Where does the name come from?

The name was picked to honor Michael Faraday, an English scientist whose main discoveries include electromagnetism induction, diamagnetism and electrolysis. Mainly his six principles of scientific discipline, acquired at a young age from Isaac Watts' "The Improvement of the mind":

  • Always carry a small pad to take notes at any time
  • Maintain abundant correspondence
  • Collaborate regularly with others to exchange ideas
  • Avoid controversy
  • Verify everything that was said to him
  • Do not generalize, speak and write as precisely as possible

Can I keep using the Kali version with my newly bought Professional/Corporate license?

In a nutshell, yes. Even though the Kali Faraday version is incompatible with both the Professional and Corporate licenses, you can upgrade the platform in the same box without losing all your data.

You will need to remove the package python-faraday and then you need to install the pro/corp .deb with apt install ./faraday-server_amd64.deb

Can I install the Server and/or Client in my own box instead of using a Virtual Machine you provided?

The only intended purpose for the Faraday VM is as a commercial demo.

For production environments we recommend doing a fresh install in a Ubuntu Server, please do not use your provided Demo License VM.

If the use of a Virtualized environment is a must-have, then we recommend doing a proper install in a fresh Virtual Machine following the regular installation steps.
