Packages Installed by Default on Kali Linux

I recently needed to look up whether gcc was installed by default on Kali and I didn't find an easy way to do that.

Here's a list of all of the packages installed by default on Kali as of the 2019.2 version: https://pastebin.com/raw/PzpEaYfS

Note that I used the Kali premade VM from Offensive Security, which installs things such as open-vm-tools in addition to the normal Kali rolling release.

In case you're curious what command I used to get this list:

dpkg --get-selections | cut -f1
