Kali Linux Revealed: Mastering the Penetration Testing Distribution

Kali Linux has not only become the information security professional's platform of choice, but evolved into an industrial-grade, and world-class operating system distribution--mature, secure, and enterprise-ready.

Through the decade-long development process, Muts and his team, along with countless volunteers from the hacker community, have taken on the burden of streamlining and organizing our work environment, freeing us from much of the drudgery. They provided a secure and reliable foundation, allowing us to concentrate on securing our digital world.

An amazing community has built up around Kali Linux. Every month, more than 300,000 of us download a version of Kali. We come together in online and real-world training rooms and grind through the sprawling Offensive Security Penetration Testing Labs, pursuing the near-legendary Offensive Security certifications. We come together on the Kali forums, some 40,000 strong, and hundreds of us at a time can be found on the Kali IRC channel. We gather at conferences and attend Kali Dojos to learn from the developers themselves how to best leverage Kali.

However, the Kali team has never released an official Kali Linux manual, until now.

In this book, we'll focus on the Kali Linux platform itself, and help you understand and maximize Kali from the ground up. The developers will walk you through Kali Linux features and fundamentals, provide a crash course in basic Linux commands and concepts, and then walk you through the most common Kali Linux installation scenarios. You'll learn how to configure, troubleshoot and secure Kali Linux and then dive into the powerful Debian package manager. Throughout this expansive section, you'll learn how to install and configure packages, how to update and upgrade your Kali installation, and how to create your own custom packages. Then you'll learn how to deploy your custom installation across massive enterprise networks. Finally, you'll be guided through advanced topics such as kernel compilation, custom ISO creation, industrial-strength encryption, and even how to install crypto kill switches to safeguard your sensitive information.

Whether you're a veteran or an absolute n00b, this is the best place to start with Kali Linux, the security professional's platform of choice.

Kali Linux不僅成為資訊安全專業人士首選的平台，還發展成為一個工業級和世界級的作業系統發行版，成熟、安全且適用於企業。

在長達十年的開發過程中，Muts和他的團隊以及來自駭客社區的無數志願者承擔了簡化和組織我們工作環境的負擔，使我們擺脫了許多乏味的工作。他們提供了一個安全可靠的基礎，使我們能夠專注於保護我們的數字世界。

一個令人驚嘆的社區已經圍繞著Kali Linux建立起來。每個月，超過30萬人下載Kali的版本。我們在線上和現實世界的培訓室中聚集在一起，在Offensive Security滲透測試實驗室中努力，追求近乎傳奇的Offensive Security認證。我們在Kali論壇上聚集，有著4萬多人，每次可以有數百人在Kali IRC頻道上找到。我們在會議上聚集，參加Kali Dojos，向開發人員本人學習如何最好地利用Kali。

然而，Kali團隊從未發布過官方的Kali Linux手冊，直到現在。

在這本書中，我們將專注於Kali Linux平台本身，並幫助您從頭開始了解和最大化利用Kali。開發人員將引導您了解Kali Linux的功能和基礎知識，提供基本Linux命令和概念的速成課程，然後引導您完成最常見的Kali Linux安裝場景。您將學習如何配置、疑難排解和保護Kali Linux，然後深入研究強大的Debian套件管理器。在這個廣泛的部分中，您將學習如何安裝和配置套件，如何更新和升級Kali安裝，以及如何創建自己的自定義套件。然後，您將學習如何在大型企業網絡中部署自定義安裝。最後，您將被引導進行高級主題，如內核編譯、自定義ISO創建、工業級加密，甚至如何安裝加密殺手開關以保護您的敏感信息。

無論您是老手還是完全的新手，這是開始使用Kali Linux的最佳地點，這是安全專業人士首選的平台。
