The answer the second question - How to make Kali the best possible platform for training? - we work very closely with the OffSec content development team to find out what tools they are using for training, what sort of default environment works best for learners, and what we can do in Kali to support general education efforts.

Surprisingly, even though Kali is built for advanced information security work, it is often the first Linux many users ever use.

We want to ensure that you don't have to be a Linux professional to utilize Kali successfully in OffSec courses.

What's your vision for Kali Linux in the next 12 months? What areas need polishing?

While the tools and scripts change, Kali Linux as a platform to launch them does not have to change much.

Kali installed on bare metal, Kali in a VM, Kali in containers, Kali on WSL, Kali on various ARM devices such as Raspberry Pi, Kali in a cloud instance such as AWS and Azure, Kali on your Android phone or tablet - we even have Kali running on a watch! No matter where you are or what your needs are, we want Kali to be easy to access and run.
