What is Kali? How to “install” Kali Linux from Debian

You know what Kali Linux does or what it's good for - but what is it ? Kali is a Linux Distro based on Debian. In this video I show how to build Kali from Debian. We will change the apt installation sources from Debian to Kali and hence tell the Linux distribution to pull everything from the Kali apt repositories. We will then install all the apt packages that make Kali Kali, i.e. kali-defaults, the kali-desktop package etc. On a side note, I'll show how to run X11 apps over ssh plus quickly talk about WSL2 on Windows 11. We will chose an alternate desktop environment (i.e. rather than using xfce4 we will use mate) #kalilinux #x11 #linux #debian
