Demon Linux is a Debian-based distribution built for web and cloud penetration testing specifically, rather than the broader network/ exploitation/forensics scope covered by distros like Kali.

Use it only against systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test — see the disclaimer.

Getting started

Demon Linux is a Debian-based distribution with an XFCE4 desktop and a custom dark theme, scoped more narrowly than general-purpose pentest distros toward web and cloud application testing. Its official site documents Caido by name; beyond that it doesn't publish a structured tool catalog, and its own materials indicate the project is mid-transition between releases, so check the site directly for the current stable version before installing.
