Kali is a rolling Linux distribution, meaning as soon as we have an update, we ship it. Would-be users have a variety of images to choose from. For more information, please see Which Image Should I Download? and Kali Branches. For most users, we recommend the latest “point release” image below, except in cases when a user requires a specific bug patch, in which case the weekly build may be best.

We generate fresh Kali Linux image files every quarter. These become the official 'point' releases. These images are tested and subsequently announced with a blog post.

Q.)How to download Kali Linux images securely?


Want an Updated or Custom Kali Image?

Feeling a little more adventurous? Want to build the latest version of Kali? Want to customize your ISO by adding more tools or change the default settings? Looking for something other than Xfce, GNOME or KDE like Enlightenment, i3mw, LXDE or MATE? Then this is the option for you.

Kali Linux VMware & VirtualBox images are available for users who prefer, or whose specific needs require a virtual machine installation.

These images have the default credentials'kali/kali'.

Vagrant

Vagrant is a tool for building and managing virtual machine environments. With a single configuration file, you can download a base “box” and apply additional configurations like adding an additional network interface, setting the number of CPU cores and memory, or running a script on first boot.

Are you looking for Kali Linux ARM images? We have generated flavours of Kali using the same build infrastructure as the official Kali releases for ARM architecture.

These images have a default credentials of 'kali/kali'.

The Kali NetHunter project is the first Open-source Android penetration testing platform for Android devices, allowing for access to the Kali toolset from various supported Android devices. There are multiple unique features not possible on other hardware platforms.

The Kali NetHunter interface allows you to easily work with complex configuration files through a local web interface. This feature, together with a custom kernel that supports 802.11 wireless injection and preconfigured connect back VPN services, make the Kali NetHunter a formidable network security tool or discrete drop box - with Kali Linux at the tip of your fingers wherever you are!

Statistics

Want to see Kali NetHunter progress? Look at the stats page, to see if your device is supported yet.

Kali NetHunter provides:

    • A dedicated NetHunter App, providing a touch screen optimized GUI for common attack categories, such as:
    • One-click MANA Evil Access Point setups.
    • USB HID Keyboard attacks, much like the Teensy device is able to do.
    • BadUSB MITM attacks. Plug in your Kali NetHunter to a victim PC, and have your traffic relayed though it.
    • Bluetooth attacks.
  • Full Kali Linux toolset, with many tools available via a simple menu system.
  • Command line interface to the Kali Linux container.
  • Custom, device specific kernel with wireless injection support.
  • HDMI output of Kali desktop to external display for supported devices.
  • USB Y-cable with the Kali NetHunter kernel - use your OTG cable while still charging your device!
  • Software Defined Radio support (SDR). Use Kali NetHunter with your HackRF to explore the wireless radio space.
  • NetHunter app store allowing you to grow the potential of Kali NetHunter.

Kali Cloud images can quickly be deployed in multiple different cloud provider’s infrastructures. This allows easy access to a Kali install in a modern environment with strong hardware resources. These are often used for short term Kali installs that are quick to deploy and quick to tear down.


Kali-Cloud Documentation

Using Container technology such as Docker and LXC/LXD, our Kali containers allow you access to the Kali toolset on your host operating system without the overhead of running an additional full operating system. This does come with limitations, as you won’t have direct hardware access and dealing with inbound connections to tools running in the Kali container can be complicated.


Kali-Containers Documentation

A Kali Linux Live image on a CD/DVD/USB/PXE can allow you to have access to a full bare metal Kali install without needing to alter an already-installed operating system. This allows for quick easy access to the Kali toolset with all the advantages of a bare metal install. There are some drawbacks, as disk operations may slow due to the utilized storage media.

For most users, we recommend the latest “point release” image below, except in cases when a user requires a specific bug patch, in which case the weekly build may be best.

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a software package on modern Windows installs that allow you to run Linux alongside your Windows system in an optimized container. The Kali WSL package allows easy access to the Kali toolset. This comes with the same drawbacks of a standard VM, but allows for less overhead and tighter integration with your Windows systems.
