Mati Aharoni and Deavon Kearns are the core developers of Kali Linux.

This makes ethical hacking using Kali Linux a simplified task. Previously known as Backtrack, Kali Linux advertises itself as a more polished successor with more testing-centric tools, unlike Backtrack which had multiple tools that would serve the same purpose, in turn, making it jampacked with unnecessary utilities. The presence of a plethora of tools that come pre-installed with Kali transforms it into an ethical hacker’s swiss-knife. It is a meticulously crafted OS that specifically caters to the likes of network analysts & penetration testers.

Kali Linux is a Debian-based Linux distribution.
