Downloading Kali Linux

For safety and security reasons, it is always best to download Kali Linux directly from the website of its creators, Offensive Security. The main reason for this being that the downloads of Kali on other pages could possibly be fake, or worse, infected with malware such as Trojans, rootkits, and even ransomware. Offensive Security has also included hashes of all versions of Kali downloads on their site, allowing users to compare the hash of their downloaded version of Kali with what was generated and posted by Offensive Security on their website (https://www.kali.org). Once there, you can click on the Downloads link ,or go directly to the Kali Linux Downloads page by visiting https://www.kali.org/downloads/.
