Kali Linux is a specialized version of Debian designed for penetration testing. To that end, a major effort has gone into setting up a local environment for hands-on experience for budding hackers. The latest version includes DVWA, or Damn Vulnerable Web Application, as well as Juice Shop.
These are web applications designed to allow users to practice breaking into them. The ostensible purpose is for developers to see how hackers breach websites so they can design more secure ones.
