Because of the complexity of the tools, the installation needs of these tools, will become a vast project. In order to facilitate the penetration of users to work, some people will all the tools are preinstalled in a Linux system. Among them, the typical operating system is the Kali Linux used in this book.
The system is mainly used for penetration testing. It comes preloaded with many penetration testing software, including Nmap port scanners, Wireshark (Packet Analyzer), John the Ripper (password cracking), and Aircrack-ng (a set of software for penetration testing of wireless LANs).
