Packaging applications in Docker containers

Conclusions and Outlook

For Kali Linux users, Kaboxer offers the advantage of installing tools and applications that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to set up. You may notice (if at all) the use of containers instead of regular DEB packages due to the somewhat longer installation time. With a little practice, you can package simple applications quite quickly. Whether the developers of other Debian derivatives will eventually take advantage of Kaboxer's technology remains to be seen.
