Kali Linux has over 600 preinstalled penetration testing programs, including Armitage (a graphical cyber attack management tool), Nmap (a port scanner), Wireshark (a packet analyzer), John the Ripper password cracker, Aircrack-ng (a software suite for penetration-testing wireless LANs , Burp suite and OWASP ZAP web application security scanners ] and a lot ...
Kali Linux can run natively when installed on a computer's hard disk, can be booted from a live CD or live USB, or it can run within a virtual machine. It is a supported platform of the Metasploit Project's Metasploit Framework, a tool for developing and executing security exploits

It was developed by Mati Aharoni and Devon Kearns of Offensive Security through the rewrite of BackTrack, their previous information security testing Linux distribution based on Knoppix. The third core developer, Raphaël Hertzog, joined them as a Debian expert

Kali Linux is based on the Debian Testing branch. Most packages Kali uses are imported from the Debian repositories

The Kali Linux project began quietly in 2012, when Offensive Security decided that they wanted to replace their venerable BackTrack Linux project, which was manually maintained, with something that could become a genuine Debian derivative, complete with all of the required infrastructure and improved packaging techniques. The decision was made to build Kali on top of the Debian distribution because it is well known for its quality, stability, and wide selection of available software.

The first release (version 1.0) happened one year later, in March 2013, and was based on Debian 7 “Wheezy”, Debian’s stable distribution at the time. In that first year of development, they packaged hundreds of pen-testing-related applications and built the infrastructure. Even though the number of applications is significant, the application list has been meticulously curated, dropping applications that no longer worked or that duplicated features already available in better programs.

During the two years following version 1.0, Kali released many incremental updates, expanding the range of available applications and improving hardware support, thanks to newer kernel releases. With some investment in continuous integration, they ensured that all important packages were kept in an installable state and that customized live images (a hallmark of the distribution) could always be created

Kali Linux includes security tools, such as:

• Aircrack-ng
  
• Armitage
  
• Burp suite
  
• Ettercap
  
• John the Ripper

  tools.
  
• Sqlmap
  
• Wireshark
  
• Hydra
  
• Reverse Engineering tools
  
• Binwalk
  
• Foremost
  
• Volatility
  
• Cisco Global Exploiter, a hacking tool used to find and exploit vulnerabilities in Cisco Network systems
  
• Also you can use install a lot new tools in kali linux from GitHub
  

These tools can be used for a number of purposes, most of which involve exploiting a victim network or application, performing network discovery, or scanning a target IP address. Many tools from the previous version (BackTrack) were eliminated to focus on the most popular penetration testing applications.


Recommended

• The recommended hardware specification for smooth run are:
  
• 10.0 GB of Hard Disk Space - SSD preferred
  
• Minimum of 2048 MB of RAM
  

Also you can use install the kali linux in you cell phone
