"Kali also has a custom built kernel that is patched for injection." Can this be explained more? Maybe a link to some relevant article? What type of injection? 155.247.22.40 ( talk) 19:10, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
Where is this company located? Or does it even have a central address? If not, are the people behind it even located in one country? If so, which one? Thanks in advance to anybody who knows. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.105.113.136 ( talk) 07:03, January 11, 2016 (UTC)

How should be the name pronounced properly? [kɑːlɪ]? [kælɪ]? [kælai]? [kɑːlaɪ]? -- 178.197.220.114 ( talk) 12:27, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
What it says above. New logo is https://www.kali.org//images/kali-logo.svg , and it could be argued that the dragon mascot https://www.kali.org/images/kali-dragon-icon.svg is also a logo. The logo in the article matches neither. -- MCBastos ( talk) 21:11, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
To do with jobs to help to make something that can help other people and bring back what’s been stolen I want to be there for somebody to have their identity money robbery. 2600:1702:2180:7C50:208E:C35:4796:1223 ( talk) 00:33, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
The Kernel Auditing Linux statement was added by an IP editor, without any citation Special:Diff/948238360 shortly before before April Fools' Day 2020, and persisted. I agree it seems bogus and should have been deleted. However, the current brief statement, "The name was inspired by the Hindu goddess Kali" is not fully supported, even by the current citation video - i.e. Verification Fail. Gorman says one thing about Kali deity first, but Wilson does not agree, saying "I've heard various different stories... It's just Kali" Then they list various different meanings of Kali, which they think fit well. Another primary source also lists several possibilities, but concludes "None of the above." [1] Secondary sources, such as a couple previously added by me here Special:Diff/951186819 supported the Hindu goddess or demon. So, I am deleting the overly simple statement. Something with more detail seems appropriate. Also, citations have been mangled and are not used for some statements. -- Yae4 ( talk) 21:47, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
