Kali Linux is not about its tools, nor the operating system. Kali Linux is a platform.

Kali EverywhereA version of Kali is always close to you, no matter where you need it. Mobile devices, Docker, ARM, Amazon Web Services, Windows Subsystem for Linux, Virtual Machine, bare metal, and others are all available.
