual
From the creators of BackTrack comes Kali Linux, the most advanced and versatile penetration testing distribution ever created. We have a whole set of amazing features lined up in our security distribution, geared at streamlining the penetration testing experience.
Kali is a Linux distribution based on Debian GNU / Linux, designed for computer forensics and computer security created and maintained by Offensive Security. It is considered the successor of BackTrack Linux.
Kali gives users easy access to a large collection of tools for security from Port scanning to password crackers. It supports Live CD and Live USB, this feature allows users to start Kali directly from CD / USB without the need for installation, although in the options there is the possibility of installation on the hard disk. It is a supported platform for the Metasploit Framework Metasploit Project, a tool for developing and executing exploit to remote machines. It also contains security programs Wireshark, John the Ripper, Nmap and Aircrack-ng.
On the official website we can download from the download page images for VMWare Player and an extensive list of ARM chipsets for each of which we flashable image.
Kali at first glance presents a desktop rather special: it is not designed to be used every day, where the user experience must somehow frustrate the user just combining the features even a minimum of eyecandy to satisfy the eye, the 'graphical environment is a session of GNOME Shell in fallback mode, with a very traditional menu at the top where we can find all the tools included in the distribution, and the text-mode (where possible graphics). Despite this facility, a lot of the software included in Kali is accessible from the command line and completely accessible from the terminal.
The version 1.0.9a released October 6, 2014 is the latest version.

Kali Linux originated as a sort of wish list compiled by programmers and software developers Offensive. This whish list was drawn up at a time when Aharoni and Moser sat down at the table and began to think of all the security tools and instruments to be included in the sixth official release of BackTrack. The two quickly realized that to be able to implement all of the software infrastructure that had stood for four years and decided it was impossible to turn the page.
That's how the idea of a new Linux distribution that would allow them to work with less constraints and programming tools more powerful and intuitive.
Based on Debian instead of Ubuntu Linux Kali is one of the best tools in the hands of the experts in security of computer systems and networks. In addition to operating an ecosystem agile and powerful at the same time, the Kali makes available to industry experts a comprehensive suite of programs and tools to test any network or computer system. Integrate programs such as nmap (port scanner), Wireshark (tool for sniffing packets), John the ripper (to decrypt system passwords and network) and Aircrack-ng (program for penetration testing of wireless networks).
Kali Linux, open source distribution, is distributed in both the 32-bit version in both the 64-bit version can be installed on any storage media and mass function as a live CD and live USB. The distribution also has been designed for the ARM architecture, so it can be used on mini-computers like Raspberry Pi.
Among the most interesting features of Kali Linux are, without a doubt, the possibility of creating customized versions, choosing items and tools that are considered most suitable for their needs.
So, instead of being a "normal" Linux distribution, Kali can be considered for all purposes a platform for information security, flexible and fully customizable. The user (the one a bit 'more advanced, to be honest) can choose which tool or program to install from the more than 300 available, creating a distribution that in turn can be used to encrypt the contents of an entire hard disk, carry out penetration testing of computer systems and computer networks of all kinds (LAN but not limited to) create a security platform to protect information systems of medium size.
