Is there any CD to install Kali Linux?
Installing Kali Linux on your computer is an easy process. First, you’ll need compatible computer hardware. Kali is supported on i386, amd64, and ARM (both armel and armhf) platforms. The hardware requirements are minimal as listed below, although better hardware will naturally provide better performance. The i386 images have a default PAE kernel, so you can run them on systems with over 4GB of RAM. Download Kali Linux and either burn the ISO to DVD, or prepare a USB stick with Kali Linux Live as the installation medium. If you do not have a DVD drive or USB port on your computer, check out the Kali Linux Network Install.

You can try backports in live usb persistence of kali linuxBackports provide drivers released on newer kernel back-ported for usage of older kernels. The Project was originally known as compat-wireless, evolved to compat-drivers and was recently renamed simply to backports.Current version of backports support all machine kernels starting with version 3.0 for kernels version older than 3.0 please use backports-3.14, which supports all kernel version back to 2.6.26.To install Backports-->sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -ysudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)cd /usr/src/sudo wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/...sudo tar xvfJ backports-3.16.2-1.tar.xzcd backports-3.16.2-1sudo make defconfig-wifisudo makesudo make installsudo update-initramfs -urebootAlso in order to use wireless in VM's you need to connect an external usb wireless card such as Tplink Wn722n or any other
How can I run Kali Linux on the Android device without rooting?
Step 1.

How to uninstall older version of Kali Linux?
When new kernels are introduced and installed the older kernels remain in the system. They are located in the /boot folder and are displayed in the Grub menu. Over time, unless the older kernels are removed, the Grub menu will continue to expand, as will the space occupied in the /boot folder. Should the user wish to remove one or more older kernels there are several ways to do so. Physically removing a kernel from the OS will also remove it from the Grub 2 menu once the Grub menu is updated with the "update-grub" command. Another method is to manually edit the Grub 2 scripts to display only an assigned number of kernels (even if more kernels are retained in /boot). Note: Users should consider keeping a known, working older kernel. This provides insurance in case the user experiences problems with a newly-introduced kernel. The older kernel will be displayed on the Grub 2 menu as long as it remains in the /boot folder.
What are all the different versions of Kali Linux, on their downloads page?
In any Linux distribution there are many different versions available based on hardware architecture 32bit/64bit and on same architecture also there are many version which are basically same, only difference is of Desktop Environment (DE).A Desktop Environment is the interface that lets you communicate with operating system. It is just outer surface, which includes icons, bars, panels, menus, etc and also specific applications like mailing, etc. It is just like a Launcher in Android phone.KDE, GNOME, MATE, Cinnamon, Unity, Xfce are some of famous DEs.KDE:GNOME:Cinnamon:MATE:Unity:Xfce:Image Source: Tecmint: Linux Howtos, Tutorials & GuidesP.S.

What are good hardened Linux distributions?
It depends. As always.How hardened do you want it? Should it self-destruct as soon as it's sure it's being attacked? Use TOR?From a more practical "operations" perspective, If you're looking for a solid distro for use in production, with carefully vetted package updates and backported security fixes... you can't go wrong with RedHat - RHEL6. Or, with CentOS's de-branded version of that.The distro's relatively secure already. The backported security fixes are immensely good in production - you don't get "major" new features on packages (read that as "the update won't cause you to have to change your config files") but you do get all of the security fixes.It's easy enough to enable SELinux, lock down services w/ iptables, and even implement port knocking and such if desired. To save you some time: "Hardened Linux" hasn't provided a new download since the 2007/2008 timeframe. Novell acquired Immunix in 2005... not sure what's happened with it since then. Likewise, no idea if anything's going with Annvix.Frontpage | Alpine Linux seems much more active - they had a new release just this month.Were I planning to put a hardened Linux server into operation, I would investigate what changes Alpine, Kali, and TAILS have implemented, and consider the pros/cons of applying similar changes to RHEL6.
