Kali NetHunter Pro is an advanced, fully-featured version of Kali Linux specifically designed for ARM64 devices, such as the PinePhone, PinePhone Pro, and Qualcomm mainlined devices. Unlike the standard NetHunter, which runs as an overlay on Android, Kali NetHunter Pro is a pure Kali Linux distribution that brings the full power of desktop-class penetration testing to mobile platforms. It transforms compatible mobile devices into portable hacking machines by providing a complete Kali Linux experience without the limitations of running on top of an Android system. This enables professionals to perform penetration testing, security assessments, and other cybersecurity tasks directly from their mobile devices, with all the tools and features they would expect from a desktop environment.
