BadAssKali

Turn a fresh supported Linux installation into a polished terminal, development, system administration, and authorized security-testing workspace.

Rebuilding a security workstation by hand is slow and inconsistent. Package drift, shell configuration, fonts, terminal tools, and language runtimes can consume hours before useful work begins.

BadAssKali provides a readable modular installer, compatibility checks, verification, and a consistent daily terminal environment.

Features

Polished terminal: Ghostty, Zsh, Powerlevel10k, Nerd Font, tmux, and a coherent visual setup.
Modern shell workflow: Atuin, zoxide, fzf, Yazi, eza, bat, direnv, HTTPie, and useful aliases.
Reliable installers: Match Ghostty with the required Zig release and isolate Python tooling safely.
Security toolkit: Install common discovery, web, directory-service, and password-audit utilities.
Modular setup: Organized modules and configuration files make the bootstrap auditable and maintainable.
Verification and removal: Validate the resulting environment and retain an explicit uninstall path.
