Kali Linux Features

It is free (as in beer) and always will be: Kali Linux is completely free of charge and always will be. You will never, ever have to pay for Kali Linux.
Features an open source Git tree: The Kali Linux team is committed to the open source development model and our development tree is available for all to see. All of the source code which goes into Kali Linux is available for anyone who wants to tweak or rebuild packages to suit their specific needs.
Compliant with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard: Since this distribution adheres to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, Linux users can easily locate binaries, support files, libraries, and so on.
Has wide-ranging support for devices: Kali supports a wide variety of hardware and as many wireless devices as possible, including USB-based devices.
Includes a custom kernel that is patched for injection: As penetration testers, the development team often needs to do wireless assessments, so our kernel has the latest injection patches included.
Developed in a secure environment: The Kali Linux team is a small group of individuals and they are the only ones trusted to commit packages and interact with the repositories. All changes to the distribution are done with multiple secure protocols.
Has GPG signed packages and repositories: Every package in Kali Linux is signed by each individual developer who built and committed it, and the repositories subsequently sign the packages as well.
Features multi-language support: Although penetration tools tend to be written in English, we have ensured that Kali includes true multilingual support. This allows more users to operate in their native language and locate the tools that they need for the job.
Completely customizable: We thoroughly understand that not everyone will agree with our design decisions, so we have made it as easy as possible for our more adventurous users to customize Kali Linux to their liking, all the way down to the kernel.
