BackTrack Linux development has been halted already to give way to a new Security Distro – Kali Linux. This is from the creators of BackTrack and a project of Offensive Security. A full-fledged operating system adhering completely to Debian Development.
Kali Linux can be installed on an ARM Architecture and even to Galaxy Note 10.1
On this guide, I have tested Kali Linux using Vmware Workstation. So far the installation was a breeze.
Various tools included in Kali Linux
Aircrack-ng
Burpsuite
Hydra
John
Maltego
Metasploit Framework
Nmap
SQLmap
Wireshark
Zaproxy
