What differentiates Kali Linux Penetration Testing from other similar products?
With Kali Linux, we may carry a useful operating system on a USB stick and use it from any device thanks to its persistent live boot mode and forensic mode. In terms of investigating cyber incidents, it will be quite helpful. Anyone interested in cyber security will find it to be a powerful OS. It offers very high levels of stability and security.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite part is Open-Source. Offensive Security is working a lot and contributing to Open-Source Community.
What do you dislike most about this product?
If all essential tools are pre-installed on the Kali Linux OS, that would be fantastic. because the most recent upgrades do not include programmes like ZAP and several Python libraries. However, these are crucial components of security testing.

Just go for it, It suits from Beginners till the Expert level for the Pentesters.
