    Kali is secure as in once it’s configured, it cannot be accessed without creds, keys etc. That meets the definition of ‘secure’. It’s just Linux with a bunch of pre installed packages.

    Of course something can always be more secure. But saying Kali isn’t secure is like me saying your PC isn’t secure because it isn’t air gapped like my most secure PC.

      PCs aren’t secure. Linux default isnt secure. Kali has so many apps/tools installed by default that it isnt comparable to default Linux. It has massive attack surface and no security design, therefore calling it secure isn’t accurate.

      If no effort was put into the security design of an OS, why call it secure?
