Catch and hold admin rights on the network, and maintain backdoors on the network after your initial testing is doneIn DetailMicrosoft Windows is one of the two most common OS and managing its security has spawned the discipline of IT security. Kali Linux is the premier platform for testing and maintaining Windows security. Kali is built on the Debian distribution of Linux and shares the legendary stability of that OS.
