Does Metasploit require something specific to Kali in order to run it?
As far as I know, Kali is just a collection of tools on a convenient
disk. Why they need to insist on a systemd based distro boggles my mind
in the same way that systemd boggles my mind. It's senseless, pointless
and overly complex.
As long as I'm on a rant, the same goes for Security Onion. They have a
collection of good IDS tools, but they insist on a desktop GUI to be
installed along with all the senseless, pointless and overly complex
packages that I would simply never install on a box performing security
tasks. Why these devs do these things is beyond reason.
