CYBERSECURITY JOB HUNTING GUIDE
Kali Linux
Author: Stefan Waldvogel
Kali Linux is the main pen test OS
Overview:
It is one of the main penetration tester distributions and Debian-based. If you know Ubuntu, Kali Linux is easy to learn. Most red courses like INE or RangeForce use Kali Linux. If you do not know any of the mentioned distributions, I recommend Kali Linux.

Disadvantages:
OffensiveSecurity constantly changes this distribution and does not include popular tools like GVM or Armitage.
Advantages:
It is easy to use and Debian based. Every 3 months, you get a new version and you learn new tools. You can get pre-build versions for most hypervisors.
