After ten years of evolution, Offensive Security brings us Kali 2.0! Kali 2.0 is by far the easiest to use of all the Backtrack/ Kali releases. For those used to the original Kali, the new Kali looks very different. But it is a good thing! The menus have been completely re-organized and streamlined and many of the tools are represented by helpful icons. Let’s take a look a few minutes and look at some of the new features of Kali 2.

If you purchased my “Basic Security Testing with Kali Linux” book which was written for the original version of Kali, this overview will help get you acclimated to the new desktop look quickly, all the underlying tools are pretty much the same. My new book, “Intermediate Security Testing with Kali Linux 2” is already written for Kali 2.0.

What’s new in Kali 2?
