Operating systems
Kali Linux is built on one distribution
Each image follows its distribution's own provisioning model, package manager and security tooling — not one build relabelled several times.
Kali Linux
The offensive-security toolchain pre-installed, for authorised penetration testing and red-team work.
How it's built
How WIEWAVE builds and maintains this image
The same four steps behind every offer we've published, including the hardening and CIS Benchmark checks every build goes through.
- 01
Scoped
The distribution, licensing model and target marketplaces are agreed before anything is built.
- 02
Built & hardened as code
Packer templates, Ansible provisioning and a pinned package set — then hardened, scanned and checked against the CIS Benchmark for its distribution.
- 03
Certified & published
Taken through each cloud's own certification pipeline before it goes live on the marketplace.
- 04
Maintained
Rebuilt on the upstream security cadence and re-published, with old versions retired without breaking deployments.
FAQ
Kali Linux: common questions
If yours isn't here, ask our marketplace team directly.
Kali Linux is available on all three major cloud marketplaces: Azure Marketplace, AWS Marketplace and Google Cloud Marketplace.
The Kali Linux image is built on Kali Linux. Each build follows that distribution's own provisioning model, package manager and security tooling, so it behaves correctly once it's deployed.
WIEWAVE rebuilds its marketplace images on the upstream security cadence, re-scans and re-certifies them, and retires old versions in an order that doesn't break customers mid-deployment.
Pricing is shown on each marketplace listing and billed through your existing cloud account. If you need negotiated terms or a listing scoped to your organisation only, we can publish Kali Linux to you as a private offer.
Yes. We can build a customised Kali Linux image — on a different distribution, with a hardened baseline or your own configuration preinstalled — and publish it to the marketplace you need. Email cloud@wiewave.com with what you need.
