NO LONGER MAINTAINED - DEPRECATED/ARCHIVED

##1 Katoolin is based on hardcoded text representation of the different available tools, keeping that up to date by hand is a horrible and boring job.

##2 There are other tools providing installations of kali linux tools like Tool-X.

##3 There will never be a situation where you need all of the kali linux tools at once. In the end only a small subset is necessary for penetration testing or analysis etc.

So you can just get the tools from kali itself from [kali.org/tools-listing](https://tools.kali.org/tools-listing

katoolin
