How to install Firefox echo “deb all main” > /etc/apt/sources.listĪpt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver C1289A29Īpt-get install thunderbird-mozilla-build FHS-compliance and /pentestĪnother massive step in the right direction is FHS-compliance. I would recommend staying with Iceweasel on Debian, but if you really want to use Firefox you can install it in the following manner by first uninstalling Iceweasel. Other than backported security patches and the logo, both Firefox and Iceweasel are identical. Because this is the case they had to re-brand it Iceweasel as the modifications made by Debian project were not approved by the Mozilla foundation in order to use the Thunderburd logo. The Debian project patches Iceweasel by backporting security fixes, thus making it secure enough to be declared in debian stable version. On first instance this might leave you wondering what Iceweasel is and why it has replaced Firefox. One of the first things I notice is that Firefox has been replaced by Iceweasel. This distribution is not for linux newbies in any case. Personally, I definitely prefer the Debian base for Kali as I like to tweak. Debian, which Kali is based on, may not come across to be so ‘user friendly’ to someone who is not that experienced with linux, and requires more hands on experience with linux, but is generally more configurable and stable. Ubuntu likes to make everything user friendly and tries to cut out any complex configurations. Ubuntu, which BackTrack is based on, has a general feel to it that it is trying to babysit you as the user, which can be annoying to an experienced linux user.
So what’s the difference between BackTrack and Kali? BackTrack 5 v Kali I have also noticed that in general Kali doesn’t break as easily as Backtrack and it generally has a much more stable feel to it. The process generally feels a lot smoother from the start. The first thing I notice is that the installation is no longer launched by executing a script on the Desktop as it was with BackTrack, but is initiated but booting into a proper Debian installation system. The biggest change from BackTrack is the move from Ubuntu linux to Debian Wheezy linux. The newest pen-test distribution released by Offensive Security which supersedes BackTrack comes with some massive and welcome improvements. How does it compare to BackTrack? and What’s the difference? Introductionįor some years BackTrack linux has been the premier pen-test distribution.
Kali Linux – What’s new? Kali Linux released earlier in the year is dubbed the most advanced penetration testing distribution, ever.
