NightHawk is a powerful Bash script designed to automatically scan and select the fastest Kali Linux mirror for your system. It dynamically fetches global mirrors, tests their response time, and updates /etc/apt/sources.list to use the quickest one — dramatically speeding up apt update and package downloads.
Perfect for Kali Linux users who want faster updates, better performance, and a cool hacker-style interface.
