Software (Evaluation-Functionalities) - Kali Linux

 


Kali Linux, primarily a command-line-based operating system, does not have a traditional "home window." However, it offers a lightweight graphical user interface called XFCE, providing a familiar desktop environment with access to the user's personal files and folders. In XFCE, users can navigate, manage, and perform file operations on their files, as well as launch applications from the desktop or application menu. Nevertheless, Kali Linux's strength lies in its command-line interface and extensive suite of security tools, which security professionals and penetration testers predominantly utilize.

The area contained in the RED BOX is the applications menu similar to the start bar in Microsoft. In this menu window, you have a graphical view of the apps available on the OS and can open them with a click.

In the area contained in the YELLOW BOX are the control bar, power button and time display. In this area, you can turn off the computer, control the volume and brightness and see the time.

Above the RED BOX is a quick access bar that has the frequently used apps on the OS for easy access. In this area, you can minimize all the windows open, go to the command line, go to the home directory and more.
