Ae people actually using Kali to get their normal shit done? Isn't it some sort of pentester's liveCD or something? (not sure haven't used it since it was Backtrack),

[–] roadkill@kbin.social 38 points 1 year ago

Kiddies who like the idea of using a 'hacker' distro even though they'd never exceed a Ubuntu LiveCD usecase.

I've gotten a few to reconsider after pointing out that all the tools in Kali rely on lax permissions and security flaws remaining on their system for them to be effective when targeting others.

Kali is very unsafe as a daily driver

Last I messed with backtrack, it was basically just Debian pre-loaded with pen-testing and security software. I never thought to install it to my hard drive - I'm pretty sure it was not meant for that. I haven't messed with Kali so I'm not sure how it's different.

Yeah no, Kali is for VM use only imo, I don't wanna put my hard drive into an industrial shredder.

Kali is for VM use only imo

Or as a live-boot on a flash drive. Definitely not a daily driver, regardless.

They even wrote on their HP don't run Kali on bare metal and daily driver. But explain this to Mr. Hackerman.

So, Blackarch then? /jk

I didn't know trogdor was a Linux distro

[–] 30p87@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago

Because you like pain

looking forward to more r/masterhacker content in the future

Downvoted, who the hell recommend Kali as the first desktop. It is not even intended for desktop usage.

[–] Nagairius@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 year ago

I think that's the joke. You'd suggest mint to a newbie.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago

OP is the right guy.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

You didn't get the joke xD

I use BlackArch btw

[–] Rizoid@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

I use Kali a fair bit but even still It's not a daily driver.

If you want freedom in computing use Trisquel GNU / Linux
