BackTrack is a Linux distribution designed by Jason Dennis based on the Ubuntu Linux distribution aimed at digital forensics and penetration testing use. In March 2013, the Offensive Security team rebuilt BackTrack and released it under the name Kali Linux.

Kali Linux is an advanced Penetration Testing and Security Auditing Linux distribution. Kali Linux features a complete re-build of BackTrack Linux, adhering completely to Debian development standards. All-new infrastructure has been put in place, all tools were reviewed and packaged.

This Kali Linux course addresses both platforms and focuses on using the tools of BackTrack/Kali Linux for authorized penetration testing and vulnerability analysis for both wired and wireless networks. None of these tools should be used in any unauthorized, unlawful or harmful ways.
