I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!

apropos man posted:

I remember watching Season 1 or Mr. Robot and seeing "@kali" as the hostname while Elliot is typing. I thought it was a bit overtly "hackerish" to have him using that. It's Ubuntu with some pentesting stuff installed by default, isn't it? Nothing that couldn't be accomplished with a regular OS install without drawing unneeded attention to oneself by using a l33t distro. Mind you, I can't remember if it was a laptop he was on at the time or not. It would make more sense to have Kali on a desktop, where you're less likely to be observed.

Both Kali and Ubuntu are derived from Debian, so no it's not "Ubuntu with some pentesting stuff."

Also I'm going to assume that Elliot was smart enough to completely separate his hacking poo poo from his personal poo poo so he didn't have Kali "installed" per say but used some kind of live cd to get a fresh slate every time and Kali has all the apps he'd ever use pre-installed so it makes sense for him to just use that instead.
