BODY:

   The Kali Linux penetration testing platform contains a vast array of tools and utilities, from information gathering to final reporting, that enable security and IT professionals to assess the security of their systems.

   Following are types of tools of Kali.

        1.Information Gathering

        2.Vulnerability Analysis

        3.Wireless Attacks

        4.Web Applications

        5.Exploitation Tools

        6.Forensics Tools

        7.Stress Testing

        8.Sniffing & Spoofing

        9.Password Attacks

       10.Maintaining Access

       11.Reverse Engineering

       12.Hardware Hacking

       13.Reporting Tools

     Well,Although there are many types of tools in Kali,some tools of them are seldom used.For example, when hacking a insecure website with a simple form which does not defend SQL Injection,you can manage to hack it by the only tool sqlmap of Web Applications.So,the strength of Kali is that it collects plenty of open source and powerful tools when it is installed.Because of its tiny property,you can install Kali in VMware or Virtual Box in windows as a set of various hacking tools.

     Let me introduction anther example.As we know, information is important.The tool burp suite of Web Applications can capture packages when the form of the website is submitted.It can catch the HTTP transmission packages which carry users’ private information while people don’t know about it.So,some hackers release a free WIFI disguising a common  WIFI like Starbucks’.If you connect to it and sign in unencrypted HTTP website,hackers can get your accounts(actually your account cookie of HTTP packages) easily.
