What do you need to know about Kali Linux?

Kali Linux is intended to be used for security-related tasks. The last thing you want is the tools you will use to be somehow compromised. So, after having downloaded the Kali Image, you should check the SHA-256 fingerprint of the file and compare it with the one provided on the download site.

Is there a problem with Kali on Fedora?

Again, this is not a Kali-specific issue: if you install penetration testing tools on Fedora or Linux Mint, and try random things with them, you may end up in the same trouble. Kali just makes that easier. The first thing you can see on the Kali login screen is that motto: “The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear”.

Is it safe to use Kali Linux for penetration testing?

Somewhat in the same spirit, Kali Linux is packed with penetration testing tools: some of them are GUI tools, others are CLI tools. In both cases, it might be tempting to “toy” with them more or less at random. But some commands may potentially be harmful to your home network.

Can you install Debian services on Kali Linux?

To achieve that goal, the default settings of Kali Linux disable many services that would be enabled on a genuine Debian system. But, again, because Kali Linux is based on Debian, provided you enable the required packages, you should be able to install the services you want.
