But to install the Kali Linux tools on our Ubuntu, we will only use the first two. Once the application is launched, we will be shown a list of 5 options. Once installed we are going to launch the script with the command: sudo katoolin To install Katoolin from our team from GitHub we just have to open the terminal and add the following script to it: sudo su git clone & cp katoolin/katoolin.py /usr/bin/katoolin chmod +x /usr/bin/katoolin sudo katoolin Kali Linux can be used from a Live CD, live-usb and it can also be installed as the main operating system, although as I have already said this is highly inadvisable. The great asset of Kali Linux is that it brings pre-installed more than 600 programs including: Nmap (a port scanner), Wireshark (a sniffer), John the Ripper (a password cracker) and the Aircrack-ng suite (software for security tests in wireless networks) among many others. We could consider it as the predecessor of Kali Linux. This team has developed the distribution from the rewrite of BackTrack. This distribution is maintained by Offensive Security Ltd.

What is Kali Linux?įor those who do not know yet, Kali Linux is a distribution based on Debian GNU / Linux designed mainly for the audit and computer security in general. As is to be expected, this will allow us to avoid having to compile one by one, since it is too laborious work. This lists the tools by categories and allows us to choose which ones to install in our system in a simple way. Many people download Kali linux and don't use half of its tools, so why not install only the tools we need? Katoolin is an installation script made by Lionsec. As an operating system to use on a daily basis, it leaves a lot to be desired, in my view. Many users are looking for the best way to install the Kali Linux tools, which each one needs in a simple way and without having to install the distribution to be able to use them. Besides installing the Kali linux tools, Katoolin also allows to install its repositories, its menu and a classic menu for Unity users.

Katoolin has been developed in Python and it's freely available on Github for Ubuntu or Linux Mint.
