• The Kali Rolling Repository
• Kali sana (2.0) Repositories
• Kali moto (1.0) Repositories
• Kali Linux Repositories

The kali-rolling Repository

In contrast to kali-dev, kali-rolling is expected to be of better quality because it's managed by a tool that ensures the installability of all the packages it contains. The tool picks updated packages from kali-dev and copies them to kali-rolling only when they have been verified to be installable.
