So what is it?

Kali Linux Roadmap is a Russian language study guide for learning Kali Linux, the Linux distribution built for penetration testing and security analysis. The guide follows a learn, then practice in your own lab, then write it down approach, and each section ends with a hands on exercise. It also links out to a set of Telegram channels the author runs or recommends, covering Linux basics, security, artificial intelligence, and a large collection of free Linux books. The guide opens with a clear legal warning: Kali is a tool, and every technique in the roadmap should only be used against systems you own or have written permission to test, since scanning, password guessing, or exploiting systems without permission is a criminal offense. It says the roadmap is not meant for someone's first Linux distribution or for daily use, and expects the reader to already be comfortable with the terminal, basic file permissions, and core networking concepts like IP addresses, ports, and DNS before starting. After that it covers the fundamentals a reader needs first, such as core Linux commands, basic networking, and Bash or Python scripting, then walks through installing Kali only from the official site with a checked SHA256 file, using VirtualBox, VMware, a live USB, or Windows Subsystem for Linux, followed by first setup steps like updating the system, installing guest additions, and changing the default password. It explains Kali's tool bundles, called metapackages, so users install only the tool groups they actually need instead of everything at once. The guide then explains how to build a home lab using isolated virtual networks and intentionally vulnerable practice targets such as Metasploitable, DVWA, OWASP Juice Shop, and VulnHub images, so nothing touches a real network. It goes on to map out tools by stage of a security test, including reconnaissance tools like nmap and theHarvester, vulnerability scanners like nikto and wpscan, exploitation tools like Metasploit, and web testing tools like Burp Suite and OWASP ZAP. The full README is longer than what was shown.
