Kali Portable Full is a complete, containerized red team workstation built on top of Kali Linux Rolling. Packaged as a single Docker image, it ships over 100 offensive security tools — from network scanners and exploit frameworks to Active Directory attack suites and forensic analyzers — so you can spin up a fully operational pentesting station on any Linux host in minutes. It was created by Diego Arriagada Zamora (V0rt3xS0urc3) and is designed for ethical hackers, security students, and practitioners who want a reproducible, GPU-accelerated environment that works equally well on a fresh laptop or an existing workstation.

​
Key Features

100+ Pentesting Tools Pre-installed

A curated arsenal covering recon, exploitation, web auditing, Active Directory, post-exploitation, forensics, mobile hacking, and more — all ready to use the moment the container starts.

NVIDIA GPU Acceleration for Hashcat

OpenCL is pre-configured inside the image. When NVIDIA Container Toolkit is present on the host, Hashcat automatically uses the GPU for dramatically faster password cracking.

Automated WPA2 Cracking Pipeline

The included auto-crack-wpa2.sh script orchestrates the full capture-to-crack workflow: monitor mode setup, handshake capture with hcxdumptool, format conversion, and Hashcat with best64.rule.

Persistent Data Volume

The ./data/ directory on the host maps to /root/pentest inside the container. Wordlists, handshakes, loot, VPN configs, and reports all survive container restarts automatically.

Two Run Modes: Normal and WPA2

run-kali.sh normal launches the full toolset with X11 forwarding for GUI apps (Burp Suite, Wireshark). run-kali.sh wpa2 adds --privileged access required for USB WiFi hardware and monitor mode.

Compatible with THM, HTB, and DockerLabs

OpenVPN is pre-installed and configured. Drop your .ovpn file into ./data/vpn/ and connect to TryHackMe, HackTheBox, or any VPN-based practice platform straight from inside the container.

​
Requirements

Before installing Kali Portable, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
  • Docker 20.10 or higher — the installer script will install Docker automatically if it is not present
  • ~15 GB of free disk space — the full image and downloaded wordlists require approximately 15 GB
  • NVIDIA Container Toolkit (optional) — required only for GPU-accelerated Hashcat; without it, cracking falls back to CPU
  • USB WiFi adapter compatible with monitor mode and packet injection (optional) — required only for live WiFi auditing; recommended adapters include the Alfa AWUS036NHA, TP-Link TL-WN722N v1, and Panda PAU09
