In order to keep our ISO sizes reasonable, we are unable to include every single tool that we package for Kali and there are a number of tools that are not able to be used depending on hardware, such as various GPU tools. This package includes all of the tools you are familiar with in Kali. When you download a Kali Linux ISO, you are essentially downloading an installation that has the kali-linux-full metapackage installed. Installation Size: 1.5 GB kali-linux-full All of the other metapackages listed below also contain kali-linux.
The kali-linux metapackage is a completely bare-bones installation of Kali Linux and includes various network services such as Apache and SSH, the Kali kernel, and a number of version control applications like git, svn, etc. All of the Kali metapackages follow a particular naming convention, starting with “kali-linux” so if you want to see which metapackages are available, you can search for them as follows: apt-get update & apt-cache search kali-linuxĪlthough we tried to make the metapackage names self-explanatory, we are limited in the practical length we can use, so let’s take a brief look at each of them and see how much disk space is used by each one: kali-linux These metapackages allow for easy installation of certain tools in a specific field, or alternatively, for the installation of a full Kali suite. Until recently, we only had a handful of these meta packages but we have since expanded the metapackage list to include far more options: One of our goals when developing Kali Linux was to provide multiple metapackages that would allow us to easily install subsets of tools based on their particular needs.
