RE: What should I buy for Kali PenTesting 08-04-2016, 03:19 PM

Kali and other pentesting distros are excellent learning and security tools but they are inherently complex (and therefore potentially dangerous if misused). The best thing for you to do is to wait for your build and study hardware, software, and all other forms of human and engineering logic. When I was a very young person a scientist told me something I never forgot: "Young chemists focus on exothermy and catecholamines, but the wisest understand that the things we build here are tools in the truest sense...". That being said, at this point in your development it would be a more productive use of your resources and time to study the forms, styles, and mentalities of the masters who occupy the intergridwebnet or whatever we call this place now. To my sensibilities you want to fly but have not fully learned how to crawl yet. Even after a lifetime of doing this stuff I think of the virtual connected world as an environment with exactly the same perils as the physical plane our bodies occupy, and this attitude has been formed by decades of watching my friends get arrested, imprisoned, and [metaphorically] crucified because their curiosity outweighed their prudence. Best of luck, friend.
P.s. for the love of god, please do not install your KALI images without verifying your checksums (since you don't seem like the type to compile from source)
