Kali Linux is my main distribution on my laptop and serves as my everyday operating system of preference.

I use Kali Linux to automate tasks with Bash, check SSL certificates, and I particularly appreciate Metasploit. Kali Linux comes with penetration testing tools, and I also perform programming with Python that is installed on the system. These are the tools I use daily.

I also use Kali Linux to create reports with a word processor. There is a useful tool to explore databases and connectivity, and there are numerous tools available to check network connectivity.

I have installed Kali Linux in a Docker container and run it with connectivity through SSH, so I do not use the GUI and graphic interface much.

I use Kali Linux on my own laptop, and I believe I am the only security user using Kali Linux in my organization. I am also the only user in general.

The best features Kali Linux offers in my experience are the pre-installed security tools. This is very useful because I do not need to install all these security tools by hand in another distribution, which is why I use Kali Linux every day.

I find myself using the pre-installation of Metasploit and other open-source security tools the most, as it stands out in Kali Linux. Although Metasploit is very old and outdated, it is handy for conducting small initial penetration tests. All the tools for checking Wi-Fi connectivity, password cracking, and testing password security are also very handy.

Kali Linux positively impacts my organization by allowing us to monitor changes and security posture for the company. We have all the tools to conduct periodic checks, which is especially useful for ISO 27000 certification.

Kali Linux helps with ISO 27000 certification by keeping documentation and proof. Every time I find something during penetration testing, such as an operating system for an app that falls outside of the normal metrics, I document it using Kali Linux, and keeping this documented is very handy to achieve and maintain ISO 27000 certification.

There are many improvements that can be made to Kali Linux. For example, a better database for Metasploit and keeping the tools more up to date would be beneficial. As I mentioned before, Kali Linux comes with a very old version of the product or software, but it is usually up to the user to update and upgrade.

There is a significant lack of examples for Kali Linux, so you always need to go to external resources to get examples on how to use several tools that come with Kali Linux. There is no easy way to find out how the tools work or what tools are installed in Kali Linux.

I have been working in my current field for seven years.

Kali Linux is very stable for my needs. It does the work, and there is also a version for my Raspberry Pi that I use for some examples.

Scalability is not applicable for this product, as I use Kali Linux as a single entity and a single operating system for my normal use. I do not need to scale up or handle increased workloads, but if I need more workload, I would probably need more CPU, and Kali Linux will handle that properly.

I have needed help with Kali Linux, but I have never received help from any source, as there is not an option to get support.

Kali Linux is my first distribution for security in Linux. I tried other distributions, but I always stick with Kali Linux. It was the first that I knew and the one that I always use.

I did not evaluate other options. I selected Kali Linux because it was the first one that showed me the right direction for security testing.

There is no investment involved because I am using the product on my laptop, so there is no return on investment. The return on investment is having all the tools readily available without any cost.

My advice to others looking into using Kali Linux is to only install it if you are a security-focused person and not to use it for daily, day-to-day activities if you are a normal user. I would rate my overall experience with Kali Linux as a seven out of ten.
