![]() ![]() But, right now we’re trying to get Kali running on a PC. They are relevant when installing Kali on ARM hardware devices (like Android smartphones and tablets). The download is around 3GB in size.īelow on that page you’ll see two more versions, ARMEL and ARMHF. (If you have 4GB or less RAM, 32 bit or 64 bit doesn’t make a difference). If you’re not sure, you may simply download the 32-bit version which works on all systems. If your architecture (OS and processor) are 64 bit, download the 64 bit one. Check out the properties page of your ‘My Computer’. There are quite a few options, the only ones you need to worry about are 64 bit or 32 bit and torrent or direct download. ![]() If you’ve installed Backtrack earlier, the installation process of Kali is practically identical. The last thing a hacker needs is to get hacked him/herself. But now that Backtrack is no longer going to update, vulnerabilities will start popping up in the OS which will be fixed in Kali but not Backtrack. There’s no game changer advantage of Kali over Backtrack. (Also now that backtrack has no future, we don’t have that much of a choice) All tool directories are in the PATH variable, so any tool can be called from anywhere.A build specifically designed for the ARM architecture (read: ‘android smarphones compatible’).Regular updates, updated tools like Metasploit, p0f etc.The advantages of Using Kali Over BackTrack The developers are the same, the functionality is almost the same and the GUI change is definitely for the better. Kali can be thought of as the next iteration of Backtrack. Plus, you don’t need to fill your head with unnecessary information. The Debian vs Ubuntu debate is a whole other topic, so we’re not getting into that. ![]() One major difference beginners may not notice is that Kali is built on Debian Linux instead of Ubuntu Linux. The tools are in different places but it shouldn’t take long to get used to. At first look, you’ll probably notice the slight GUI change. Like I said, Kali is not so different than Backtrack. So, here we’ll be taking a brief look at the two operating systems, their differences and advantages of Kali over Backtrack and finally how to install Kali. Backtrack ruled the hacking universe for nearly 8 years (released in 2006) and now the torch is in the hands of Kali. But still, it’s always better to use up to date software, nobody knows that better than us hackers. If you prefer to keep using Backtrack, you’re not exactly missing out on something huge (yet). Kali is the like the next revamped version of BackTrack. In a nutshell, mathematics tells us the difference between windows 8 and windows 8.1 is 0.1, Similarly, Backtrack and Kali are not that different. Although Backtrack is still available through torrents, it’s better to move on to newer and better things, namely, Kali. This was mainly due to the release of Kali 1.0.6 which fixed majority of the bugs in the OS. Around April 2014, officially stopped supporting backtrack downloads. ![]()
