Ok, Let’s come to point. There is a software for Microsoft Window OS that has inbuilt literally all Kali Linux tools. It is known as pentestbox. You can download it free from the official site. The size of this software is 2.1 GB size which is also less than Kali Linux size.
Here is quick compression of Kali Linux vs. pentestbox
Kali LinuxPentestbox
Size | 2.9 GB | 2.1 GB |
Price | Free, open source | Free, open source |
Performance | Slow in virtualization | Fast |
UI | Good | It is window software, window UI is better than Linux |
Wireless adapter | Needed in virtualization | No, it is a software |
Hacking tools | More than Kali Linux | Less than kali, have all basic tools |
Pentestbox is better than Kali Linux virtual box machine for beginners and intermediate don’t know about advanced user [ because I am not that] Pentest has the inbuilt forum to help you if you face any problem and like Kali Linux, it is a free and open source tool.
Here is how to install Pentestbox in your PC
- Disable your antivirus because it contains hacking tools, so you need to disable your antivirus. Don’t worry your computer will not be hacked. If you install Metasploit window version, then you have to disable your antivirus. It contains too many hacking tools so disable antivirus.
- If you don’t know to disable antivirus don’t worry I will tell you
- Open your antivirus click on settings and turn off Antivirus
- Download it from the official site. It has two variant Pentestbox and Pentestbox with Metasploit. I recommend you to use second because it has Metasploit which is mother father of Penetration testing.
- Open this. it will ask you extract folder by default it is c:\pentestbox I strongly recommend you to choose default C:\pentestbox it is easy to uninstall if want in future or easy to launch. Click on Extract button
- It will take some time to extract files. In my computer, it takes 29 minutes to extract fully. After extracting it will close automatically.
- Now installation is done you need to open it. It is not standard software that will present in All programs. This tool compiles Linux programmers into windows. To launch it go to c:\pentestbox [where you install it] and open pentestbox
Now you are ready to use it. Here is its default look
Basic Introduction to Pentestbox
Basically, in short, this is your Linux terminal

Conclusion: There are many advantages of Pentestbox over Kali Linux. because many critical work can be done by only Microsoft Windows Not why Kali Linux that’s why 50% people in pen testing use virtualization. Pentestbox is much better than Virtualization. I strongly recommend you to use this tool.
