1.4.4. Completely Customizable
Kali Linux is built by penetration testers for penetration testers but we understand that not ev- eryone will agree with our design decisions or choice of tools to include by default. With this in mind, we always ensure that Kali Linux is easy to customize based on your own needs and prefer- ences. To this end, we publish the live-build configuration used to build the official Kali images so you can customize it to your liking. It is very easy to start from this published configuration and implement various changes based on your needs thanks to the versatility of live-build.
Live-build includes many features to modify the installed system, install supplementary files, in- stall additional packages, run arbitrary commands, and change the values pre-seeded to debconf.
