Adding the Kali Linux forensics metapackage

Kali metapackages are collections of tools that can be downloaded as a full package. Depending on the version of Kali you installed, it may not come with all the tools you may have expected or viewed on the tools listing page at https://www.kali.org/tools/all-tools/, which lists all the tools available in Kali Linux. For our DFIR purposes, for example, a listing of all forensics tools can be viewed at https://www.kali.org/tools/kali-meta/#kali-tools-forensics, where you can click on the drop-down arrow in the Dependencies section to view a listing of all tools.

All of the preceding tools are contained in the kali-tools-forensics metapackage and can be installed by typing the following command:

sudo apt install kali-tools-forensics

The following screenshot shows the execution and output of the command.
