VAPT test in Kali Linux

[kaushalshriyan]

Hi,

I am referring to https://www.kali.org/downloads/ and i am confused regarding which ISO needs to be downloaded. I want to run VAPT test for a cluster of 3 Linux servers which are remotely hosted in AWS.

Please comment. I look forward to hearing from you and thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Kaushal

AWS has prebuilt images (Kali AMI) that you can use. FYI, when doing a pentest from/to an AWS box, you also have to let Amazon know you're doing one.

You can use whatever image you want. For the most part, they are just different desktop environment (and 32/64 bit, as well as 2 light images).
