Kali Linux courses can help you learn penetration testing, network security, vulnerability assessment, and ethical hacking techniques. You can build skills in using command-line tools, scripting for automation, and analyzing security protocols. Many courses introduce tools like Metasploit, Wireshark, and Nmap, demonstrating how these skills are applied in real-world security assessments and threat analysis.
