Data Sole PenTest Cloud Super+
Data Sole Kali PenTest Cloud Super+ is a ready-to-deploy, preconfigured Kali Linux virtual machine image designed for cybersecurity professionals, authorized penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, security laboratories, network analysis, software development, DevSecOps and cloud administration. It provides a comprehensive working environment combining Kali Linux security applications with development tools, container platforms, networking utilities, database clients and everyday desktop software. The image includes security tooling for information gathering, vulnerability assessment, web application testing, network analysis, packet inspection, password auditing, digital forensics and reverse engineering. Popular security applications and utilities include Nmap, Wireshark, Burp Suite and Metasploit, together with specialist Kali Linux security packages. The development environment supports Python, Node.js, Java, Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, Git, CMake and GCC, allowing the same virtual machine to be used for security research, scripting, automation, DevSecOps and application development. Docker, Docker Compose and Podman are also available for running isolated applications, development environments, databases and laboratory services. For network and cloud administration, the image includes OpenSSH, tcpdump, Wireshark, Nmap, iperf3, MTR, DNS utilities, curl, wget, rsync, tmux, htop and additional Linux administration tools. Database utilities provide support for PostgreSQL, MariaDB/MySQL-compatible systems, Redis and SQLite, while additional database environments can be deployed through containers. Data Sole Kali PenTest Cloud Super+ also functions as a complete desktop workstation, with applications such as Firefox ESR, Chromium, LibreOffice, VLC, GIMP, FileZilla, Remmina, KeePassXC and other productivity utilities. The image is designed primarily for KVM/QEMU and compatible cloud virtual machine infrastructure and provides both a graphical Kali Linux desktop and full terminal environment. Data Sole Kali PenTest Cloud Super+ provides one environment for cybersecurity, authorized penetration testing, development, DevSecOps, networking, containers, cloud administration and security laboratories. Deploy the virtual machine, update Kali Linux and start working. Cybersecurity and penetration-testing tools must only be used on infrastructure that you own or have explicit authorization to assess. Software versions and package availability may change as Kali Linux repositories and included third-party projects are updated.

Overview
Data Sole Kali PenTest Cloud Super+ is a preconfigured Kali Linux virtual machine image designed for cybersecurity professionals, penetration testers, developers, system administrators and security labs. It combines Kali security tools with development environments, networking utilities, container platforms, database clients and desktop applications in one ready-to-deploy cloud workstation.
Why this image
Avoid spending hours installing and configuring a new Kali environment. Super+ provides a comprehensive workstation with Kali security tooling alongside Nmap, Wireshark, Burp Suite, Metasploit, Docker, Podman, Git, Python, Node.js, Java, Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, SSH, database clients and productivity applications. It is designed to provide a practical environment that can be deployed and used quickly for authorized security testing, development and administration.
Common uses
- Authorized penetration testing and vulnerability assessment; cybersecurity training and security labs; network analysis and troubleshooting; web application security testing; digital forensics and reverse engineering; DevSecOps and security automation; Python, Node.js, Java, Go, Rust, Ruby and PHP development; Docker and Podman workloads; database administration; remote server administration; cloud infrastructure testing; security research and educational environments.
System requirements
Data Sole images are built and verified for the KVM/QEMU virtualisation standard. To import and boot an image, your host should meet the following:
- Hypervisor
- KVM/QEMU — the virtualisation standard behind Data Sole Cloud. Images drop straight in.
- CPU
- 64-bit (x86-64) host with hardware virtualisation (Intel VT-x / AMD-V) enabled in the BIOS/UEFI.
- Memory
- 2 GB RAM minimum per guest; 4 GB or more recommended for production workloads.
- Storage
- Free space for the QCOW2 image plus headroom to grow — 20 GB or more recommended.
- Access
- An SSH key pair — password authentication is disabled by default.
- Network
- Bridged or NAT networking so the guest can reach the internet on first boot.
Virtualisation & compatibility
This image is built and tested for KVM/QEMU — the virtualisation standard behind Data Sole Cloud, so it deploys straight onto our cloud. You may be able to convert and run it on other platforms such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon (AWS), Microsoft Azure or VMware, but compatibility isn't guaranteed and isn't covered by toolkits support.
