The attacks to the virtual machines with use of the Kali Linux tools were organized. As a result of experiments is Kali Linux allows revealing and analyzing vulnerabilities at the channel, network and transport levels. For detection of problems at the level of applications that is urgent for virtualization of platforms, it is necessary to use commercial products of ethic hacking in addition.
