KALI for Desktop use

[mbzadegan]

Hi everybody,
Is KALI is secure OS for desktop use?

[razorspells]

imho, it is only secure as you make it. Still depends on your settings, config, etc. ;-)

ok,
My intention is default installing without any config.
For example is that its kernel really secure and without any hardcode back door?

if you have a paranoia you can use the wireshark to monitor packets

[mbzadegan]

If the back door has builtin the kernel, it encrypt & send data without any signs or censors.

You can run wireshark on your gateway. IP headers probably won't be encrypted.

Also, Linux is open source. You could review the kernel and compile the code you read on your own.
