AFAIK Kali is not as simple as Debian + some pentest apps and fancy graphics, but also has laxer firewall and security permissions to make sure all pentest apps will run properly, meaning you yourself are now vulnerable when running it, which is why it's normally run in a VM during engagements, and not something that you daily drive and host personal information on, like SSH keys or browser cookies.
- eggy 4y agoYou are right, but I only use it for hacking. It's amazing how many people freak out when you say you have it as the main boot OS on a laptop. I have been programming since 1978 (Commodore PET 2001), and started hacking back in 1987 in terms of networking, phones, etc. As I wrote above, my work and personal computers are Windows and Mac and another Debian box.
