At High Threat Protection (HTP), we rely on some of the most advanced tools in the cybersecurity industry—and Kali Linux is one of our core assets. Known as the go-to distribution for penetration testing and digital forensics, Kali Linux is a powerful, open-source operating system developed by Offensive Security.

What makes Kali Linux essential for cybersecurity professionals is its preloaded suite of over 600 security tools, including:

• Nmap for network discovery
