Does Kali Linux Live mode enable UFW by default for inbound SSH traffic?

UFW Behavior in Live Environments

Kali Linux includes the Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) to manage network traffic, but its default state during a Live ISO boot is critical for establishing remote access via SSH.

In a standard Live session, the system relies on the kali-defaults package. There is an uncertainty regarding whether the firewall remains inactive by default or if specific ISO variants apply restrictive inbound policies that could interfere with the sshd daemon before manual configuration.

When using Live sessions with persistence, the state of the firewall may persist across reboots, potentially creating a discrepancy between a fresh boot and a persisted environment.

• Which default UFW policy is active immediately following a fresh boot of the Kali Live ISO?
• Does enabling UFW without explicit rule definition automatically block inbound port 22?
