On the other hand Kali is a Linux distribution focused on computer security, pre-installed with tools for penetration testing, vulnerability analysis, network auditing and digital forensics. It is popular among security professionals and enthusiasts for its comprehensive toolset and ease of use.

The next steps in this practice are:

  1. VirtualBox installation (optional if already installed) 2.
  2. Download Kali Linux
  3. Creation of the virtual machine
  4. Installing the operating system
  5. Verification of the installation
