FYI --

"Downloading Kali Linux"

"Alert!  Always make certain you are downloading Kali Linux from official sources, as well as verifying md5sums against official values.  It would be easy for a malicious entity to modify a Kali install to contain malicious code, and host it unofficially."

No kidding!

So how come whenever you do apt-get in Kali Linux, it accesses http://security.kali.org and http://http.kali.org ??

Hasn't Kali heard about MITM attacks against http ??

What's the point of verifying md5sums against official values, if Kali can't even get the "official values" securely ??
